The Minister of Works and Transport, Veikko Nekundi, has said laws that hinder the participation of local businesses must be amended. 

Nekundi says there is a need for a comprehensive strategy to prioritise local enterprises in government projects, thereby boosting growth at home.

Justice Minister Yvonne Dausab has emphasised the importance of lawmakers ensuring that laws are clearly translated and understood before passing.

Dausab was speaking during the Commonwealth Law Reform Training underway in Windhoek.

The Executive Director at the Ministry of Justice, Gladice Pickering, has described Namibia's laws around inheritance as discriminatory.

The Chairperson of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Natural Resources, Tjekero Tweya, is of the view that if the existing laws passed in parliament are deemed inadequate, it is necessary to enhance and strengthen them.

The Deputy Minister of Finance, Maureen Hinda-Mbuende, has tabled amendments to three laws in the financial sector in the National Assembly.

These are the Value Added Tax, Stamp Duties, and the Income Tax.
