By: Envaalde Matheus Experts have criticised political parties for failing to address critical national issues such as unemployment, healthcare, and education in their manifestos. Political scientist Basilius Kasera on Monday argued that party manifestos are poorly constructed, offering little insight into how the parties plan to tackle the nation's most pressing challenges. "This year's manifestos are poorly written, both in terms of grammar and style, and lack the quality needed to be considered serious public documents. I don't just blame the political parties; I also blame the oversight institution, the ECN. The problem is that the ECN needs to hold political parties to higher standards and prevent the emergence of fly-by-night parties and manifestos that read like badly written poetry," remarked Kasera. Labour expert Hebert Jauch echoed these concerns, stating that the manifestos lack clarity on how the parties intend to improve workers' rights and create jobs. "There is broad consensus across parties on the importance of agriculture, local processing, and housing. The Popular Democratic Movement (PDM) has taken the most concrete step forward, proposing that those earning below N$4,500 be provided housing. If implemented, this would make a dramatic difference," stated Jauch. Meanwhile, first-time voter and social justice activist Nafimane Hamukoshi criticised the manifestos for offering little beyond vague promises with no plans for transformative change. "Regarding employment, they mentioned various strategies to address unemployment and initiatives to revive the economy, but the key issue is how they plan to implement these measures," she said. Hamukoshi urged young people to hold political parties accountable, using social media as a tool for advocacy, engaging in civic education, and writing articles to newspapers to push for real change.
