DEPUTY Minister of Environment, Forestry and Tourism Heather Sibungo has expressed her dismay after political leaders, including the governor of Oshikoto Penda Ya Ndakolo, failed to turn up at a commemorative event for the World Tourism Day.<\/p>\n
The event was held at the Omuthiya’s sports field under the theme, “Promoting heritage or cultural experience to harness sustainable tourism.”<\/p>\n
Sibungo said that it was disheartening that the leadership of the town has snubbed the event.<\/p>\n
“Tourism is a very important sector which contributes immensely to the economy of the country, yet the leaders are not here,” she said.
\nHeather promised to write a letter of complaint to the office of the governor.<\/p>\n
However, Ya Ndakolo said that he could not attend the event due to the death of a relative.<\/p>\n
He directed Tsumeb Constituency Councillor Gottlieb Ndjendjela to represent him at the event.<\/p>\n
Other regional councillors are believed to be out of the region attending to national matters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
