He described Katjavivi as a dedicated proponent of regional integration and the transformation of the SADC-PF into a regional parliament.<\/p>\n<p>In his valedictory remarks, Katjavivi thanked the SADC-PF, urging members of parliament to continue contributing to the forum to impact the lives of ordinary citizens. \u201cIt has been an interesting and very educative journey of close to 10 years as part of this dynamic organisation, the SADC-PF. We will meet in Livingstone, Zambia, where I will formally bid farewell to you all. It has been a privilege to learn from each other and to contribute to our collective efforts. Let\u2019s always remember the impact of our efforts on the lives of the people we serve,\u201d noted the Speaker.<\/p>\n<p>The current IPU Assembly will be his last in his capacity as Speaker. He is a long-serving Speaker of the National Assembly and SADC-PF\u2019s Executive Committee. He has played a pivotal role in the SADC-PF, being the host Speaker, and has continued to make contributions aimed at transforming the SADC-PF into a regional parliament. Professor Katjavivi is also the vice president of the IPU task force on the Russia-Ukraine conflict. He will be retiring in March<\/p>\n<p>2025.<\/p>\n<p>*George Sanzila works for the National Assembly in the Division: Research, Information, Publications and Editorial Services.<\/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.
