President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah has directed staff at State House to hold themselves to high ethical standards, strongly stressing that “there will be no tolerance for corruption”.

Addressing State House staff on Thursday, Nandi-Ndaitwah reiterated the eighth administration’s commitment to zero tolerance for corruption in all its forms.

The Head of State stressed the importance of maintaining public trust through consistent conduct.
“There is no room for favouritism or any undue influence – be it from investors, citizens or external forces in exchange for service delivery. Your duty is to serve citizens, investors and visitors alike timeously. Everything we do must be in their best interest, for the public good and for the social progress and shared prosperity of Namibians,” she stated.
She said staff members should be guided by the principle of ‘One Heart and One Mind’ in their service to the public, urging them to work in unison in executing their respective functions and duties.
Nandi-Ndaitwah further emphasised the need for all staff to align with the shared vision articulated in the Swapo Party manifesto. 

This vision entails “unity in diversity: natural resources’ beneficiation and youth empowerment for sustainable development”. 

This vision forms the basis of Nandi-Ndaitwah’s contract with the Namibian people as the fifth president of Namibia.
“Together, as a collective, let us embrace hard work, ensuring that it translates into tangible change for our citizens over the next five years. The aspirations laid out in the Swapo Party manifesto must be implemented to the letter, as they resonate with the collective goals of fostering social progress and shared prosperity. I invite each of you to buy into this vision of prosperity fully. It is our shared commitment that will drive us toward excellence,” she noted.
The President reiterated to staff that they should embrace the spirit of dedication to service delivery and excellence.

She noted that the work at State House demands teamwork, collaboration and creation of synergies among staff members, offices, directorates and departments to get things done on time and within budget.
