Governor John //Khamuseb just spoke seriously about keeping elections clean and professional. At a meeting with the Electoral Commission of Namibia (ECN), he didn't hold back about ensuring that elections ran smoothly.
//Khamuseb wants the ECN to crack down hard on anyone who breaks election rules. He believes election officials, political agents, and police officers need to take their jobs super seriously. Training matters big time. These aren't just simple tasks—they're about protecting Namibia's democracy.
The governor called out how embarrassing it can be when things go wrong during elections. Running out of ballot books? That's not acceptable. He wants the ECN to always have extra materials ready and to punish anyone who messes up the process.
ECN operations director Zania Klazen backed him up. Her solution? Blacklisting troublemakers from future election work. If someone breaks the rules and there's proof in the occurrence books, they're out.
The meeting included members from different political parties, such as the Independent Patriots for Change and Swapo. They're preparing for two upcoming by-elections in the Otjozondjupa region. These elections will fill spots left open when two councillors moved up to become members of parliament.
Khamuseb's message was crystal clear: Elections aren't just another day at the office. They're a big deal that shows how strong a country's democracy is. Every official needs to bring their A-game and take responsibility seriously.
The Grootfontein and Otjiwarongo constituencies are gearing up for their June 17 vote. With //Khamuseb's passionate speech and the ECN's commitment to accountability, they're determined to make these elections as smooth and transparent as possible.
