Therefore, business investment opportunities should be given to them before taking them outside the country.<\/p>\n<p>He gave an example of the Asparagus project, where a foreign investor operates the scheme at the Etunda irrigation project. \u201cNamibians are always up in arms, feeling exploited, lowly paid, while products are produced abroad, with no social responsibilities, and many more negative factors,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>He reiterated that they are not against foreigners, but they want them to specialise in what Namibians cannot do. Naloba also applauded President Hage Geingob and his leadership for their tireless efforts dedicated to marketing and promoting the country to attract foreign direct investments for the well-being of Namibians. vkaapanda@nepc.com.na<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/namibia\">Namibia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
