BOPEU members call for removal of the board :: Mmegi Online

PALAPYE: The just ended Botswana Public Employees Union (BOPEU) central executive committee meeting was awash with rumours that members will pass a motion of no confidence on the entire union leadership over the financial situation that resulted in the dismissal former president Andrew Motsamai. But that was not to be.

Instead, in one of the commissions that presented on Wednesday morning, a recommendation was made to the effect that the board of trustees be removed from office.

The union president Masego Mogwera said during an interview that she only heard rumours about intentions of passing a motion of no confidence on the national executive committee in the corridors. She explained that constitutionally a motion should come 60 days before the sitting and that the secretariat should have circulated it throughout the branches as well as that all logistics for fresh elections should be done so that there is no vacuum leadership.
