In response to the allegations by opposition political parties, the Swapo party chief whip rejected the portrayal of the Swapo party as neglecting parliamentary oversight while prioritising its own agenda. 

Alpheus !Naruseb encourages opposition parties to engage Parliament through established channels with maturity and responsibility.

!Naruseb, says the government has consistently responded to the overwhelming majority of them, and where delays have occurred, they are frequently the direct result of the repetitive nature of opposition submissions. 

With many duplicating questions or seeking information already available through other channels. 

This, the chief whip noted, is not a failure of political will but a predictable consequence of a tactic designed to slow down the legislative programme.

The party, he says, will continue to focus on delivering results for all Namibians rather than being distracted by political theatre. 

The Office of the National Assembly's Speaker had not responded to questions sent by NBC News at the time of airing.
