The son of Namibia's President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah has dismissed allegations by the Independent Patriots for Change (IPC) party that a N$612-million solar project was awarded due to family connections. The IPC, led by Panduleni Itula, had accused the president of personal involvement in the deal.
According to reports, the president's son, whose name has not been disclosed in the source article, stated that the project was awarded through a transparent and competitive bidding process. He emphasized that his family ties did not influence the decision.
The solar project, valued at N$612 million, is part of Namibia's efforts to expand renewable energy. The IPC's claims have sparked debate, but no evidence of wrongdoing has been presented. The president's office has not commented on the allegations.
