The new NaCC Board comprises of Andreas Penda Ithindi as Chairperson and Isabella Tjatjara as Deputy Chairperson; and Siegfried Josua Neumann, Irene SimeonKurtz and Benjamin Biwa as members. The Board will serve for the period of three (3) years from 1 August 2023 to 31 July 2026.
Welcoming the new board at the event, Iipumbu urged the new board of directors to invest heavily in cultivating strong relationships with its stakeholders. She further tasked the board to lead the institutions to which they have been assigned in line with the enabling legislations, and to observe key sections within the Public Enterprise and Governance Act, especially those that deal with issues of compliance.
“Some of the compliance matters that I expect to be fully adhered to is the signing of Performance Agreements by the Board of Directors with the line Minister, developing and submitting an integrated strategic business plan, timely submission of annual reports to the line Ministry and the compilation and submission of financial reports to mention but a few,” the Minister stated.
