Deputy Speaker Denounces Parliament Time Wasters

This came after Tati East Legislator, Moyo Guma, quiried why ministers who were to take some questions had not told the Speaker that they would not be in. “Did the ministers tell you that they would be absent? This is so not fair. We can’t be skipping so many items while people knew that they had questions to answer,” he said.

In response, Molatlhegi said the ministers in question Kitso Mokaila, Tshenolo Mabeo and Sadique Kebonang had not told him that they will not be in. “This is very worrisome. We tend to waste a lot of time while we have so many motions and questions. The ministers know that they should always tell me when they cannot make it to Parliament. The same applies to you legislators, you must always let us know when you will not be in,” he said.
