Request information and public consultation on southern regional project
The Issue
I am writing to express my concerns and request critical information regarding the proposed Southern Regional project that is being considered by our municipality. Transparency and public consultation are vital in ensuring informed decision-making in matters that affect our community's wellbeing and future.
Firstly, it is imperative that all stakeholders, including shareholders and directors, as well as any draft agreements that the municipality is being asked to sign, are made transparent to the public. This is a fundamental step in maintaining trust and providing the community with a clear picture of the project's trajectory.
Understanding the financial implications is also crucial. A detailed financial assessment, outlining what the municipality stands to gain or lose, is essential. Residents deserve to know the complete financial picture, including detailed assessments and information about the shareholders and their interests in our project.
We believe that a good decision is rooted in good information. As a community, we have a vested interest in our municipality's financial health. Therefore, we respectively request a clear plan that ensures proper and effective community consultation. This includes the proposal's timing, venues, and the formats and languages used during community consultations, ensuring everyone, including residents without internet access, can participate.
Furthermore, we ask for a chance to be heard. We request an opportunity for a small delegation from our group to speak at the upcoming meeting, scheduled by Friday, 16 October 2026, with a written reply by Wednesday, 28 October 2026.
In addition to these requests, we demand KEBU's transparency through regular, short public reports on their income and its utilisation. This should include a plan for settling accounts with NamPower and NamWater, announced at least seven days in advance.
We are open to meeting at any time that suits the municipal authorities to discuss these matters further.
Thank you for considering our request. It's vital to have informed community participation in decisions that affect our livelihoods and future generations. Please sign this petition to ensure transparency and public consultation on the proposed Southern Regional project.
