“A Parliament is not judged by the eloquence of its debates, but by the enduring quality of the laws it leaves behind.” – Unknown.
There are moments in a democracy’s life when silence speaks louder than words.
The National Assembly of Namibia has studied reports, questioned ministers, debated motions, and conducted oversight visits. However, after almost sixteen months of the Eighth National Assembly’s existence, not a single measure has completed the legislative process and been signed into law. This is more than a legislative statistic. It is a constitutional moment that warrants careful national consideration. The issue before us is not whether Members of Parliament have been busy.
Nor is it an indictment of any political party, minister or Member of Parliament.
