Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span> <\/b>
\nNamibian courts and several ministries are yet to display the official portrait of President Nangolo Mbumba.<\/p>\n

The Ministry of Information and Communication Technology\u2019s (MICT) spokesperson, Shoki Kandjimi confirmed the situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cNone of the courts have the new presidential portraits; this is because of procurement. However, I have advised them to at least put a ribbon on the late president\u2019s picture. All offices, ministries and agencies were given the directive,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In July, the ministry issued a directive following the death of President Hage Geingob, announcing the availability of President Mbumba\u2019s official portrait for display in public and private institutions.<\/p>\n

Kandjimi urged institutions to maintain the status quo for now.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Cabinet will soon make a public pronouncement on the availability and hanging protocols associated with the presidential portraits,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cUntil such a directive is issued, the portrait of the late president Geingob should remain hanging, wrapped in a black ribbon as a mark of respect,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The MICT\u2019s executive director, Audrin Mathe earlier in the year explained that President Mbumba\u2019s portrait will replace that of the late President Geingob.<\/p>\n

He said the portraits of the founding president, Sam Nujoma, will continue to be displayed alongside Mbumba\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Mathe also noted that the Namibia Press Agency would exclusively produce and distribute the portraits, with framed versions costing N$1 800 and unframed ones priced at N$500.<\/p>\n

Despite the absence of an act of parliament regulating the display of presidential portraits, a cabinet directive exists that specifies the positioning of the founding president\u2019s portrait to the left of the current president in line with some African practices.<\/p>\n
