Let’s Rethink The Lords: Home for Parliamentary Ethics By this point, a pattern should be fairly obvious. We keep finding ourselves having ethical arguments inside the House of Lords, not because anyone deliberately put them there, but because there hasn’t really been anywhere else for them to go. That’s left us with a system that wants ethical questions to be taken seriously, but hasn’t quite decided where they belong.

Ethics in politics usually appears late, loud, and messy.
What if it had a clearer, calmer place to live?

"Presidents demonstrate their highest effectiveness when they employ moral persuasion instead of coercion to persuade the nation of their objectives and aspirations", wrote Joshua Longmire in a timely piece for the #FordLeadershipForum in January.

MPs declare assets National Assembly secretary Esther Kaapanda on Tuesday confirmed that several members of parliament (MPs) have already started to declare their assets. This is in accordance with the code of conduct, which requires MPs to declare their financial interests as prescribed in standing rule 65, which came into effect after they were sworn in. She explained that subject to the rule, the first declaration must be made within 30 days of being sworn in as an MP. Following that, MPs must annually declare particulars of their registrable interests on or before 30 April each year, unless the committee decides otherwise. Any member of parliament who has no registrable interests must furnish a “nil return”. The rules further state that if circumstances permit, the MP must be afforded the opportunity to rectify the breach of which the member has been found guilty. An MP who fails to comply faces penalties including reprimand or a fine not exceeding the value of a month’s salary, or twice the value of the unethically derived benefit, whichever is greater. Further penalties include a reduction of salary or allowances for a period not exceeding 15 days, or suspension of the MP’s privileges or right to sit in the August house or committee for a period not exceeding 15 days. Such penalties must, however, be commensurate with the severity of the MP’s breach of code of conduct. The Code of Conduct further states that the committee may receive a complaint from any resident or citizen of Namibia alleging a breach in writing, containing a clear detailed description of such breach. This is a developing story. The post MPs declare assets appeared first on The Namibian.

Nandi-Ndaitwah won’t act against Luvindao without evidence – Hengari Presidential spokesperson Alfredo Hengari says president Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah will not take steps against newly appointed health minister Esperance Luvindao without binding evidence of her being unethical. Some medical doctors have accused the new minister of health and social services of professional misconduct. Hengari yesterday told The Namibian: “Allegations are allegations. President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah doesn’t act or take decisions based on allegations and speculation, but on evidence. “The president will act on the basis of charges and evidence.” This comes after The Namibian last week reported that three Namibian medical professionals alerted the president to Luvindao’s controversial professional history. This includes allegations of professional misconduct, which has prompted a formal complaint. The complaint was lodged by Windhoek-based doctors, who wrote to the president last week. Hengari said Nandi-Ndaitwah’s focus is Namibians’ development. “President Nandi-Ndaitwah is entirely focused on the implementation of the mandate of advancing the developmental interests of the Namibian people,” he said. Despite sources confirming that a case had been registered about Luvindao’s alleged misconduct last Wednesday, national police spokesperson deputy commissioner Kauna Shikwambi yesterday said she cannot confirm the case without the details of the complainants, the date the case was opened on, and the involved police station’s name. “That way it will be easier to get confirmation, not by suspect name,” she said. However, other police sources could not confirm the existence of the case. Nandi-Ndaitwah appointed Luvindao (31) as minister of health and social services this month. Sources say Luvindao’s former employer filed a formal complaint about questionable records of operations “that never took place”. The Namibian also reported that Nandi-Ndaitwah was reviewing Luvindao’s appointment. “She works on evidence. She requested the team to gather evidence,” a source has said. Luvindao is known for delivering free online consultations to more than 44 000 patients from Namibia, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Nigeria and Rwanda since 2019. In 2022, she won Queen Elizabeth’s Commonwealth Points of Light award for delivering these free online consultations. According to the Points of Light website, Luvindao started offering the sessions after working in northern Namibia and noticing the difficulties underprivileged citizens experienced in accessing healthcare, with many patients having to travel long distances of over 50km and waiting up to 10 hours to see a doctor. The post Nandi-Ndaitwah won’t act against Luvindao without evidence – Hengari appeared first on The Namibian.
