Keetmanshoop municipality employees were dissatisfied after Councillor Easter Isaak failed to provide a firm date regarding their demand on the removal of the acting Chief Executive Officer Desiree Boois.

A group of concerned Keetmanshoop residents protested against the municipality over alleged poor governance, financial mismanagement, nepotism, corruption and poor service delivery.

The Chairperson of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Public Accounts and Economy was called off midway through a public hearing at Keetmanshoop after the municipality's top administrators failed to provide satisfactory responses and supporting documents related to irregularities flagged in the audit reports. <
