Several MPs in the National Assembly have resisted its current format, the N$1 million motion tabled by Swapo MP Elifa Dingara.

Dingara tabled a motion proposing that every Namibian be given a million dollars to keep poverty at bay.

Some lawmakers called the motion unrealistic.

In his motivation, Dingara explained that the money does not need to come from the state's purse but from the country's abundant natural resources.

While MPs acknowledged the need to improve the livelihood of the people and fight poverty, they questioned the sustainability of the motion.

They did not, however, entirely thumb it down but requested Dingara to rephrase it to make it more achievable and realistic.
