The Vice Chairman of the International Democratic Union (IDU) and leader of the Popular Democratic Movement, McHenry Venaani, has also expressed concern over Israel's declaration of war against Hamas in the region.

In a statement, Venaani emphasised the distressing and worrisome nature of the ongoing conflict.

Venaani stressed that a lasting path to peace and stability cannot be achieved through continued conflict and military action.

He acknowledged the legitimate security concerns of Israel and the rights of its citizens to live in safety and peace.

The Popular Democratic Movement President McHenry Venaani has tabled a motion seeking to erect a shrine at the Vaalgras in honour of the late Kaptein Hendrik !Anseb Witbooi. 

Venaani said the erection of a lighting shrine would not only serve as a perpetual beacon for Namibians, but it would also improve the area's economic well-being.

A lack of housing remains a pressing issue for many Namibians, with high costs making it impossible for ordinary Namibians to qualify for land or conventional home loans.

The President of the Popular Democratic Movement, McHenry Venaani, says this has placed an even bigger strain on the poor, youth, and unemployed citizens, as there is no system to accommodate them.

Namibia is second to Dubai in skyrocketing house prices, something Venaani questioned considering Namibia’s low population and massive land.

The PDM leader has also shown support for the rights of the LGBTQI community, saying that though his party's policy stance does not support the formalisation of same-sex marriages, those who identify remain a part of the country's society.

Venaani further says that Namibia is a liberal country, and harsh policies to punish the gay community have no place in Namibia.

President of the Popular Democratic Movement, McHenry Venaani, plans to table a Private Persons Bill aimed at addressing the "unfair discrimination" of minorities in Namibia.

Venaani, at a media conference, expressed what he termed concerns regarding the continuous neglect and failure of Namibia's current policies to protect the rights of minority groups.

Popular Democratic Movement councillor at Usakos, Aletta Katiti Sem (45), has died.

Sem served as the deputy mayor of Usakos and was also the acting Karibib Constituency Coordinator and interim chairperson of the PDM Women's League.

PDM president McHenry Venaani described the late Sem as an extraordinary individual whose unwavering commitment and tireless efforts played a pivotal role in shaping the future of the Movement.

The Popular Democratic Movement's President, McHenry Venaani, has called on United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres to intervene in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Venaani said this during the PDM management central committee meeting at Rundu.

Venaani says the crisis in Europe has negatively impacted other countries, citing food delivery in Sub-Saharan Africa.

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.

The leader of the official opposition, McHenry Venaani, has called for the suspension of the National Petroleum Corporation of Namibia's (NAMCOR) Managing Director, Immanuel Mulunga.

Venaani says the nature of current events at the state oil company calls for an integrity inquiry and therefore wants the Minister of Finance and Public Enterprises, Iipumbu Shiimi, to act within 48 hours.

The Popular Democratic Movement (PDM) will also move a motion in Parliament to initiate a parliamentary investigation into the allegations leveled against senior management at NAMCOR.

PDM leader McHenry Venaani says the recent actions by the children of the liberation struggle have the potential to pose a security threat, urging the government to urgently address their plight.

The call comes after a group of Struggle Kids recently blocked entry to the Ministry of Defense and locked offices with chains.

Many of the Struggle Kids are now grown up, but as orphans, their parents died as a consequence of the pre-independence fights.

Over the years, they have staged many protests, calling on the government to give them jobs.
