Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>OMUTHIYA mayor, Johannes Ndeutepo on Tuesday allegedly refused to recuse himself from a council meeting discussing a motion of no confidence against him.<\/p>\n

OMUTHIYA mayor, Johannes Ndeutepo on Tuesday allegedly refused to recuse himself from a council meeting discussing a motion of no confidence against him.<\/p>\n

The motion was instituted by deputy mayor Petrina Shiindi, who represents the Independent Patriots for Change (IPC) at Omuthiya.<\/p>\n

Ndeutepo yesterday said he is tired of IPC councillors, adding \u201cthey better go and run a chicken farm\u201d.<\/p>\n

Shiindi two months ago unsuccessfully passed a motion of no confidence in the council’s management committee.<\/p>\n

She says a previous motion has improved the management committee’s performance.<\/p>\n

In her recent motion, the deputy mayor said the mayor procures materials without the council’s approval.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn 15 July 2022, the council received a backhoe loader, purchased by the council in the amount of N$4,3 million, which was not budgeted for,\u201d Shiindi said.<\/p>\n

She said the council last year budgeted to buy a tipper, skipper, bulldozer and water tank.<\/p>\n

However, none of these machines were purchased.<\/p>\n

She said Ndeutepo makes decisions concerning the finances of council without consulting the management committee.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe mayor made an uneconomical decision to purchase machines, which are unbudgeted for and without the knowledge of the council,\u201d Shiindi said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Omuthiya Town Council is being governed by one man, Mr Ndeutepo,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Council meetings are held according to the availability of the mayor, Shiindi added.<\/p>\n

She said additionally, the Omuthiya Town Council spends a lot on out-of-town allowances.<\/p>\n

On Monday, however, the council discussed the motion of no confidence in the mayor, which Ndeutepo allegedly chaired himself.<\/p>\n

\u201cI asked him where it is stated that a person can chair a motion while they are the subject of a motion. He then decided to choose a member of the management committee to chair,\u201d Shiindi said.<\/p>\n

MOTION DISMISSED<\/p>\n

However, Ndeutepo then changed his mind, chaired the meeting, and dismissed the motion.<\/p>\n

Contacted for a comment this week, Ndeutepo said the motion could not be discussed because it was not seconded by any councillor.<\/p>\n

He said motions must either be opposed or unopposed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it is opposed, the chairperson of the meeting will then ask for a secondment of the motion. If unopposed, it means the motion is carried out without any discussion,\u201d Ndeutepo said.<\/p>\n

He said he is the chairperson of the council and has to fulfil the function of chairperson.<\/p>\n

According to him the Local Authorities Act does not prohibit him from chairing such a meeting.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was not absent at the meeting. No one can perform my duties while I am there,\u201d Ndeutepo said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI cannot have a conflict of interest in a motion of no confidence at all. It is not to my benefit nor a family member of mine. I informed them it is a legal thing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Ndeutepo said mayors are elected because people have confidence in them.<\/p>\n

The mayor said IPC councillors have a tendency of leaving council meetings.<\/p>\n

He accused IPC councillors of creating a hullabaloo in the media.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a sign of mediocrity. You are talking about S&Ts, while we are paid N$600 per day. Saying we buy unbudgeted things is rubbish,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
