Parliament

“Parliament has adjourned for its mid-year recess without passing any of the seven government bills before the National Assembly.”

“The National Assembly exists partly to scrutinise executive decisions, particularly where appointments to constitutional bodies are concerned.”

“Parliament is not expected to rubber-stamp appointments. Its role is to interrogate, question and satisfy itself that nominations comply with both the letter and the spirit of the law.”

“Parliament should take the opportunity to review the Regional Councils Act alongside Namibia's broader decentralisation framework.”

“To Parliament: you were elected to dismantle the colonial and apartheid habits and laws of exclusion, exploitation, and divide-and-rule upon which public institutions were founded, not only to represent the new faces of colonialism and apartheid rule.”

“She said Namibia's engagement with Germany stems from a unanimous motion adopted by Parliament in 2006 on genocide, apology and reparations, which directed the government to pursue the matter with Berlin.”

“The proposed law is currently before Parliament.”

“The Speaker added that Parliament, as a representative institution, would continue to engage on how such initiatives are supported within national development and budgeting frameworks.”

“He claimed the association has repeatedly engaged authorities, including regional governors, police leadership and Parliament, but little has changed on the ground.”

“The 48 hours to "hell on the highway" for an untold number of travellers, commuters and pedestrians created by the hastily and even secretly erected B1 speed reducers since last week is creating more problems than it was supposed to solve and is leading to public disgust that even took a turn in Parliament.”
