Member of Parliament Lieutenant Frederick Shitana, representing the Affirmative Repositioning (AR) movement, is scheduled to deliver his maiden speech in the National Assembly this afternoon at 14:00.

Shitana, a prominent Namibian artist and social activist, was nominated to Parliament by AR leader Job Amupanda and occupies the eighth position on the movement’s parliamentary list. His appointment has been widely welcomed by members of the creative industry and civil society, who view his presence in the legislature as a critical step toward broader representation and policy advocacy.

In his maiden address, Shitana is expected to outline his legislative priorities, with a focus on strengthening the creative economy, promoting youth participation in governance, and enhancing transparency and accountability within public institutions.

His transition from the cultural sector into national politics reflects a growing recognition of the need for diverse voices in Parliament. As a first-time legislator, his contribution is anticipated to bring a fresh perspective on long-standing issues affecting Namibia’s youth and artistic communities.

This afternoon’s session will be broadcast live through the official Parliament communication channels.
