Kokorwe expressed satisfaction at how the parliament carried out its debates and on the resolutions reached despite some challenges. "We debated the budget for the coming financial year. You have to remember that last year we had requested for a budget of about $11.9 million and we were given only about $7.8 million. We have always had financial limitations because we do not get enough compared to what we ask for," explained Kokorwe. However, she said the house seemed to understand that the African Union, from which the Parliament sources funds, has limited financial capacity given that it still struggles to get full funds from member countries. "As we speak," continued Kokorwe, "there are member countries that have defaulted on their payments for the umpteenth time. That makes it difficult for the AU to deliver its program fully."

The Parliament discussed, among others, the Peer Review Mechanism and the Parliament's observer missions to hotspots around the continent. Some countries have signed to the Peer Review and have gone through the process of being reviewed. Botswana is yet to sign but Kokorwe hopes it will. "I would say that in time I hope that we could be involved in those initiatives if only to prove that our democracy is good too. If a team gets here and reviews us and finds that we are a good democracy then it will be good for our reputation. We should also be seen to be taking some of these initiatives seriously," she explained.

MP Gaborone said the session also discussed such issues as the recent presidential elections in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

"There was a debate as to whether we should urge losing contender Pierre Bemba to accept the results or not. Some colleagues felt that we had to do so while others felt that, perhaps, since the matter was sub-judice, we could find ourselves at odds with the courts. Ultimately, we did not make the statement."

On the administrative issues, members agreed to keep the administrative arm of the parliament as professional as possible. "We were worried that perhaps there could be some individuals within some influential positions who would favour people from their particular region," said Gaborone.

"If that was to happen we would not be able to keep the full diversity of the continents' people in the sections. Furthermore, we need to keep those corrupt elements far from the parliament as a matter of principle."

According to the official website of the parliament MPs urged the AU to establish a continental observer structure for elections to oversee elections in member states. They also urged the international community to help the newly elected leadership of the DRC. The session commenced on the 13th and ended on the 24th of November.
