Other notable achievements highlighted are the passing of the Disaster Risk Management Act meant to reduce the effects of floods and drought that perennially plague the country and the Access to Information Bill aimed at easing access to information in order to empower communities with timely, adequate and accurate information and bridging the digital divide.

The new Education Act and Child Protection Act are also likely to improve the overall education sector and enhance teaching and learning outcomes and the protection of children from challenges such as child marriage, respectively.

Parliament of Namibia staff participated in the Africa Service Day Sport Tournament from 24 to 26 June 2024.

Speaker of the National Assembly, Hon. Prof. Peter Katjavivi today, registered as a voter at the MTC headquarters in Olympia. He was received by Electoral Commission of Namibia - ECN Chairperson, Dr. Elsie Nghikembua. Hon. Katjavivi implored all Namibians to register for the upcoming general elections in order to exercise their democratic right. The General Registration of Voters which started yesterday, will come to an end on the 1st of August 2024.

The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Economics and Public Administration today, began with its oversight visits to the Northern Communal Areas (NCAs). The oversight visits emanate from a petition received by the National Assembly in 2022, referred to the committee, which was lodged by a civic organization known as Lisha Empowerment and Development. The petition calls for the urgent revival of the market for livestock in the Northern Communal Areas (NCAs), further imploring parliament to intervene in what the group describes as “underdevelopment of the livestock market in the NCA’s to the point of market extinction”.

The committee is led by Hon. Natangwe Ithete with fellow MPs, Hons. Maria Elago, Gotthard Kasuto, Yvette Araes, Johanna Kandjimi, and Jennifer van den Heever.
