The three-day 'Unmatched Youth Conference' concluded today at Nkurenkuru in the Kavango West Region.

The Minister of Works and Transport, John Mutorwa, says public policy documents are not confidential and should be made available to the public.

Mutorwa was speaking at Nkurenkuru when he handed over the ministry's maintenance functions to the Kavango West Regional Council.

Residents of the Kavango West Region are now satisfied with NORED's response in addressing the constant power outages in the region.

The town's residents raised concerns about continuous power cuts at a stakeholders' meeting at Nkurenkuru last week.

The Ministry of Health and Social Services will build new hospitals and upgrade others in the country.

Vice-President Nangolo Mbumba has reiterated government's commitment to grow the textile sector as approved by Cabinet.

Mbumba says the sector has the potential to create thousands of jobs, especially for women and youth.

All office-bearers at the Nkurenkuru Town Council have been re-elected.

Mayor Marcus Muti was re-elected for the second term, deputized by Fani Kaundu.

Muti says Nkurenkuru will continue to implement socio-economic development programs aimed at enhancing the well-being of its residents.

Kavango West Regional Police Commander Julia Sakuwa-Neo says road crashes involving pedestrians are a serious concern in the region.

Commissioner Sakuwa-Neo is thus calling on all road users to be vigilant, especially over the festive season.
