National Council Begins Final Session Before Elections

Africa-Press – Namibia. The National Council has begun its final session this week, focusing on key legislative matters before concluding ahead of the November regional council and local authority elections.

This was announced by National Council chairperson Lukas Muha in a statement he read during the first session of the week on Monday.

“We are convened here for the final sitting of the sixth National Council. I am deeply honoured to address this august house at the moment that marks the culmination of our collective journey and subsequently inserting a new historical chapter in our parliamentary democracy,” he said.

He said this session marks the final leg of its term of office from 2020 to 2025.

“Let us make use of these final moments as an opportunity to reflect and consolidate the work that will define the sixth National Council,” he said.

For this week, Muha said the National Council will discuss the appropriation amendment bill.

He said debates on this bill should reflect their collective commitment to prudent financial management and developmental imperatives.

The council would also consider the reports of the standing committees and inter-parliamentary organs.

These reports reflect the diligent oversight, policy scrutiny, and stakeholder engagements that define the work of council during the 2025/26 financial year, Muha said.

“As we peacefully turn our attention to the legislative matters before us, we should do so while thinking of men, women, and children on the globe that are in conflicts due to the wickedness of the world,” he said.
