Paranoia and anxiety rules Khama�s world?

The short-lived standoff between Khama and Parliament was primarily caused by the president’s paranoia and acute state of insecurity, highly placed sources within the ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) have revealed.

At the centre of Khama’s decision to go to court over amendments to Parliament’s Standing Orders that allow for the secret ballot in election of the vice president is overwhelming fear that BDP MPs were not going to endorse his preferred choice.
