Speaker of the National Assembly, Peter Katjavivi has declined to comment on Germany's offer to pay an equivalent of N$19 billion as Reparations for the 1904-1908 genocide. He says instead that Prime Minister Saara Kuugongelwa-Amadhila will deal with the issue next week, when the National Assembly resumes. Katjavivi twice declined an invitation to comment on the issue as journalists pressed him for a response at the National Assembly on Wednesday. Former Standard Bank leader, Vetumbuavi Mungunda, has entered the genocide fray through a public statement, branding the proposed agreement as laughable. He says the land dispossessed is worth N$1.5 trillion dollars, excluding the number of people killed, families' structures destroyed, and the victims scattered across Southern Africa. Mungunda says he is surprised that the negotiators even entertained what he has termed a paternalistic insult from the German government.
