In one of his Facebook posts, the president of Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) Advocate Duma Boko says that as long as he is at the helm there will be order inside the Botswana National Front (BNF) and the Moono family.

The post is characterised by veiled threats against those who are becoming impatient with the obvious stalemate in the UDC and are calling for progress. His henchmen label the BNF Central Committee as renegades, a term of late associated with Advocate Sydney Pilane, president of Botswana Movement for Democracy (BMD). To claim that there is order within the UDC is far from the truth unless people are in denial. This is the right time to introspect.

The truth is that there is frustration and helplessness amongst the general membership over lack of progress on all critical issues that dominated the recent Congress. These include revision of the constitution and submission of the final document to Registrar of Societies as well as allocation of constituencies taking into account the historic violent split of BMD.  That this has not happened cannot be blamed on any external force.
