The Monitor: We understand that the six BNF MPs have claimed ignorance of the party's central committee resolution that the seat of the Leader of Opposition should rotate between the BNF and the BMD, and that Botsalo Ntuane of the BMD should continue to hold fort until the two parties agree on a replacement from the BNF. Does this mean that the BNF central committee made a resolution binding the party MPs and did not bother to inform them about it?
Boko: We have a good relationship with our party MPs. You must also realise that MPs are also members of various party structures and as such are in positions to be informed of central committee resolutions, especially resolutions of a general nature. But concerning the January 21, meeting, I think it was important to communicate the resolutions quickly and inform them. The press wrote about the resolutions. On the other hand, the party secretariat should have given the MPs the resolutions. Between the day of the meeting and the day when the coup was announced in parliament, the secretariat should have communicated to the MPs. On top of that the secretariat should also have communicated with the BMD leadership and informed them of our resolution regarding rotating the post ofleader of opposition. All these were not done.
