Shuuya is new Opuwo CEO

The Opuwo town council has appointed Petrus Shuuya as the town's new CEO. The chairperson of the council's management committee, Richard Tjazapi, said Shuuya started his new job yesterday. He took over from Alfons Tjitombo, whose contract was not renewed last year. Tjazapi said Shuuya is a former employee of the Ministry of Urban and Rural Development.“He holds a master's degree in public administration and is highly experienced. He was the best scorer in the interview and was recommended as such,” Tjazapi said. He said Shuuya worked for the Kunene Regional Council for several years before joining the ministry. Tjitombo is now the CEO of the Omaruru town council in the Erongo Region. He had been blamed for a lack of development at Opuwo by a group of residents who staged several protests. In November last year, the Outapi town council's manager for infrastructure and technical services, Iiyambo Benjamin, was seconded to Opuwo as acting CEO to drive the recruitment process. The CEO post was advertised three times. The process was delayed by the simultaneous recruitment of two other managers to fill vacancies that were also supervised by Iiyambo. ILENI NANDJATO
