Nashandi redeployed, new PSes named

The Office of the Prime Minister has announced the appointment and redeployment of new permanent secretaries with effect from 1 August 2018. In a press statement on Tuesday, the cabinet secretariat announced that I-Ben Nashandi, who was formerly at the poverty eradication ministry, will now take over as the substantive PS in the Office of the Prime Minister. He will take over from Nangula Mbako who retired last year, but has seemingly been retained as special advisor to Prime Minister Saara Kuugongelwa-Amadhila. The other permanent secretary at the OPM is Andreas Mwoombola who is responsible for public service improvement. Nashandi has been replaced by Esther Lusepani at the poverty eradication ministry. Government has also announced the appointment of Annely Haiphene as the new PS at the National Planning Commission, replacing Leevi Hungamo who resigned last year. Hungamo had quit his government job just months after he was found not guilty for any wrongdoing in his involvement in the multi-billion coastal fuel storage facility saga. Hungamo was charged over the cost of the fuel storage facility at Walvis Bay which rose from N$3.7 billion in 2014 to N$5.5 billion in 2016. Abraham Iilonga is the new accounting officer responsible for veterans affairs and takes over from Hopelong Ipinge who recently retired, while Annascy Mwanyangapo, who served as deputy permanent secretary at the ministry of industrialisation, is now the substantive PS at the ministry of public enterprises.STAFF REPORTER
