Meanwhile, the opposition Democratic Turnhalle Alliance (DTA) has said it will petition the European Union (EU) to stop its aid to Namibia because of the country's involvement in the Angolan conflict.
DTA president Katuutire Kaura told parliament that Namibia has enough money to spend on "useless wars" as demonstrated by last week's budget in which nearly half additional budgetary funds available to the government were earmarked for military expenditure. "I do not regret saying this, because I
will only regret it if I keep quiet while watching Namibia being governed like someone's fief or farm," he said.
