Opposition MPs in the National Assembly have expressed mixed feelings on the money allocated to various government ministries during a debate on the 2023–2024 budget.

While welcoming the N$100 increment in social grants, especially for pension and disability, opposition MPs believe the allocated money is not enough, considering the skyrocketing cost of living.

Isaacks further rejected the N$10 million budgeted for agricultural projects at the Nekertal Dam, saying this is insufficient.
