BNF, Moatlhodi saga besmirch parliamentary independence

After granting Moatlhodi reprieve last week, the BDP central committee made it very clear that the persistent pleading from the delegation from the Tonota constituency moved them.

So, it is out of pity that Moatlhodi's dismissal has been revoked; not out of any recognition that he transgressed some key democratic tenets. The BDP said nothing about the independence of parliament and the privilege that Moatlhodi enjoys as an MP to freely express his views in there.
