\nMuniaro confirmed that he received the invitation and said that he intends to attend the consultative meeting on the subject on Friday.
\n\u201cAt this stage I cannot say which of the other unions in the federation will attend, but the NUNW will reply with a letter on Thursday in which we will express our intent to attend the meeting to find out how such a platform would be structured.\u201d
\nPrime Minister Kuugongelwa-Amadhila has been holding consultations with different stakeholders such as State Owned Enterprises, the private sector, Public Servant\u2019s Bargaining Trade Unions, NAPWU and NANTU.
\n\u201cSince this proposal is affecting all Namibians, the NUNW is invited to bring other affiliated Union to this meeting to discuss the above proposal which has been endorsed by cabinet, for a once off percent voluntary contribution from the monthly basic salaries of all Namibians, including public office bearers.\u201d Kuugongelwa Amadhila requested.
\nThe proceeds of the initiative would be ring fenced nd directed to address the plight facing Namibians due to the drought and also to fund youth skills and entrepreneurship programmes.<\/span><\/p>\n
