Namibia: Nujoma Pooh-Poohs UN Claims

allAfrica.com: "A member of the recently formed Committee on the [Welfare of] Ex-combatants, Alex Kamwi, has claimed that a UN official, Nicholas Bwakira, promised combatants demobilisation packages of US$80 000 each during a meeting in Luanda, Angola, in July 1989.

On Saturday, Nujoma said "hallucinations" about the involvement of the UN in the affairs of Plan should be rejected and condemned with the contempt they deserved.

He said that the Swapo Party Government would continue to monitor and review the socio-economic conditions of those who participated in the liberation struggle with a view to improving their living standards."
