Beyond Permits: Unmasking Governance Failures in Namibia’s Fuel Scandal exposes the deep-rooted weaknesses that have plagued Namibia’s governance of State-Owned Enterprises. Through the lens of the explosive fuel scandal, the book reveals how poor oversight, political interference, and lack of accountability cripple institutions meant to serve the public. Drawing from real cases and governance scholarship, it offers an unflinching analysis of systemic failures. More than critique, it is a call to action for leadership reform, institutional resilience, and governance by design—not default.
