The Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) chief whip, Fidelis Molao, says they plan on engaging opposition party legislators over the Parliamentary committees issue.

Speaking during a press conference called by BDP Members of Parliament (MPs) on Tuesday, Molao said they have informed the Speaker of the National Assembly about their intentions to negotiate with their opposition colleagues.

“I have even related the message to Leader of Opposition Duma Boko about our intentions. But it should be clear that we are willing to do that provided they re-visit their decision of withdrawing from parliamentary committees.
