"some reports by implementing some recommendations of such reports, much need to be done to improve the importance, the work of the committees, their efficiency and effectiveness:hence the following proposal:"

"within the main objective of the Namibian vision 2030, provision should be made for automatic referral of bill to the relevant parliament standing committees, before the bill is been discussed during the second reading to ensure that committees carry their functions effectively, they should be equipped with skilled technical personnel, research desk should be established within the parliament, legal drafters must also be allocated within the relevant standing committees of parliament, financial resources,and inclusive mobility to ensure that individual parliamentarians consult the electorates at their constituencies levels."

"while recognizing the efforts of the founding ministers and permanent secretaries in equalizing education sectors which were divided on the basis of color and ethnic as weLL as other efforts by other ministers in the field, i will fail by duties if i do not applaude the current efforts of current education team led by DR. Abraham Iyambo and his deputy Dr.David Namwandi! comrades "you are doing· well" continue and improve even more! keep on listening to the citizens ideas and proposals, and where you can implement them.for some of us like me, we have a lot to learn from you: "the art of effective listening, the art of strategy and skills and of team work: the art of planning on previous budget contribution and elsewhere concerning the challenges facing education sector have been implemented"

"some reports like the ombudsmans report when tabled before parliament should be automatically be forwarded for discussion and referred to the relevant committee for further discussion and consultation; like, the auditor-generals work hand in gloves with the public account committee, so should the ombudsman work hands in gloves with the constitutional and legal affairs committee. all three organs of the state; the executive, the judiciary and the legislature should work towards the fulfillment of the goals and aspirations contained in vision 2030."

"THE FINANCE ACT SHOULD ALSO BE AMENDED TO ENSURE FOUR TREATMENTS: FOR EXAMPLE THE INTEREST ACCUMULATED BY INDIVIDUALS IF HE/SHE OWES GOVERNMENT MONEY, SUCH INTERESTS SHOULD ALSO BE PAID BY THE GOVERNMENT TO INDIVIDUALS."

"there should be a structure to be decided by the executive component of our legislature to ensure the implementation of recommendations contained in the reports from various standing committees and the committees should be empowered to follow up in those recommendations and hold the relevant ministries/institutions accountable. the money used by the committees are public funds, seriousness should be attached to the work of the committees."
