Over 3,000 people in the Musese Constituency, Kavango West Region, are without national documents, and the community is pleading for help.

Lack of documentation, they say, deprives them and their children of government services.

During the regional council community meeting at Musese Constituency, Councillor Kosmos Katura stated that he is aware of the challenge and that his office will work with officials from the Ministry of Home Affairs to find a solution.

The Councillor of Musese Constituency in Kavango West Region, Kosmos Katura, has urged the Ministry of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety and Security to enhance civil registration outreach programmes within his constituency.

Katura's call follows a significant turnout of undocumented Namibians seeking registration at Olavi Sivute Combined School.

Katura says a considerable number of individuals, particularly children, lack national identity documents.

The government has reiterated its commitment to providing quality healthcare services to citizens across the country.

The Heath and Social Services Minister Dr. Kalumbi Shangula said this while assessing progress on the ongoing construction of the Gcaruha Clinic. 

The process was abandoned several times over a 12-year period. 

Dr. Shangula was speaking at Gcaruha Village in the Musese Constituency, to mark the belated 33 years of Namibia's independence.
