When the father of the Nation, Sam Nujoma, openly advocates summary executions and his SWAPO advisers and companions don't institute damage control immediately, one has to start wondering where Namibia is heading after the November elections.
There are just too many indications now that our Constitution is no longer worth the paper it is written on.
First there was the exclusion of the public from taking part in the government of the country, which I complained about in my Letter to the Government. Then there is the obvious ignoring of the Ombudsman
as a representative of the people. Next there was the precedent set by the magistrate that robbers can be shot on sight without any repercussions. The proposed amendments, which can and probably will be implemented by a two third majority in parliament this week, are the final proof for this.
The cries of the public for a referendum on the proposed amendments are being ignored. The comments of certain parts of the public in favor of summary executions in the case of the magistrate are now officially taken up by the founding father, in direct violation of the Constitution and NO voice is raised against him.
Do we need more confirmation that Namibia is at the end of it's democracy?
