BRIEFING STATEMENT BY

HIS EXCELLENCY THE PRESIDENT DR. HAGE G. GEINGOB

ON COVID-19 NATIONAL RESPONSE MEASURES

WINDHOEK, March 24, 2020

Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen,

COVID-19 is a global health pandemic. It has reached Namibia and is within our midst. The number of confirmed cases in Namibia are rising and as at today, stand at six (6).

As emphasized in my statement the Health of Namibians is the first priority. It is why on March 17, 2020 Government declared a State of Emergency and responded with urgent and aggressive measures to contain the spread of the novel Corona Virus into our communities.

Today Cabinet met and received briefings on the status of COVID-19 in Namibia and deliberated on the next necessary measures to strengthen detection, testing, quarantine, isolation and contact tracing, to mitigate further spread of this deadly Virus.

COVID-19 is not only a threat to the lives of the Namibian People and the public health system, it also bears negative economic impacts threatening the survival of businesses and consequently jobs and livelihoods. Our key priority is therefore to curb the spread of disease.

The Government fully understands that these are extraordinary measures. They are adopted with the sole purpose of protecting the health, security and safety of the Namibian people. During this difficult period, I call on all Namibians to cooperate with the authorities and to remain calm, in order to ensure that public order is not compromised. Allow the authorities to work unhindered.

New Era: President Hage Geingob at the weekend vowed to honour his social contract with the Namibian people, with a promise to tackle youth unemployment, income disparities and inequalities, and fight against corruption, poverty and hunger.

Taking his oath of office in front of about 500 invited guests and dignitaries at State House, the president said his new administration will continue uplifting more Namibians out of poverty and inequality.

“We have to continue our journey of social cohesion through the policy of national reconciliation. We have to continue our journey of ‘representative government’ buttressed by a sound governance architecture, which upholds the principles of accountability and transparency,” Geingob said.

“We have to continue to build on our gains in the fight for social progression to uplift more Namibians out of poverty and inequality. We have to continue with determination to consolidate a robust macro-economic environment, where the fundamentals for growth and development are in place.”

Geingob said his government will deliver, considering the confidence placed in him and the ruling Swapo Party. “Through democratic elections, you have once again placed your confidence in the Swapo Party and I to deliver on our national development objectives. We have entered into a social contract with you and this is the contract we will honour,” said Geingob while addressing the audience, which included his predecessors Hifikepunye Pohamba and Sam Nujoma.
