However, the idea was shot down on the grounds that PAP is specifically dealing with African issues and that the problem could be addressed through other forums such as the United Nations. The MPs said that the Arabs were not happy with the answer and they stormed out of the meeting in protest. Besides Kokorwe, Botswana MPs in PAP are Keletso Rakhudu, Olebile Gaborone, Boyce Sebetela and Maitlhoko Mooka. The PAP was formed in 2004 as an advisory body to the African Union (AU). However, the Botswana MPs said that in the near future, the 53-AU member will be legislative and have more powers. They said PAP gets funding from AU but there are some states that are defaulting in paying annual subscriptions. PAP recently launched an initiative to seek funding from international organisations. PAP has an annual budget of between US$10 million (about P60 million and US$15 million (P90million).

The recent PAP meeting discussed political unrest in the continent and sent a mission to observe troubled countries such as Sudan and Somalia. Regional migration was part of the agenda during the meeting with the finding that the slave trade is still practised in some parts of the continent. The MPs said that children are sold to some companies to work on farms while girls are sold as sex workers. They promised to fight the problem. The African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) and New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) also featured in the discussions. The MPs said that APRM is optional but advised that Botswana, which has not signed, should join it. They, however, said that they understand Botswana's reluctance to sign for APRM because some aspects of its governance are constantly reviewed by international organisations such as International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank, and Transparency International. They said that APRM's problem is that some of the member states do not respect human rights, have poor governance and civil unrests. However, they said that they would table a motion in the Botswana Parliament to request government to consider joining APRM.
