BCP candidate targets pit latrines in Gaborone

Speaking at his launch over the weekend, Chengeta said that it was disheartening that the Gaborone City Council (GCC) and the Ministry of Wildlife, Environment and Tourism has failed to come up with a solution to phase out pit latrines in Gaborone West.

Chengeta said that Botsalo Ntuane the ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) Specially Elected MP, who is standing for elections in the area and the incumbent legislator Robert Molefhabagwe of the Botswana National Front (BNF) have failed to speak out about the problem of pit latrines in Parliament. "Ntuane and Molefhabangwe have to come to the people and explain what they have been doing since 2004," said Chengeta. He added that pit latrines are a health hazard and must be phased out urgently.
