| Namibia's Constitution makes provision for central, regional and
local Levels of government. The central government consists of the
legislature or parliament ( the National Assembly and national
Council), the judiciary (Supreme, High and Lower Courts) and the
executive (the President, Cabinet and 19 Ministries).
At regional level, there are 13 political regions, comprising of
102 constituencies. These were first demarcated in 1993 for purposes
of regional representation. Local governments or authorities are
provided for by the proclamation of settled
areas as municipalities,
towns and villages. |
