Members Snub COSBOTS AGM

Independent organisation, Botswana Council of Non-Governmental Organisations (BOCONGO) was supposed to handle the electoral process to be decided by a show of hands, but only 104 members showed up. No business could be transacted at the general meeting unless a quorum of at least 710 members was present. In total, COSBOTS has more than 1,300 members who are eligible to vote and were supposed to either cast their vote in person or by proxy.

According to COSBOTS constitution, if within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting a quorum is not formed, the meeting should be dissolved.
