Finance Minister Ipumbu Shiimi has been appointed Acting Public Enterprises minister by President Hage Geingob.
He replaces Leon Jooste who resigned last month.
Shiimi’s appointment will allow him to oversee the transition of the Public Enterprises ministry into the Finance Ministry over a period of six months.
The latest development comes after Cabinet last year approved the transformation of the Ministry of Public Enterprises into the Department of Public Enterprises under the Ministry of Finance.
