Let us ensure that Namibia remains in safe hands under a leader we trust \u2013 a leader who is mature, and a leader who has a respected pedigree locally, regionally, continentally and internationally,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He highlighted that under the leadership of astute, tried and tested individuals, supported by committed cadres, Swapo has built a truly united Namibian house, where no Namibian feels left out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs the Swapo-led government, we remain committed to improving the living standards of the citizens of the Kavango West region by focusing on infrastructure, education, healthcare and economic opportunities. Despite being a young region, it has made significant progress,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>He acknowledged the need for access to clean water in rural areas.<\/p>\n<p>He remarked that the government recognises access to safe drinking water as a basic human right, and an absolute necessity for every Namibian citizen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo minimise human-animal conflict, we have drilled 27 new boreholes across all constituencies, and modernised two traditional wells in the Mpungu constituency,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>He said in order to promote sports and unity in Kavango West, and empower the youth, the construction of a soccer field, three multi-purpose courts, and other facilities is underway.<\/p>\n<p>Mbumba urged citizens to rise early on election day to cast their votes.<\/p>\n<p>He emphasised that their votes will enable the Swapo Party to continue delivering much-needed development in Mupini and the wider Kavango regions.<\/p>\n<p>Also speaking at the event, Swapo coordinator for the Kavango West region Elina Diparo assured the President that the region stands firmly behind the party\u2019s presidential candidate, Nandi-Ndaitwah.<\/p>\n<p>She said they will not be easily swayed by opposition parties.<\/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.
