The National Assembly has not received a written resignation letter from the Popular Democratic Movement (PDM) member of parliament, Vipuakuje Muharukua.

This is contrary to reports that Muharukua has resigned from the party and the National Assembly.

Senior Public Relations Officer at Parliament, Sakeus Kadhikwa, told nbc News that they have not received any official resignation letter from Muharukua.

He, however, confirmed that Muharukua was absent from the session today, which does not mean a resignation.

The Popular Democratic Movement Member of Parliament, Vipuakuje Muharukua, has raised concerns about legal practitioners who allegedly corrupt debtors to represent them and share part of their winnings once they succeed with a case.

Muharukua was contributing to the High Court Amendment Bill tabled by Minister of Justice Yvonne Dausab.

The bill seeks to give equal rights to litigants' in-house or immovable property repossession cases.

Muharukua also stressed the need to have a Small Claims Court.

The absence of opposition party parliamentarians in the National Assembly has resulted in a short session this afternoon - with some MPs suggesting that the house goes on recess right away.
During the last two weeks, the National Assembly was marred by negative pictures of opposition party members unceremoniously walking out and staging a complete boycott.
In today' sitting, some opposition members could be seen in the house, some all smile and others very serious. 

They appeared briefly in the house before again disappearing.

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.
