Moses Ndjarakana, acting Secretary for the National Assembly, told The Namibian earlier this month that the assets register which was to be compiled as part of parliament's effort to enhance accountability and transparency among Namibian politicians was unclear to many MPs. Ndjarakana said there was a need to resensitise the MPs on the code of conduct. He said the lawmakers appeared not to understand questions on the form given to them by the Office of the Speaker. He, however, made it clear there had been no indication that MPs were reluctant to expose their interests to public scrutiny. We must, therefore, desist from engaging in activities that may result in conflict of interest between professional status and pri VAT e interest.
Corruption is a curse and an attack on the functions of any civilised society.
He said corruption swallowed resources needed for development and remained an affront to people who brought high ethical standards to their work.
