Other policies on the floor are the land bill, the Public Enterprises Governance Amendment, investment, and the Petroleum Act, which will allow her administration to do its work.

"Inequality of land in Namibia is a big concern. I hope this will now change with the land bill currently under discussion in parliament. We suggest that a quick path to equal land can ease future burdens," he said.
