Serving Kavango East has been humbling, fulfilling – Wakudumo

Former Kavango East governor Bonny Wakudumo says his five years of serving the region has been both humbling and fulfilling.

He said this while welcoming the region’s new governor, Julius Hambyuka, at Rundu on Monday.

“I leave office with a heart full of gratitude, knowing I have served to the best of my ability. I extend my deepest appreciation to the people of Kavango East for their trust, cooperation, and support.

“It is through this collective spirit that we have made progress, and I am confident that the foundation we have built will continue to propel the region forward,” he said.

Wakudumo said serving as governor has been one of the greatest honours, and a journey filled with challenges, and invaluable lessons.

“When I assumed office, I made a commitment to serve with diligence, integrity, and dedication, always prioritising the development and well-being of our region and its people,” he said.

Throughout his tenure, Wakudumo said he had the privilege of working closely with various stakeholders.

Together, they strived to address critical issues such as infrastructure development, youth empowerment, economic growth, and social welfare.

There were moments of immense pride, he said.
