At Wednesday's press conference Bishop Dr. Z. Kameeta called on President Pohamba to establish a consultative forum on the national introduction of a Basic Income Grant. He recommended that the Bank of Namibia, the Finance Ministry, the National Planning Commission, the NAMTAX members and the BIG Coalition should be called together and in a three month process seriously discuss the BIG based on the experience of the Otjivero-Omitara community. Bishop Kameeta said that the recent remarks rejecting the BIG proposal by the President are not helpful and are in fact an insult to the poor.
