However, the leaders of the DTA and CoD had to acknowledge that the answers to their questions had already been covered in the President's address.

Both Katuutire Kaura and Ben Ulenga said they wanted to know how soon the Anti-Corruption Commission would be implemented.

Ulenga took it a step further, requesting that the findings of Presidential Commissions of Inquiry be made public.

Pohamba said he was still finding his feet wading through the tons of books and documents he had found at State House, and that it was premature to make such a promise.

"Ask me that question next time I come here," he said.

Another concern raised by Kaura was that Parliament was not exercising its legislative powers fully because of the large number of executive members in the House.

The DTA leader wanted to know whether Pohamba intended to reduce the size of the Cabinet.

"There is no thought of reducing Cabinet," Pohamba said firmly, adding he had spent three months mulling the composition of his Cabinet.

"All the members of Cabinet are appointed in terms of the Constitution and no one, especially not a Member of Parliament, will stand up and challenge that."

MAG MP Jurie Viljoen raised the issue of land reform.

Viljoen said farmers were living in a state of "uncertainty" and asked whether it was not "desirable" and "in the national interest" that Government draw up a transparency policy to allay these fears.

Pohamba said he could not respond unless he knew why they felt uncertain and invited Viljoen to State House to discuss the matter.

The President said he was pleased that a number of opposition party leaders had come to discuss how they could contribute to Government's development plans, and singled out Kaura as one who had not yet paid a visit.

Nudo leader Herero Paramount Chief Kuaima Riruako took issue with Pohamba referring to the "Swapo Government", maintaining that it was "our Government".

Pohamba's reply was blunt.

He told him to "face reality".

"If it was your party that won, we could always refer to it as the Nudo government.

I don't know why you are questioning this unquestionable issue," Pohamba responded.

Republican Party leader Henk Mudge used his opportunity to ask for the President's views on how the "previously advantaged" could assist Government in developing the country.

In response, Pohamba singled out sharing their vast tracts of lands with those who had none.

Pohamba reminded Mudge that Government was prepared to pay for the land.

"I have always said we want to see evolution, not revolution.

In order to avoid revolution in this country, let's talk to them to share land with those who have none," he said.
