The National Empowerment Fighting Corruption (NEFC) party’s manifesto will promote free higher education.
Vice president Stefanus Matheus, speaking at the party’s manifesto launch in Havana informal settlement in Windhoek on Thursday, said the NEFC will advocate free tertiary education, as well as for indigenous languages to be declared the country’s official languages.
“We want to propose our local Namibian languages to be in the Constitution as official languages. We should have our own local language as an official language,” he said.
Matheus said the NEFC will promote an affordable justice system to accommodate everyone.
“So that even the poor would be able to file a defamation complaint without being represented by a lawyer, but to be assisted by a judge.”
Matheus said more agricultural initiatives should receive funding to create a self-sustainable country.
“By investing more in agriculture we will be able to consume what we produce in this country,” he said.
