ACTING minister of public enterprises Ipumbu Shiimi has temporarily extended the contracts of Namibia Wildlife Resorts (NWR) board members, for another six months until the end of the year. The board, whose contracts came to an end this week, are expected to provide oversight of the strategic direction of the tourism company until December 14, 2022. A recruitment drive for the new board has occurred, but has not been finalised yet. In a statement issued by the company this week, the board was applauded for bringing NWR’s financial reports up to date, conforming to the Public Enterprises and Procurement Act, and also for setting an example in taking a cut in their board fees when the company experienced cash flow constraints due to the Covid pandemic. — The Namibian
