Nudo calls Nujoma to order

The spokesperson of the National Unity Democratic Organisation (Nudo) Joseph Kauandenge, has called on President Hage Geingob to call the lands minister, Utoni Nujoma, to order, following eviction orders given to farmers in the Otjimbingwe and Ovitoto areas.Kauandenge said that Nujoma was responsible for the eviction notices to the farmers. “Nujoma's actions with regard to farm Okongava no. 72 in Otjimbingwe area that was promised to Otjimbingwe residents so that they can expand the boundaries of their village are questionable. Now, 28 families have been given eviction letters to vacate that farm by the ministry because that same farm has been earmarked for a lithium mining operation,” said Kauandenge. Kauandenge said that Nujoma was “unfit” for office. “Minister Nujoma with regard to two farms in Ovitoto constituency also previously earmarked for the expansion of the village, has given the land to a private company to establish a hunting farm. This should be reason enough for the president to realise that Minister Nujoma is unfit to occupy that position.”Kauandenge said that land was a controversial issue in Namibia at the moment and therefore the issue needs intervention from President Hage Geingob. “Simply put, the president must as a matter of urgency call the minister to order and cancel these transactions forthwith in the interest of peace, harmony and co-existence in this country,” shared Kauandenge.He said that Nujoma was “out of touch” with reality and had no clue about land issues in the country. “It is high time that the minister realises or, he should be told bluntly, that his actions are counterproductive, illogical and at best ignorant of the current prevailing situation,” said Kauandenge. He further added that Nujoma's former deputy Clinton Swaartbooi has been “vindicated” because he to stood up to Nujoma. “His statement that Minister Nujoma has no clue let alone empathy towards those who lost land, and that the ministry's resettlement programme is in total chaos has come to ring true,” said KauandengeShona Ngava
