Mr. Smit: That in the light of what must be considered a national disaster, considering the fact that under the previous curriculum (NSSCO/H) between 25 000 and 28 000 learners had a chance to obtain a tertiary qualification, whereas now a mere 7 000 learners out of a total of some 21 000 have the chance to return to the classroom, this House should urgently discuss the way forward for our children and in particular what is to become of the 20 000 odd who may not wish to or cannot afford to pursue their training at a VTC.
That this Motion be referred to the relevant Parliamentary Standing Committee for further scrutiny and report back ________________________________ TUESDAY, 23 FEBRUARY 2021 NOTICES OF MOTIONS I. Mr. Tjeundo: That this Assembly – Discusses the plight of the people of Kombat.

II.

Deputy Minister of Health and Social Services: That this Assembly – Discusses representation and participation of women in politics in Namibia; whether women are equally represented as their menfolk and if not, for this House to come up and adopt a solution to it.

III.

Ms. Moongo: That this Assembly – Discusses the need for the creation of a Sex Offenders Register.

There has of late been a number of violent rape incidents perpetuated against women and children across the country.
In most cases, these incidents take place within the homes and institutions deemed to be safe.

It is thus imperative that we create a comprehensive Sex Offenders Register to identify potential would-be offenders and protect our women.

IV.

Mr. Kauandenge: That this House – Discusses the conditions of Local Authorities in Namibia.

It is a given fact that Local Authorities are the backbone of our country when it comes to service delivery.
This is the entry point where our people can tap on all basic services, hence there is need to discuss the following: Current conditions of our Local Authorities and why many of them fail to execute their mandates.

And whether sufficient resources are availed by Central Government to empower them.
V. Ms. Dienda Despite the fact that equal treatment is one of the fundamental principles of our democracy, it seems that our own 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, Regional and Local Authority Councilors as well as civil servants from freely participating as candidates in the National Assembly elections.
That this House debates Article 47 (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.

That this Motion be referred to the relevant Parliamentary Standing Committee for further scrutiny and report back ________________________________ WEDNESDAY, 24 FEBRUARY 2021 ORDERS OF THE DAY I. II.
