Mutonga and Doëses sworn in as new public service commissioners

Two newly appointed commissioners joined the Public Service Commission (PSC) on Thursday.

Michael Mutonga and Hâbatte Doëses were sworn in at a ceremony in the capital.

The duo fill the commission’s previously vacant spot, as well as the position vacated by commissioner Florence Munyungano, who retired from the PSC after 15 years of service. 

The PSC is an independent body that mainly advises the president and government on matters related to the public service.

“As new commissioners, you will benefit from the foundation that has been established already by those who came before you, but you will also be required to have better skills to deal with the new and more complicated challenges that facing our economy,” prime minister Saara Kuugongelwa-Amadhila told the newly appointed commissioners. 

Mutonga, who is the current chairperson of the Lotteries Board of Namibia, has previously held a number of board positions, and also served as the director of administration at the National Planning Commission (NPC).

He holds a master of arts degree in diplomatic studies from the University of Westminster in England.

Meanwhile, Doëses, who is well experienced in the public administration field, has held positions such as accounting officer, senior government executive, and has been the Erongo Regional Council’s chief regional officer.

Doëses holds a master’s degree in public administration from the University of Botswana’s Cespam, and she has also acquired a bachelor’s degree of technology in public management and a diploma in municipal administration from the Cape Peninsula University of Technology in South Africa.
