Political Perspective by
IT SPEAKS to the priorities of our Government to learn that Cabinet’s current preoccupation seems to be the lucrative pay packages of parastatal chiefs rather than the predicament that hundreds of thousands of Namibians find themselves in poverty as a result of rampant unemployment and adverse socio-economic conditions.

WOULD it help, I wonder, to appeal to the conscience of the nation, and to remind, in particular the so-called veterans of the struggle, that they did what they did for the freedom of Namibia on a voluntary basis at the time and without expectation of a reward? I’ve warned before and I do so again, that the ‘entitlement’ issue, namely giving payback to all and sundry for what they did to advance the cause of independence, will bankrupt us eventually.
