Hands off ECN

By Kakede ka Nangula, Namibia

Actually, I want to comment on remarks by DTA’s Secretary General MC Henry Venaani.

Venaani castigating the ECN of Namibia said that, his party was not going to participate in the forthcoming Okahandja By-Election, because such Election was still going to be supervised by the same ECN, which they have taken to court, for so-called irregularities during last November Election.

If Venaani was a person who could tell the truth, nothing else but the truth; He would have said, “DTA was not going to take part in the Okahandja Election for fear of being defeated again by SWAPO.

Is that not the same tactics they played during the Hainyeko constituent Election of last year?

Therefore, Venaani, who is still licking his wounds after the humiliating defeat DTA, has suffered at the hands of SWAPO during the last November Elections, has to avoid the same scenario being repeated, if they go to take part in the Okahandja Election.

More over, Venaani is calling the ECN all sorts of names because, he had lost his seat in the National Assembly.

Well, Venaani is himself to blame. Because, he found himself in the wrong party, a party that was created by Dirk Mudge to fight against SWAPO. Does Venaani think the people of Namibia politically conscious as they are - have forgotten all that? No, and that is what Venaani was suppose to learn to understand why his party is not popular in Namibia.

More over, there is that trend of some leaders of certain political parties who cling to power for too long.

Had the DTA changed the President who was left in the leadership for almost ten years by Mishek Muyongo, situation would probably be different by now, and that Mr Venaani would not have lost his seat in Parliament. Something that made him to be bitter against ECN of Namibia. Perhaps this is time to advice Mr Venaani to divorce DTA and join SWAPO Party if he wish to return to Parliament again.
