Zambezi Governor, Alufea Sampofu, says a number of capital projects were implemented in the last financial year in the region despite economic difficulties.

-The slow implementation of capital projects is negatively impacting economic growth in the Kavango West Region.

Several Members of Parliament in the National Council have voiced their concern over what they termed delays in the completion of most capital projects in the country.

-Namibia must allocate more than 10% of its annual budget to capital projects if the country is to meet its development needs.

The Minister of Agriculture, Water and Forestry, John Mutorwa has expressed disappointment with what he termed bureaucracy in government, which hinders the completion of capital projects.

Government does not regret its decision to suspend some of the capital projects.

Omaheke Regional Councillor Phillipus Katamelo has raised concerns over the high cost of implementing capital projects, which has led to high investments with little returns.
