The National Empowerment Fighting Corruption (NEFC) Party has called on the Namibian government to bring back religious and moral education in schools to restore good moral values.

The party, which is about five years old, is on a mission to fight corruption, poverty, and inequalities, among others.

"We want the Bible back into schools because it was removed from schools. It was there then they removed it, but now if you look at Namibia right now among young people, it is a confused nation; there is no order, no respect for people, and it is just confusion everywhere, and some are even using drugs. These children that are currently in school, we believe that if the Bible goes back to schools, it will be better than the young people that are confused," said party president Kenneth Iilonga.

The party plans to ensure that the working class receives a living wage.

The NEFC Party will eliminate embezzlement of public funds, corruption in the issuance of mining licences, and awarding of tenders, curb poaching and irregular awarding of fishing quotas, and create jobs.

The party will also launch the National Anti-Corruption Units in all 14 of the country's regions to supplement the efforts of the various anti-corruption agencies.

"The National Empowerment Fighting Corruption is a political party that has a nickname called the group for poor people, and its aims are to seek employment for those without jobs and to bring projects that have to do with employment, like in agriculture, farming, and green schemes, and we planned to provide free water to allow every Namibian to be able to provide food for themselves by having a garden without complaining that they do not have water. We also planned that the government would then buy the food from individuals, and the government could sell it wherever."

If voted into power, Iilonga promised to provide N$1,750 to every individual for a period of three years.
