Stop Abuse Of Power

THE headline in The Namibian of Tuesday, 29 January 2013, refers to the actions of Moses Shiikwa, a city councillor, who with some others is trying to remain on the land on which they settled illegally.

This is demonstrative of unbridled abuse of power by politicians, in this instance, Councillor Shiikwa. Just because he happens to be a councillor does not mean he can arrogate to himself some special powers and/or status. As people, we are all bound by the law regardless of our position in society. Wherever you go, there are rules to obey and regulations to follow. Now he pathetically claims his signature was forged and that he never resigned. What a bad case of opportunism. Does it actually mean that Councillor Shiikwa, who has been living in Windhoek since the late ‘80s, does not have a residence in the Windhoek municipal area This needs to stop.
