CIF urges politicians to prioritise local businesses
NEWS IN SHORT
The Construction Industries Federation of Namibia (CIF) has urged political leaders to commit to immediate and meaningful support for local contractors.
“The survival and growth of the sector, which is vital to job creation and the broader economy, depend on essential reforms, including the creation of a National Construction Council to regulate and oversee the industry,” CIF CEO Bärbel Kirchner said.
Kirchner reiterated that foreign contractor dominance threatens the survival of Namibian businesses.
“Over the years, numerous large-scale projects have been awarded to foreign firms, often at the expense of local businesses.”
