The issue of informal traders across the country was on the agenda this morning at Parliament as the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Economics and Public Administration sought to address the social protection of vendors.
The Committee Chairperson, Natangwe Ithete, stated that vendors contribute to the economic growth of Namibia, but they are often treated unfairly by the authorities, including the police, which is not desirable.
The Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Economics and Public Administration, Natangwe Ithete, has emphasised the necessity of revising and modernising the national railway system in a way that stimulates growth and development.
Ithete said this during a visit by the members of the standing committee to ||Kharas Governor Aletha Frederick.
The standing committee is currently conducting an oversight visit to assess the management of railway services, infrastructure, and facilities in the southern region.
The Chairperson of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Economics and Public Administration called on fishing companies to sell fish at an affordable price in order for Namibians to enjoy their natural resources.
Natangwe Ithete made this call during the two-day consultative and oversight workshop on the Financial Institutions and Markets Act, held in Swakopmund.
Fishing is one of Namibia's leading industries, consistently contributing around three percent to the country's GDP since 2007 and accounting for about 20% of export earnings.
The Chairperson of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Economics and Public Administration, Natangwe Ithete, strongly opposes the verdict on same-sex marriages.
Policies aimed to improve governance and reduce corruption could be the remedy to prevent the "oil curse" in Namibia.
This sentiment was expressed by the Petroleum Commissioner in the Ministry of Mines and Energy, Maggy Shino.
During her presentation, Shino said the oil industry stands to gain from undertaking a remedial effort that would reduce operating costs, increase production, and raise the standard of living for the people.
