Botswana Congress Party (BCP) president Dumelang Saleshando has raised serious concerns over the proposed comprehensive review of the Constitution and the establishment of a Constitutional Court, describing the entire process as deeply flawed and a major red flag for the country.

When addressing the media yesterday, Saleshando said the BCP will actively campaign against the proposed changes when the planned referendum eventually takes place on Constitutional Court and the Comprehensive Constitution Review, which are about to start. According to him, the manner in which the government is handling the process undermines both public trust and democratic principles.

Saleshando recalled that when the ruling party was still in the opposition, there was a clear consensus on how a comprehensive constitutional review should be conducted. He stressed that public education should be the first and most critical step before any formal processes are initiated.
