Namibian opposition parties are divided over calls to remove Saara Kuugongelwa-Amadhila, Speaker of the National Assembly. Some are demanding her departure, while others say her removal would not resolve the crises affecting Parliament, reports The Namibian.
In September, Imms Nashinge, a lawmaker from the Independent Patriots for Change (IPC), called for a vote of no confidence in the Speaker, accusing her of running the Assembly with an iron fist and with bias. McHenry Venaani, leader of the Popular Democratic Movement (PDM), warned against using a removal procedure to settle political disagreements. He urged MPs to prioritise consultation, discipline and respect for parliamentary procedures.
