Ms. Dienda: Despite the fact that equal treatment is one of the fundamental principles of our democracy, it seems that our Constitution is directly and indirectly discriminating against certain members of society.

In particular, the Namibian Constitution impedes the rights of Members of the National Council, Region and Local Authority Councilors as well as civil servants from freely participating as candidates in the National Assembly elections.
That this House debates Article (1) (e) (f) and (2) (b) of the Namibian Constitution in as far as it violates the rights of the above-mentioned members of the Namibian society from freely participating in the National Assembly elections.
