Namibia: Hengari Defends Indecisive Mbumba On Anti-Gay Bills

President Nangolo Mbumba is not in a rush to sign private members’ bill outlawing gay sex in Namibia into law.

This is because he has been consulting widely and wants to deal with the issue in a manner that is fair, transparent and caters to everyone’s rights, press secretary Alfredo Hengari says.

Speaking to Desert Radio on Monday, Hengari said Mbumba is not under any pressure to sign the bill into law as it needs due consideration and deals with issues that affect the rights of other Namibians.
