Members of the Constituent Assembly reminisced about the challenges and triumphs they faced while drafting the nation's constitution.

Members recounted the early days of the Constituent Assembly, highlighting diverse perspectives on subjects such as foreign policy, the economy, and the nature of the newly-found republic.

Members of the Constituent Assembly and the first MPs in the new National Assembly, Dr. Kaire Mbuende and Jerry Ekandjo, noted the international benchmarks that influenced Namibia's constitutional principles.

The Speaker of the House, Professor Peter Katjavivi, addressed the concerns surrounding MP Jerry Ekandjo's Notice of Motion, providing an explanation of the sequence of events.

The Speaker clarified that his office had not issued any instructions to exclude Ekandjo's motion from the Order Paper."Let me make it clear: there was never an instruction from my office or from myself or my office not to place his motion on the Order Paper."

Tensions ran high in the National Assembly as the House resumed its sessions this week.

The chambers of the House of Lawmaking were once again immersed in intense drama.

One of the points of contention emerged when a motion on same-sex marriage, originally slated for discussion on Tuesday, was reportedly unexpectedly removed and rescheduled by Speaker Professor Peter Katjavivi.

This decision immediately sparked backlash from Swapo MP Jerry Ekandjo, the initiator of the motion, who argued against its withdrawal, stating that the motion should proceed as planned.
