National Council MPs are advocating for the implementation of relief measures and for assurance that transport operators will not be charged exorbitant fines.

This proposition stems from the consideration of the Vehicle Mass Bill, wherein proposals are made to explore the legalisation of overloading offences for transport operators.

The rationale behind the proposal is rooted in the acute financial challenges facing transport operators.
Swapo Party's Gerhard Shiimi said transport operators need support through relief measures during these hard economic times when fuel prices have skyrocketed.

Landless People's Movement's Harald Kambrude called for the reconsideration of the current approach to charging transport operators.

Instead of imposing one-time charges, Kambrude proposes a more sustainable solution by instituting installment payments for offenders.
