BIG Unsolved

BIG Unsolved

Beyond doubt, if one pumps an amount of N$100 000 monthly into such an isolated area as Otjivero (Omaheke region) one will get a lot of positive results.

But the people there did not become angels. Thus, negative occurrences would also have been happened. But the Basic Income Grant (BIG) Alliance remains silent and does not open the records for public scrutiny. Why not? That gives reason for doubts.The statement of the BIG-Alliance, that the private sphere of persons in Otjivero may not be touched is absurd, because the private sphere of persons reporting positive results is not protected.What does the BIG-Alliance want to hide? What about criminality? Has it increased or decreased since the introduction of BIG? What about poaching, stock theft, stealing within the area of Otjivero, violence, domestic violence, rape, unwanted pregnancies and rape of teens or young girls? Has the rate of HIV-AIDS decreased or increased? These questions must be answered before one can support BIG.The BIG-Alliance propagates anew the introduction of BIG in the whole Namibia, but act in breach of their duty as proposer to deliver a feasible study why and how this small and isolated place of Otjivero can serve as model for the whole country. Why does the BIG-Alliance not make use of the modern methods of a computer simulation, e. g as a project for students at UNAM?Old political activist
