Africa-Press<\/a> – Namibia<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Former Namibia Students Financial Assistance Fund (NSFAF) chief executive officer Hilya Nghiwete says she has never been involved in plans to set up a branch of the Malaysian Limkokwing University in Namibia.<\/b><\/p>\n

Nghiwete is claimed to have been involved in plans to establish the Malaysian-owned university in Namibia. In a document circulated on social media, it is claimed she had been part of meetings, dating back to 2011, to set up the institution in Namibia.<\/p>\n

According to Nghiwete, the document was deliberately and maliciously created to misinform the public. She told The Namibian the Limkokwing University made a presentation and offered study opportunities to the Namibian government at an African Union summit in Tanzania. Nghiwete did not say when the presentation was made.<\/p>\n

\u201cI never participated in discussions to facilitate the establishment of Limkokwing University in Namibia,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n

She said as part of her duties as CEO of NSFAF, she visited many universities and initiated cooperation to help Namibians study worldwide, \u201cirrespective of whether any one of my relatives benefited or not\u201d. Nghiwete added that she signed a lot of correspondence on behalf of NSFAF.<\/p>\n

The allegations about the Malaysian university come after higher education minister Itah Kandjii-Murangi was accused of favouring the establishment of the university in Namibia and also of having a stake in the institution.<\/p>\n

Affirmative Repositioning movement leader Job Amupanda last week aired an unsigned draft agreement between the government and the university on social media and accused Kandjii-Murangi of masterminding a deal with Limkokwing. Kandjii-Murangi has since denied the allegations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
