The Omusati Regional Governor Immanuel Shikongo on Tuesday held a closed-door engagement meeting with Omusati Regional Veterans of the Liberation Struggle at the Governor's Office.

The discussions were initiated by seven war veterans and later expanded to include more veterans from across the region.

The Independent Patriots for Change has cautioned against a proposal by Deputy Minister of Defence and Veterans Affairs Charles Mubita to raise monthly allowances for liberation struggle veterans from two thousand two hundred dollars to five thousand, calling for fiscal responsibility and equity.
