Africa-Press<\/a> – Namibia<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>KEETMANSHOOP – Suspended \/\/Kharas chief regional officer Beatus Kasete said although he was informed that he\u2019ll be charged within 30 days after being suspended on 25 June 2021, he is still awaiting the charges.<\/p>\n

\u201cUp to now, the \/\/Kharas regional council\u2019s management committee chairperson Joseph Isaacks has not communicated to me in this regard. But as previously stated, I will abide by council\u2019s decision, and regard myself as being relieved from my official duties,\u201d he observed. Kasete said he will remain at home, awaiting further communication from council.<\/p>\n

When contacted for comment, Isaacks concurred that the CRO has not yet been charged. \u201cCouncil will meet this coming Friday, and discuss the way forward on the issue,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Benedictus Diergaardt, director for finance, human resources and administration, said he will continue acting as CRO until the incumbent\u2019s issues have been resolved.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe day-to-day affairs at the council are still running smoothly as it would not have been fair to let all the good work the suspended CRO started and implemented go down the drain,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

In another development, the Keetmanshoop municipality\u2019s chief executive officer (CEO) Desmond Basson was reinstated on 3 August 2021 after having been put on special leave since 3 May 2021, pending investigations.<\/p>\n

He allegedly signed off on a contract for the provision of tax reconciliation services by a private company, which should have been signed off by the council\u2019s management committee chairperson instead. Public relations officer Dawn Kruger informed this publication that council did not yet finalise investigations against the CEO.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
