The Republican Party's Henk Mudge has called on the Head of State to disclose the details of the agreement reached at the UN Summit, following President Nangolo Mbumba's signing of the UN Pact for the Future. 

Mudge argues that the decision to sign the pact should not have been made by the President or the Cabinet alone but should have been presented to the public and Parliament for ratification.

The Pact for the Future was signed by a host of heads of state at a special summit in New York last week.

It covers a broad range of issues, including peace and security, sustainable development, climate change, digital cooperation, human rights, youth, and future generations.

Mudge raised concerns about the Pact, claiming that its provisions establish a highly centralised, digital power structure.

According to Mudge, the pact calls for the implementation of biometric digital IDs for all individuals, effectively marking them as global citizens. 

He claimed that this system could suppress dissenting voices, labelling any opposing opinions as either misinformation or disinformation. 

He also claimed that enforcement of these rules will be governed by artificial intelligence with fact-checking mechanisms designed to punish those spreading unapproved information.

"This is the future, according to the world's self-appointed overlords at the UN. These are unelected bureaucrats making decisions about our country and our sovereignty. The pact even makes provision for a declaration by the UN whether one exists or not, and they can do it without our consent. We have been talking for a long time about a One World Order, a One World Government, and a One World Religion, and that is exactly what the globalists are trying to achieve."

The Pact also aims to accelerate the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals, highlighting the agreement at the UN to date on reforming international financial systems. 

Speaker of the National Assembly, Professor Peter Katjavivi, however, refuted Mudge's claims, explaining that the Pact underscores a continuity of policies aimed at advancing the nation's sustainable development goals, which Parliament is already engaged with. 

He said the Pact only reinforces Namibia's ongoing commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals, aligning with existing frameworks rather than signalling a significant policy shift.

As a result, Katjavivi argued that seeking approval from the National Assembly was not necessary in this instance.
