Opposition leader Imms Nashinge wants better lives for Namibian police officers. Speaking Thursday in the National Assembly, the Independent Patriots for Change official criticized current conditions. Police lack proper housing, drive unmarked vehicles, and receive low pay despite being called the backbone of national security.

Nashinge argued that officers need mental and emotional support alongside financial improvements. Many officers have quit their jobs, searching for decent living standards elsewhere. The opposition leader urged the responsible ministry to enhance police working conditions so officers can effectively fight crime. He also expressed concerns about uncontrolled movement at Namibia-Angola border crossings, where police presence is lacking.

He emphasized the importance of protecting Namibian territory. This marked his first speech as opposition leader in parliament. The current situation makes it difficult for officers to perform their duties properly. According to Nashinge, police deserve better treatment considering their essential role in maintaining public safety.
