The Landless People's Movement has called out the national budget for failing to tackle youth unemployment. LPM spokesperson Lifalaza Simataa argues that the current budget keeps things the same as before. He believes the country continues to struggle with growing unemployment rates and stagnant economic sectors.
Simataa points out that manufacturing industries haven't expanded in recent years. He criticizes the budget for lacking ambition and not making meaningful changes. The political leader emphasizes that agriculture needs serious support. Although agriculture remains Namibia's biggest employer, farmers face significant challenges like ongoing drought and limited government assistance.
During their fourth national convention in Windhoek, LPM leader Bernadus Swartbooi strongly criticized the national budget. The party wants more transparency about how government funds work across different levels. Simataa argues that understanding these financial mechanisms helps people comprehend why projects take longer to start and why support seems slow.
The LPM argues that simply increasing budget numbers isn't enough to create real change. They want radical approaches to solve unemployment and economic challenges. Simataa believes the current educational system is failing young people and preventing them from finding meaningful work opportunities.
Looking ahead to the November local authority elections, the party is pushing for opposition unity. They hope to draw attention to what they see as critical gaps in current government planning. The LPM continues to advocate for innovative solutions that can breathe new life into Namibia's struggling economic sectors.
