The motions tabled are of great significance and affect the livelihoods of Namibians,\u201d said Dienda.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe would like to firmly state that the PDM MPs perform their required duties as entrusted by the Namibian nation. Our MPs truly represent the interest and issues of the Namibian people in the National Assembly with a great sense of determination.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dienda also added her party MPs tabled a motion on youth unemployment in Namibia, a motion to discuss the state of the sports fraternity in Namibia in terms of facilities, structures, budget and the creation of a culture of a fit and healthy nation.<\/p>\n<p>Other motions tabled by her party MPs Dienda said to include a motion to redress the high levels of multidimensional poverty in the Kavango West, Kavango East, and Kunene, Zambezi and the Ohangwena regions as well as a motion to discuss the impact of the executive on the separation of powers.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, she stated, it was the PDM that introduced a motion to discuss the challenges faced by the country\u2019s public transportation industry during times of emergency.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur MPs have always been fully committed to their duties as elected by the people. We would, therefore, like to assure our members and the Namibian nation at large that we will continue to serve the Namibian nation with absolute commitment and dedication, \u201che said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/namibia\">Namibia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
