Parliamentary motions between 1998 and 2008(Mogae Legacy)

Between 1998 and 2008 MPs from both the ruling party and opposition proposed 217 motions, the majority of which were never debated. According to records from Parliament, only nine motions were adopted during the current Ninth Parliament, while the status of others is unknown.

However, during the Eighth Parliament, MP for Gaborone West South (then Gaborone West) tabled a motion calling for the appointment of a commission of inquiry into the allocation of some residential and commercial plots in Gaborone. The commission was appointed and it emerged that some malls, schools, filling stations, and residential areas were built on plots allocated under dubious circumstances. The Directorate on Corruption and Economic Crime (DCEC) and Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP) have charged some culprits and shelved other cases.
