Change must come to Namibia, too
It is true, the only constant condition is change. There is a time for everything. Too much of a good thing is bad. You shall reap what you sow. You can fool some people sometimes, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.
Change must come to Namibia, like it came to Botswana. Thirty-four (34) years of the same people doing very little or nothing at all, but feeling entitled to rule has become painful to many citizens and disastrous to the nation's economy. Many of us are hurting at the hands of the current leadership that has lost its capacity to hear, feel or feel the pain of fellow Namibians.
Namibia is not working and is crying out for change. If you think Namibia is working, ask those who are not working or those whose fundamental dignity has been trampled upon by those in political power. Ask those who are now promising milk and honey where they were when corruption was becoming official and they are still denying it.
As a matter of fact, they are still allowing corruption tainted people to be the face of the future they are promising. Ask them why they stayed silent when fellow Namibians who did not commit crimes were hurt before their eyes. Ask them how they will defend the constitution of the republic and protect all Namibians when they never raised their hands to do so in the past.
Ask them what they will do differently to uphold the laws and treat all Namibians as equals when they never did so in the past, and do not do so even now. Ask them why certain communities are excluded from power as a matter of government routine. Ask them how they are promising to be better only when elected.
In order to start this crucial conversation with those who are pleading to be trusted, there ought to be a nationally televised presidential debate. This debate will offer the presidential candidates to take their cases to the Namibian voters and their families.
Let us hear the candidates outline their party programs, articulate their concrete plans of action as leaders based on their track records, the values they are driven by and their visions of the future. Not the past!
The nation deserves to hear these individuals in one room at the same time and at the same temperature so that people are informed and educated before they cast their sacred votes on 27 November. Let the political leaders explain and let there be light in the cave of darkness.
