Independent Presidential Candidate Ally Angula, has clarified that she did not promise to increase old age pension to N$ 2700 as per media reports, but her proposal is for a slight increase of N$ 150 for the pensioners.
She stated that her main focus is on the youth and everyone else who is not getting financial assistance from the government budget. A budget that should cater to as many Namibians as possible as per the constitution article 95.
“Those that are aged between 18 to 59 to receive a monthly hand-up amount of N$ 1750 per month for a period of three months. So the target is not the elderly, although for the elder, the proposal is for them to get a slight increase of N$ 150 to get to the same amount of N$ 1750,” said Angula
