Lot is currently a senior information officer and regional head at the Ministry of Information and Communication Technology's Kunene Regional Office. He has spearheaded the establishment of rural information and communication technology (ICT) centers in his region, which serve as access points for ICT services such as the internet, photocopying, printing, lamination, typing, videography, and photography, as well as sound service provision.
