The President-elect Hage Geingob has named Finance Minister Saara Kuugongelwa-Amadhila as the country's prime minister.
Amadhila decided to abandon her ambitions of becoming a medical doctor, hoping to become a central bank governor one day, but little did she know what life had in store for her, nor did she know that she would one day be at the helm of government.
President-elect Hage Geingob's decision to announce Kuugongelwa-Amadhila as the next Prime Minister means she will add one more 'first' to her list of records and accomplishments and distinguished career in government.
She became the first woman Director General of the National Planning Commission and the youngest at the age of 27. She was also the first female finance minister; the first to record a surplus in the 2006/7 financial year; the longest-serving finance minister so far and soon to become Namibia's first female Prime Minister.
