Bid to stop NHE chief appointment fails

Senior National Housing Enterprise manager Uazuva Kaumbi heard in the Labour Court in Windhoek yesterday that his attempt to halt the appointment of a new chief executive of cer for the parastatal has failed.

In an order read out by Acting Judge Leezhel van Wyk, the court dismissed Kaumbi's application to have the appointment of Okahao Town Council chief executive of cer Gisbertus Mukulu as the new CEO of the NHE put on hold until a dispute that he has lodged at the Office of the Labour Commissioner had been dealt with. Acting Judge Van Wyk did not order Kaumbi to pay the legal costs of his opponents in the matter. Before announcing her order, she said her judgement with reasons for her decision would be made available to the parties in the matter today.
