The organisers of the Otjinene Expo are unhappy with the poor presence of exhibitors from state agencies, ministries and parastatals. This despite the fact that the event commonly attracts a crowd of at least 2 000 people. Director of logistics, administration, and marketing for the Otjinene Expo, Mbamunondjamo Kaahangoro says public agencies did not attend the expo with the exception of only a few.
