October 9, 2026
Rinaani Musutua, coordinator and spokesperson for the Basic Income Grant Coalition of Namibia, discusses the Ministry of Gender Equality and Child Welfare’s decision to suspend new registrations for the conditional basic income grant due to depleted funding.
She addresses the inadequacy of the N$600 monthly amount against daily nutritional costs, criticises government priorities, and advocates for alternative funding strategies like taxing the rich and addressing illicit financial flows to support a universal basic income grant.
