Mmegi this morning wrote to the Clerk of National Assembly Barbara Dithapo requesting for permission to live stream parliamentary proceedings on its Mmegi social media platforms.

In his letter to Dithapo, Mmegi editor Oarabile Mosikare said the publication sincerely believe that the parliamentary proceedings are of national importance and public interest in this era of 4th Industrial Revolution and electorate should watch live the performance of their elected representatives in Parliament.

Dithapo is expected to respond to the letter very soon turning down the requesting citing some parliamentary standing orders.
