In a recent parliamentary session, the Popular Democratic Movement's (PDM) MP, Inna Hengari, expressed deep concern about the increasing violence against children in Namibia.

In simple terms, violence means hurting someone on purpose, either physically or emotionally.

Hengari highlighted that despite the laws and policies in place to protect children, reports of them being abused, raped, and subjected to violence have become distressingly common in Namibia.

The Popular Democratic Movement (PDM) leader McHenry Venaani has called on voters in the Keetmanshoop Rural Constituency to come out in numbers on the 15th of May to vote for Johannes Eiman.

Venaani made the call when he addressed the party's rally at Aroab in the ||Kharas Region. 

The by-election to elect a new regional councillor became necessary after the Landless People's Movement last year recalled Gerrit Witbooi.

Vanaani told the gathering that his party remains relevant and continues to play its part in the country's political landscape.

Popular Democratic Movement MP Nico Smit has requested an investigation and a full audit into the expenditure of the Ministry of Education, Arts and Culture for the 2022/2023 Financial Year.

Popular Democratic Movement (PDM) MP Nico Smit has moved to have a comprehensive inquiry into the allocation of public tenders.

Such an inquiry, he says, is necessary to restore public confidence and trust in the tender board.

The Popular Democratic Movement (PDM) canvassed for votes in the Okaku Constituency ahead of next Friday's by-election.
 
The party's rally was attended by MPs, party leaders, and individuals at different levels.

Taking to the podium, Immanuel Ngaringombe, the party's Secretary General implored voters to deliver victory, saying that once voted into power, the party will bring much-needed development to the constituency.

The Popular Democratic Movement's (PDM) Shadow Finance Minister has shot down the country's annual budget for the 2023–2024 financial year as nothing but the usual government rhetoric lacking any means for implementation.

As is customary, Nico Smit of the official opposition took the platform to open the general debate on the Appropriation Bill, tabled by Finance and Public Enterprises Minister, Ipumbu Shiimi, last week.

The motto of Shiimi's budget last week was an economic revival and caring for the poor.

Popular Democratic Movement (PDM) candidate Jason Haufiku was introduced to residents of Okaku Constituency.

PDM leader President McHenry Venaani has called on eligible voters in the Okaku Constituency to vote for the party's candidate Jason Haufiku in the upcoming by-election.

Venaani endorsed the PDM candidate at the party's star rally at Haiyandja in Okaku.

He says the Okaku by-election should be a generational election where young people are given a chance to lead.

Venaani urged the parliamentarians to go out and robustly engage the community.

A member of the Popular Democratic Movement (PDM) in the National Assembly is calling for a subsidy to support farmers to produce more food for the country and for their own household consumption.

Vipuakuje Muharukua argued in his motion in parliament that Namibians, especially farmers, can be self-reliant if they are well supported to ensure food security and reduce reliance on imported food.

The PDM MP took time to motivate a submission which appears to be enjoying the attention of various parliamentarians.

Popular Democratic Movement MP in the National Assembly Elma Dienda says Namwater should only write off the debts of local authorities that cannot afford to pay while those that have the capacity should do so.
