"I'm not aware that that project is going to leave the people of Kavango out because that is not part of government policy. The projects that have been implemented so far have always been off-take for the local communities.

And then if a decision is made that this is an advantage for the local community, then we can question that decision. But as for now, it's a consultation process."

Following the adjustment, the new fuel prices in Walvis Bay will be petrol 95 at N$22.48 per litre, diesel 50ppm at N$24.26 per litre, and diesel 10ppm at N$24.36 per litre.
The ministry noted that fuel prices in all other towns across the country will be adjusted accordingly to account for transportation and distribution costs.
The ministry attributed the fuel price reductions to declining international oil prices, easing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, lower shipping costs and weaker global oil demand, all of which contributed to lower international petroleum product prices during the review period.
