Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>party manifesto pledges to deal with unemployment and housing shortages<\/p>\n

The Popular Democratic Movement (PDM) launched its manifesto last week after a highly criticised elective congress.<\/b><\/p>\n

The event saw the party\u2019s top eight leaders retain their positions.<\/p>\n

Some political analysts criticise the democratic principles the party followed in retaining these positions without injecting new blood into its hierarchy.<\/p>\n

Among the leaders who retained their positions are party president McHenry Venaani, his deputy, Jennifer van den Heever, secretary general Manuel Ngaringombe, his deputy, Linus Thobias, national chairperson Diederick Vries and treasurer Nico Smit.<\/p>\n

BIG COMMITMENTS<\/b><\/p>\n

Henning Melber<\/p>\n

PDM\u2019s 2024 manifesto promises to tackle unemployment, build housing for the poor and low-income earners, expand agriculture and secure a better future for all Namibians.<\/p>\n

The current manifesto is, however, a repeat of most of the party\u2019s promises made in 2019.<\/p>\n

PDM at the time promised to deal with unemployment, to implement the one man-one farm policy to avert land challenges, as well as to improve the country\u2019s standard of education and healthcare.<\/p>\n

Venaani says the party is committed to holding the government accountable by tabling motions that improve the lives of Namibians.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no party in this country that can claim it has done what we have done. No party could have ever done what we have done, because we have been doing our work from day one to now,\u201d he says.<\/b><\/p>\n

Venaani says the PDM is committed to implementing its manifesto, whether in a coalition government or on its own, to move the country forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe goals outlined in our manifesto are clear, achievable and attainable. We have addressed a number of key areas,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

\u2018AMBITIOUS GOAL\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n

Ndumba Kamwanyah<\/p>\n

Political analyst Ndumba Kamwanyah says the PDM\u2019s 2024 manifesto sets ambitious goals.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven Namibia\u2019s current economic challenges, such as slow growth, high unemployment and public debt, realising these goals will be difficult,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Kamwanyah says the agriculture sector\u2019s 10% budget allocation could be attainable if the government prioritises agriculture as an economic driver.<\/p>\n

He says achieving this would require significant policy shifts and the reallocation of resources, possibly at the expense of other sectors.<\/p>\n

\u201cAllocating 10% of the national budget to agriculture is a bold commitment, considering that agriculture is a key sector for employment and food security in Namibia,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Kamwanyah suggests that PDM would need to advocate for reallocations within the budget, potentially cutting spending in less impactful areas.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis would also require substantial advocacy to build public and parliamentary support, as well as strategies to enhance the efficiency and transparency of agricultural spending to ensure funds are used effectively,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

He says the party can hold the government accountable by regularly scrutinising the execution of the national budget and specific sectoral programmes.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn health and housing, PDM should push for regular audits and use parliamentary motions and public forums to spotlight any discrepancies between government promises and actions,\u201d Kamwanyah says.<\/p>\n

He says the challenge lies in the party\u2019s ability to drive these initiatives without substantial government support or control over key resources.<\/p>\n

\u201cComparing the 2019 and 2024 manifestos, there are notable continuities, particularly in the emphasis on agriculture and housing.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 2024 manifesto has a stronger focus on sustainability and climate resilience, which reflects an adaptation to current global and local concerns, he says.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf these shifts are effectively communicated and followed through, they could enhance PDM\u2019s credibility.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kamwanyah said any perceived lack of progress on the promises made in 2019 could weaken PDM\u2019s standing.<\/p>\n

\u201cPDM has tabled several motions, but the effectiveness of these efforts is often hindered by their limited influence in a parliament dominated by the ruling party,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Kamwanyah says the party has shown some influence in local authorities like Opuwo and Gobabis.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is particularly in service delivery improvements and advocating local development projects. However, their impact is often constrained by limited resources and the overarching authority of the central government,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

\u2018UNREALISTIC WISHES\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n

McHenry Venaani<\/p>\n

Political analyst Henning Melber says PDM\u2019s promises seem more like unrealistic wishes than practical plans.<\/p>\n

He says its goals are only achievable if it were in government with decision-making power.<\/p>\n

\u201cInterestingly, hardly ever a party would elaborate in more detail what its role as opposition would be and what the main themes of engagement would be,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Melber says most parties are equal before the elections, with no chance to be voted into government, so this would be the more important part of a manifesto.<\/p>\n

\u201cAllocating 10% of the annual budget to agriculture would mean considerable cuts elsewhere. The question is where? Certainly not education, nor health, which both, along with debt repayment and security are the biggest budget items,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Where will the money come from in times of a serious drought, he asks.<\/p>\n

The PDM will not be the next government, and possibly not even the next official opposition, Melber believes.<\/p>\n

He says the manifesto will then end in the dustbin \u2013 as most do.<\/p>\n

BEATING OWN DRUM<\/b><\/p>\n

Venaani says PDM has a strong, undefeatable record, with the opposition controlling the National Assembly\u2019s agenda more than the government.<\/p>\n

He says the party\u2019s health portfolio has been putting the government on the spot.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe brought the idea that the middlemen in the health sector must come to an end when it comes to the procurement of medicine,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have reached an agreement after fiercely fighting with the government, including blocking the condom standards and other issues in the country,\u201d Venaani says.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, we are seeing dialysis centres in the country because of Winnie Moongo and the role she played in the health portfolio as shadow health minister,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Venaani says the party has tabled motions in the parliament, including one to establish a sex offenders register.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you look at the current reforms that are there, not quite significant, but they can be attributed to our contribution,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Tsintsabis, 40 people have left PDM to join Swapo, because the PDM did not give them water, and yet the PDM is not the government. So, in terms of agriculture, we have done a lot of work,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Venaani says he has visited all the government\u2019s green schemes in the past five years, which has led to the government starting to reform and refinance them.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course our manifesto was not fully implemented, and no party in opposition could ever implement its manifesto. The PDM has played a marvellous role in really raising the issues in our previous manifesto,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
