They wrote back on 24 May 2022 and asked for indulgence to consult with their technical people before reverting back to us\u201d Gooieman said regarding the police station.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the challenges the constituency faces are the vastness of the Berseba Constituency, Frequent absence of Councillor due to regional and national programmes, Inactiveness of some Local Development Committees, Lack of skills\/knowledge of Local Development Committee members, Absence of Development Committee at some Village Counsels, Absence of Local Economic Developments at some Local Authorities were amongst some.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI submit this report for your kind consideration. Let us take hands and take Berseba Constituency to higher levels. Let us serve those who put us in this important position with humanity, diligence and commitment\u201d Gooieman said.<\/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.
