President William Ruto arrived in Namibia on Saturday, February 24, for the memorial service of the late President Hage Geingob.
Ruto will be joining other leaders, Ambassadors, and High commissioners from different parts of the world, at Independence Stadium in Windhoek where Geingob’s memorial service is set to take place.
Already, hundreds of Namibians have arrived at the stadium to pay their final respects.

He served as Namibia’s first Prime minister, Trade and Industry Minister, and the chair of the body that drafted Namibia's constitution before assuming the Presidency.
