More than N$100 mln for infrastructure for Karibib

KARIBIB – The Karibib Town Council (KTC) serviced 309 erven in 2017, the town’s mayor, Petrus Nabot has said. Of the serviced erven, Nabot said the council plans to build 21 houses for its employees while 71 erven were sold to the National Housing Enterprise. KTC also entered into a public-private partnership (PPP) agreement with Tulaing Properties Developer to construct 50 low-cost houses. The remaining erven, meanwhile, will be sold to residents on a private treaty mode as per the council’s waiting list.“The extension that we have also built is Extension 4 whereby we have started with 20 houses. Those houses are 99% completed,” said Nabot, adding that the houses are valued between N$200 000 and N$600 000 each.He added that Extension 5 is being developed to cater for housing needs of different income groups. The groups are divided into three: ultra-low income (earning N$3 000 and below), low (earning between N$3 000 and N$7 000) and middle (earning from N$7 000 to N$15 000).“We want to make housing accessible to the people of Karibib in order to mitigate or to assist our government in achieving national growth, especially the Harambee Prosperity Plan,” said Nabot. Master planA document obtained from the KTC shows that a little over N$100 million has been earmarked for a bulk infrastructure master plan for 2016 to 2030. As part of the plan, the council seeks to service Karibib Extension 2 (N$10.5 million), Karibib Extension 3 (N$14.6 million) and Karibib Extension 4 for N$16.5 million. The same document shows that Usab Extension 2 (N$15.9 million), Usab Extension 3 (N$15.3 million) and Usab Extension 4 (N$10.1 million) will also be serviced. A total of 886 erven will be serviced in the process. These include both residential, industrial and institutional plots. For the short term, a N$9 million water reservoir will be constructed, while another N$8 million will be used for an additional reservoir. A combined N$38.2 million will be used to set up a sewerage treatment plant at the town, the plan further reveals. - Nampa
