Our Star of the Week is the Minister of Higher Education Minister Dr Itah Kandjii- Murangi for her swift intervention that saved the jobs of 44 workers who were retrenched at the Namibian Institute of Mining and Technology (NIMT).
Kandjii- Murangi ordered NIMT to reinstate with immediate effect, about 44 employees that the institution recently retrenched.
The minister’s timely intervention came a week after about 44 of NIMT’s 275 employees were retrenched, allegedly due to financial difficulties the revered technical institution is enduring.
When Kandjii- Murangi learned of the retrenchments last week, she went to address the NIMT management at Arandis campus as well as the northern campus to sort out the issue which was widely reported on in the media.
