BCP to sue Khama over Merafhe, Venson-Moitoi

Yesterday, BCP president and Leader of Opposition, Dumelang Saleshando wrote a letter to the Attorney General to explain the recent controversial reshuffle and whether Khama is empowered to make laws on pensions for selected political officers without approval of Parliament. He has given Attorney General, Dr Athaliah Molokomme seven days to respond to the letter.

In the cabinet reshuffle, Khama caused confusion by shifting already serving ministers to head two portfolios in an acting capacity and giving Education Minister, Pelonomi Venson-Moitoi, a six-month sabbatical and appointing her to head a unit in her ministry. Venson-Moitoi maintains that she is still in the cabinet after some said she has been sacked while others questioned the legality of her redeployment.
