When we experienced a crisis in the education sector a crisis-control brain-storming conference was organised which resulted in the best deal ever for the Namibian child, nam Food For Thought * BOURGEOISIE has become a daily occupation if not the order of the day of the upper-echelons, President Hifikepunye Pohamba we urge you to revisit this unpatriotic geocentricism among your staff and the well-connected, for everybody to r Bouquets And Brickbats * COMMISSIONER of Prisons, can you please explain the strategies you use to appoint officers to certain positions? It is my observation that you are being fed with wrong information then you just promote individuals without making p SMS Of The Day * I THINK Paulus ‘The Rock’ Ambunda lost his belt because of this promoter and trainer. How can a world champion still be training at the Katutura Youth Complex where there is not enough equipment. I think they must follow the example of Ha Food For Thought * NAMIBIA Dairies are unable to match low prices of imported milk and this ultimately means the consumer will have to pay more for local milk. Look at the prices of the local chicken. All these profits are going in the pockets of a few in Bouquets And Brickbats * I AM pleased to hear that Cabinet has responded positively to the proposal of Namibia Dairies to support the industry. The restrictions which support the industry by reducing competition to ensure the survival of the industry is a SMS Of The Day * CEO’s golden handshakes. Somewhere on our statute books there must be a provision that if a board of directors suspends/dismisses a CEO without due regard to legal provision (substantive/procedural law) such board must carry the costs for Food For Thought * JACKY Asheeke was so right with her last column- why are the fathers of the dead children not being prosecuted?

In this cont Bouquets And Brickbats * ALEXACTUS Kaure, your column in Friday’s newspaper opened my eyes. One hardly finds impartial case study analysers in Namibia.

Errant driver fined over use of car
Very senseless!
Big cases out there, no credit for this one. - joseph
I don’t understand some of these prosecutors…they concentrate on petty issues while the big ones are hanging in the air. Can you guys please concentrate on the ‘faceless people who took out the N$650 million from GIPF as well as to prosecute the people who have done such a huge damage to Emilia Angala’s gwaKondo garden!! - KAMAUE
Please acc do you think for revealing minor corruption we should regard as you are working harder or do you have a policy not to rush to the BIG fish or do you think the community have forget the disappearing of million of dollar between the ministry of transport and the transnamib, by the way when can we her more since it was in the newspaper from that day you are quitter. - Mr. Try
Thanks al Mght God - Jerry Jason Jay-Jay N
good work from acc,hope he is swapo member - petra
The Anti-Corruption committee did a great job there and Kavari expected the guilt but why is the same Anti-Corruption committee not acting on some cases,we are still waiting on the results..some cases are taking 5-10 years to finalize,why? Lets not take advantage of some situations to buy people good view,solve the big problems first and do you want to tell me that he is the only one in this country that is doing that?...please lets differentiate between majority and minority cases! - Immanuel Otsub
It is interesting that this case was so quickly finalized. Corruption is a crime when caught, otherwise it will just be a "gentle men's agreement"! Why can the court not also be so fast to finalize cases with the BIG FISHES? or is the "gentle men's agreement" also for them-(The Courts)? Good work for this proper example of minor corruption issues in this regard. What about those GRN cars at schools. shopping centres, churches, shebeens? be consistent with that "minor issues" Have a wonderful corruption-free day without any "gentle men"s agreement! - Raymond
It will be nice if A-C Act can be used to prosecute all corrupt officials regardless of their position but it is a pity, only the lower people are affected by this selective and dubiously applied law. So much for equality and impartiality! What a joke. Further, the people who get paid more with all the benefits can use gov vehicles whenever they feel like it at our expenses...an absurdity of logic? - T Ndunge
It will be very gud if tht Act can be put in use the Kunene Region also as officials feels its their vehicles and drive/transport and misuse GRN vehicles here
- marvelous
Eish, i think he is not a Swapo member. - Edward
