BDC rot: Should it have come to this?

Last week, South East South Member of Parliament (MP) Odirile Motlhale brought a motion calling on the House to institute a select committee to probe allegations of corruption at Botswana Development Corporation (BDC).

We salute Motlhale because he has demonstrated that before an MP comes to the House to table such a motion, he must do his or her homework. His research into the rot and clear presentation of his case helped other MPs to make a decision on the matter - to vote for or against the motion.
