V. Dr. Iijambo: That this Assembly – Discusses and deliberate on the on the crucial issue of Tribalism, Ethnic and Nepotistic tendencies.
Considering the prolonged systematic division and separation of Namibians according to their ethnic orientation, escalation of the unprecedented tribalism, nepotism and continuous stratification of society, remains inevitable.

This important Motion therefore aim at and request the august House to objectively deliberate on the excruciatingly crucial issue of rampant tribalistic, ethnic and nepotistic tendencies in this fragile Republic of Namibia.

VI.
Mr. Murorua: That this Assembly – Discusses and considers the practical ways and means of putting Local Authorities in a self- sustaining situation with regard to the general practice of NamWater where the revenue stream of water supply, in many Local Authorities which are in arrears with their payments to NamWater are taken over by NamWater, without renovating the bulk water reticulation network of such Local Authorities, and thus creating a situation where such Local Authorities remain indefinitely indebted.

IX.

Mr. Kauandenge: That this Assembly discusses the following – Article 16 of the Namibian Constitution protects private properties, which includes movable and immovable properties.
In light of the above-mentioned, I want this House to discuss whether this provisions of the Constitution have been successful in addressing the issue of land restitution to the previously disadvantaged Namibians or not over a period of 31 years since our independence Is it practical to continue on this path of willing buyer, willing seller concept or not?

Has this policy served our people well over the period since independence or not?
Without self-contradiction, I am of the opinion that we have led our people down in this regard and that we have betrayed them as well when our founding fathers agreed on the policy of the protection of private properties including land.

My departure point is not to amend the Constitution but rather to discuss this issue holistically, to pinpoint the shortcomings and to propose remedial actions going forward in order to address the issue of access to land to those majority black Namibians who need land.
________________________________ WEDNESDAY, 16 JUNE 2021 NOTICES OF MOTIONS I. Ms. Mootu: Shall move a Motion on the “Integrated Youth Development Strategy” in this august House with an expressed aim to harness political, economic, social, technological, environmental and legal instruments that exist to eradicate the daily struggles that Namibian youth are faced with.
The youth are the largest segment of the population that are faced, with triple challenges of poverty, inequality and unemployment, to which 31 years of state responses to this conundrum have been inadequate, and misplaced.

Thus, the youth of Namibia are intentionally exposed to poverty and unemployment worse than ever before.

II.

Mr. Iipumbu: That this Assembly – Discusses the movement and border lines of Namibia in Zambezi Region.
Namibia being politically independent, many of its citizens are not living freely neither moving freely along the Zambezi Borders.

Our people are now and continued to be frightened by the Botswana Authority.

We need to give our stand and as Parliament, we need to come up with proper resolutions that can be shared between the two governments, Namibia and Botswana.

Namibia and Botswana Borders are known but our people continues to be terrified residing on their liberal soil.
Namibians need to enjoy the political freedom without any fear, their movements within Namibia particularly the places that are near the borders in Zambezi.

As leaders of the country, we may need to practically involve with what is happening in Zambezi Region.

It’s our brothers, it’s our sisters and grannies, that we are not standing up for them.

Let’s discuss the situation and hear from the horse’s mouth rather than getting the hearsay.
I also move that this Motion be referred to the relevant Standing Committee.

________________________________ WEDNESDAY, 23 JUNE 2021 NOTICE OF A MOTION Ms. Mootu: That this Assembly – Discusses on investment opportunities, possibilities and viabilities in the context of Neckartal Dam in the Berseba Constituency, //Kharas Region.
The Neckartal Dam was filled to its capacity during this year’s rainy season which presents an opportunity for both the central government and regional government to jointly plan for the attraction of investment for the immediate surrounding of the dam, as well as seize the opportunities in tourism, agriculture, leisure and hospitality that exist.

This requires an open minded policy approach to maximize opportunities for both local communities and the country at large.
Finally, that this House considers calling for an investment conference in this regard.
