Namibia and Zambia were offered stakes in the Lobito Refinery by Angola but the Namibian government has not made it public that they are interested or that they will buy a stake.
However, it keeps chasing those going to Ngungula at Oshikango for fuel.
The Ministry of Mines under Tate Alweendo made various visits to Angola but the Namibian public received no response from the Cabinet.
And now under the new leadership, conversations are emerging that the government wants to partner up with Botswana to build a refinery.
Now the public and the market are confused, the Namibian government/Cabinet cannot just make up its mind on anything strategic and implement it.
Entrepreneurs, investors, and the rest of the economic participants rely on direction and the government leaders are supposed to provide that direction.
However, our Cabinet has a tendency of indecisiveness and keeps the public in the dark, creating a cloud of uncertainty.
