Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>The chairperson of the Council of Traditional Leaders Immanuel \/Gaseb has handed over nine applications for recognition to President Hage Geingob for his approval.<\/p>\n

He was speaking to journalists on Tuesday at the State House shortly after he met with the President.<\/p>\n

President Geingob again expressed concern over the mushrooming of traditional authorities in the country, saying his office is inundated with applications seeking recognition.<\/p>\n

\/Gaseb explained that although he only submitted nine application forms for recognition, requests for recognition are many.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe application forms that I handed over to the President are only nine. But that is not all. So, there is a mushrooming of traditional leaders applying for recognition and we are busy assessing their applications,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He informed the President that each year, the council receives applications from traditional communities, which put a burden on the council because most of them do not meet the requirements.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a burden comrade President because the government is spending a lot of money to carry out investigations on the legitimacy of the recognition,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

The applications received by the President were deliberated during the 23rd annual meeting of the Council of Traditional Leaders which forms part of the report also received.<\/p>\n

The applications are of Muhona Katiti, Ongava, and Kai! A Khoe San, Haub-San Hai\/\/Om, Xoms Khoen Hai\/\/Om San community, \/\/Go-AiKhoen, Kokara Hai \/\/Om San, Ondanga and Naro traditional communities.<\/p>\n

The report for last year\u2019s meeting focuses on nine applications for recognition that requires the consideration of the President in terms of section five of the Traditional Authorities Act.<\/p>\n

The chief assured the President that all applications referred to the council were considered based on their merits and demerits for recommendations.<\/p>\n

The Urban and Rural Development Minister Erastus Uutoni assured the President the comprehensive report has no major issues and contained everything discussed during the meeting.<\/p>\n

Geingob applauded the traditional communities for entrusting the leadership to resolve traditional matters culturally and traditionally.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt least traditional matters can be resolved by the council. In a traditional way and culturally. I always emphasise that there must be a way to resolve matters traditionally,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
