BDP moves to kill Saleshando bill

FRANCISTOWN: Legislator Dumelang Saleshando's recent private member's bill on disclosure of assets and liabilities by national leaders has apparently stirred a hornet's nest in the government enclave, Mmegi has learnt.

The ruling Botswana Democratic Party is said to be moving frantically to kill Saleshando's bill and replace it with a new cabinet-sanctioned bill to be brought to Parliament by Presidential Affairs Minister, Lesego Motsumi. It was at a BDP MPs caucus this week that BDP MPs were told of these new moves to outmanoeuvre the opposition MP.
