Popular Democratic Movement (PDM) President McHenry Venaani has temporarily postponed a planned mass demonstration. Venaani has now instead approached the Office of the Ombudsman to investigate the matter of the unoccupied 890 houses. “The flimsy excuses provided by the Prime Minister as her response to me merely reinforces my sentiment that there is no political urgency to curb homelessness in this country,” he says in the letter he wrote to the Ombudsman. Venaani says that he sees no end in the near future for the “acute and ever-increasing problem of homelessness", should it not be addressed with urgency. McHenry Venaani, in an open letter to Prime Minister Saara Kuugongelwa-Amadhila, threatened a nationwide mass demonstration should the Premier fail to allocate the unoccupied mass houses. In her response, Prime Minister Kuugongelwa-Amadhila said that housing delivery is a top priority for Government and informed Venaani that the unallocated houses are not complete and therefore not fit to be lived in.
