Following recent changes in government and a reconfiguration of administrative responsibilities, the Ministry of Information and Communication Technology (MICT) has resumed its oversight of Telecom Namibia.
In light of this development, Telecom Namibia’s Board of Directors and Executive Management, along with the Board and Executive team of its subsidiary, Powercom, convened with the Minister of Information and Communication Technology, Hon. Emma Theofelus (MP), on 23 April at the Telecom Namibia Head Office in Windhoek.
This meeting marked the inaugural quarterly gathering as part of the Ministry’s engagement with public enterprises under its purview, which now includes Telecom Namibia. The discussions focused on strategic matters relevant to Telecom Namibia, aligning expectations, and exploring collaborative opportunities to further Namibia’s digital transformation agenda.
Telecom Namibia expressed its enthusiasm for the opportunity to engage with the MICT Minister, emphasizing its commitment to supporting the national vision for a digitally empowered Namibia.
“We believe that close collaboration with the Ministry is essential to maximize our contribution to the nation’s development in areas such as network modernization, the rollout of national 5G services, fibre projects, and improving overall quality of service,” said Stanley Shanapinda, Chief Executive Officer of Telecom Namibia.
As Telecom Namibia embarks on initiatives to enhance its digital infrastructure, the partnership with MICT aims to ensure that the company effectively contributes to Namibia’s technological advancement.
