Close Parliament: Outsource Lawmaking You have to admire the Namibian government’s innovation when it comes to lawmaking. While Botswana’s Boko-Boko is reminding his parliament of their calling as lawmakers, Namibia gives the job back to citizens. A brand-new idea – outsourcing lawmaking to citizens. Revolutionary stuff. Very DIY. Next thing you know, we’ll be drafting the next presidential speech ourselves at home and hosting our own parliamentary sessions over WhatsApp voice notes. Maybe this will be better than paying someone like MP Nekongo to spend time on our ticket bullying good boy Georgie Kambala. With such anger issues, let us legislate Namibia ourselves. Finish and klaar. The Ministry of Justice and Labour Relations, clearly tired of sending WhatsApps that get blue-ticked by parliament, has now made it official: Namibians, please tell us what laws need changing. That’s right. The people who are paid to do the job (with our taxes, mind you) have now passed the buck back to us. Imagine paying a mechanic to fix your car and then being asked to submit a proposal on how to remove the gearbox. Now, don’t get me wrong. The lack of police transport is indeed a national concern. The only thing slower than a police car to a domestic violence call is the queue at Katutura Clinic. We know this all too well, and a law cannot change it. Good process design, planning, supervision and reinforcement is what could work. Every now and then, someone must be fired just to keep them all on their toes, but not here. In Namibia we will fight to save one comrade’s job at the risk of losses to many other lives. Anyways, back to outsourcing lawmaker duties. Surely it’s not the lawmakers’ job to sit in parliament debating tyre pressure and oil changes while the laws of the land gather dust, like that one uncle’s CV. These are lawmakers, not car reviewers. Their job is literally in the title: to make laws. But maybe it’s unfair of us to expect job-description literacy when even half our MPs are still trying to find the caps lock button on their iPads. So now, because the parliament is still recovering from the emotional damage of standing up to say “Order!” for no reason, the ministry is turning to us, the ordinary citizens, for help. The honourable ministry seems to have decided that if we wait for the parliament, we’ll only see legal reform right after the second coming of Christ. Of course, once you open the gates, the flood comes in. Proposals are flying in faster than tender applications by two-year-olds. I saw a proposal on “a law that bans people from chewing loudly in public places” and the motivation is “because trauma is real”. Another citizen submitted a proposal for the “National In-Law Act” to regulate how long your mother-in-law can stay in your house after your wedding. This particular proposal goes further to suggest “emergency protection orders may apply”. A bill forcing all parliamentarians to take a basic WhatsApp literacy course, including a compulsory module on the difference between “reply” and “forward”. You see, the problem is not that Namibians aren’t creative. The problem is that the people we pay to think, simply aren’t. You’d expect lawmakers to be the ones going to rural villages, markets, kapana stands and truck stops, listening to real people about how outdated laws are messing with their lives. But no, our honourables are too busy launching new caucuses to discuss why there’s no Wi-Fi in the National Assembly, or debating whether eating biltong during a session is “unparliamentary conduct”. Let’s not forget the time the parliament descended into a full shouting match over fashion, yes, fashion, with members passionately arguing about whether Crocs should be allowed in the chamber. Meanwhile, the Combating of Domestic Violence Act is begging for an upgrade like an iPhone 6 running on iOS 18. And we wonder why the people are tired. You know what, this is just rubbish. Namibians are still waiting for the amendments to the Copyrights and Good Neighbour Relations Act of 1994 to pass through that house. (What? Are you sure there’s no such law?) Ten other bills are possibly hanging in the air. And now there is an invite for more laws to be considered. So, I wonder if the problem lies with ideas, or with the law reform and making process itself? It’s become increasingly clear that the only laws parliamentarians are interested in reforming are the ones that affect their car allowances, per diem rates and travel upgrades. Ask them about the Communal Land Reform Act and you’ll be met with blinking, buffering faces like a 3G video call from Opuwo. Ask about their luxury SUVs, and they’ll produce a full thesis with references, an appendix and footnotes. But maybe we’ve been too harsh. Maybe, just maybe, this whole “public proposal” thing is a clever reverse psychology trick. Maybe the ministry hopes that when Namibians flood their inboxes with absurd, badly formatted Word documents titled ‘Proposal FINAL FINAL final2.docx’, the parliament will finally wake up and say: “You know what, let’s just do it ourselves before someone actually passes a law making biltong a public holiday.” Until then, all we can do is submit our proposals. Because apparently we’re all lawmakers now. Draft your law, attach your scanned Namibian ID (black-and-white copy, please), and don’t forget the cover letter addressed to “Whom It May One Day Concern”. After all, in the Republic of Outsourced Responsibility, the only law that seems to still matter is Murphy’s. The post Close Parliament: Outsource Lawmaking appeared first on The Namibian.

Wake up there's been those in #lawmaking taking #womens rights and making them into a #secondarycitizen. Hence taking away their life saving measures to #D&C surgery. That's a #denial of #ushealthcare and state #votes for #uswomencitizens.
