In an exclusive interview with Namibian Sun, Haufiku shared his frustration with the ‘mess’ at the Okahao State Hospital and the stink in hospital corridors including the toilet next to his own office.
He also vented his frustration about non-performing contractors who fail to deliver and yet are granted new tenders.
