Bank of Namibia governor Johannes !Gawaxab says criticism against President Hage Geingob’s establishment of various economic committees - which many have described as useless and without tangible results - is unfair.
After announcing a Business Rescue Task Force recently, Geingob was described by his detractors as a “man who limps from conference to commission, panel to task force”, in reference to the many initiatives he has established since taking office seven years ago.
