N$116 million Oshakati presidential guest house expansion draws criticism

The Namibian reports this morning that the Office of the President has awarded a tender to the Nexus Group to expand the presidential guest house in Oshakati, a project budgeted at nearly N$116 million. According to development budget documents, the money will fund a new state protocol support complex under a national security programme, with work scheduled to run until April 2028. Critics are questioning the use of borrowed funds for a facility that was already extended six years ago, especially while the country deals with high unemployment, rising fuel prices, and a foot-and-mouth disease outbreak. Nexus Group quantity surveyor Stefan Hauptfleisch confirmed the contract timeline to The Namibian, though he declined to discuss the exact financial value of the deal.
