The Forum for German-speaking Namibians says the late President Hage Geingob must be credited for his efforts to restore investor confidence.

The Forum, in a message of condolences, says President Geingob was personally responsible for international multinational companies in the green hydrogen and oil and gas sectors in Namibia.

It also says the late President preferred to be President for all and requested all Namibians to take up their rightful places in the Namibian House.

The deployment of people in job positions based on other factors than merit is one of the factors hampering the process of sustainable development. 

This was stated by the Chairperson of the Forum for German-Speaking Namibians, Harald Hecht, at an engagement with the Swapo Party's Vice President, Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah. The engagement was centered around issues of social and economic development challenges such as corruption, unemployment, and mismanagement of resources.
