The Speaker of the National Assembly, Professor Peter Katjavivi, proposed that the upcoming week should be dedicated to bidding farewell to the late President and forgoing parliamentary sessions.

The 11th session of the 6th National Council went into recess today and will resume on April 8th this year.

Vice Chairperson of the National Council, Victoria Kauma, commended MPs for demonstrating unity, resilience, and the spirit of collaboration, despite grieving for the late President Hage Geingob. 

In a move aimed at bolstering regional and local development efforts, the Minister of Urban and Rural Development, Erastus Uutoni, presented the Regional and Constituency Development Fund Bill to the National Assembly. 

The Kunene Region held a memorial service to honour  the late President, Hage Geingob.

Kunene Governor Marius Sheya at the event said, it is so unreal that Hage Geingob is no more.

The San Community at Uitkoms Settlement say they remember the late President Hage Geingob as a servant of the people, especially the marginalised communities.

The leader of the Uitkoms community, Chief Katae Augus, says Dr. Geingob was a person who cared for the elderly and destitute Namibians.
