Landless People's Movement (LPM) Chief Whip Henny Seibeb has warned members of parliament not to set up rules that criminalise outspoken parliamentarians.

Seibeb has urged his peers at a validation meeting in Swakopmund to come up with futuristic rules that will help strengthen the functions of parliament.

Members of the National Assembly have gathered in Swakopmund to review the current rules governing the house.

The last time the rules were reviewed was seven years ago.
