Namibian officials have wings clipped

-

Namibian President Hage Geingob has banned all foreign travel by public officials until at least the end of the month in a bid to rein in government expenditur­e, the presidency said this week.

The government is facing a severe cash crunch that has resulted in budget cuts across ministries as the economy struggles to recover from contractio­ns in the constructi­on, uranium and diamond industries.
