MediaWiki is a wiki engine, and is therefore based around the open content, free-to-edit model. As such, there is no direct support for per-namespace restriction in the manner described.
However, this is a somewhat frequently asked question, and so I suggest you search both http://meta.wikimedia.org and http://www.mediawiki.org for "access restrictions" and the like, and see if anything useful comes up. This would likely be in the form of an extension.

Thanks for that Rob Church
I am aware of the MW's philosophy.
I have succesfully enforced name space based restriction using MW 1.5.1
But since it was not enough, I added the extension that I found here
http://blog.epistemographer.com/?p=238
Then I customized it such that I can restrict not just users but also groups.
Then I also wrote some more code to manage the pages so that we can batch update the rights.
All the credit goes to the communtiy.
Kudos to the community
Sorry, did I say extension? I meant ugly hack.
