President Hage Geingob has called upon the Namibian Defence Force to exercise financial prudence by prioritising operations and projects within the constraints of its allocated budget.
He emphasised the importance of achieving more with fewer resources and working intelligently within the military’s limitations.
This was necessary, Geingob said while arguing that even nations with larger economies do not deploy unlimited resources towards their military.
The President made these remarks during a defence force parade in Grootfontein on Tuesday.
“The lack of adequate financial resources should not lead to the situation where quality is traded for quantity, by procuring large numbers of low-quality military equipment and hardware simply because they are affordable,” he said.
