Sylvia Kahengombe of Kahengombe Law Chambers has delivered a demand letter to the Mayor of the City of Windhoek, on behalf of four IPC Council members, to stop the planned Special Meeting of the council scheduled for Friday. The Special Council Meeting is to consider a vote of no confidence in the City’s Management Committee. Councillor of the Affirmative Repositioning movement, Ilse Keister, tabled a motion of no confidence against the IPC-dominated management committee. Kahengombe in her letter notes that Keister is not allowed under the Local Authorities Act to table such a motion against the management committee as a whole. “The Act does not provide for the lumping of persons together and only allows for the introduction of a motion against individual members of the management committee” She further informs the Windhoek mayor Sade Gawa!nas that Keister's motion is misguided. The IPC members' legal representative also charged that Gawa!nas has called for the Special Council Meeting under less than the required 72 hours, and has labelled the planned meeting as ‘unlawful’. “Our clients are denied an opportunity to understand exactly what specific allegations of misconduct and incompetence are directed against each one of them as they have been lumped together which, as we have indicated, is contrary to the Act and are thus unable to meaningfully make representation to the council”. Approached for comment, City spokesperson Harold Akwenye promised to revert once he has studied the letter.
