Two ruling party MPs have called for constitutional reforms to make the country more democratic.Tati-East MP Samson Guma Moyo and Wynter Mmolotsi of Francistown East said in Parliament yesterday that the constitution is outdated and needs to be amended. The legislators were responding to President Ian Khama's State of the Nation Address.

Moyo vowed that pushing for constitutional reforms is going to be his main task in the current Parliament. He told Parliament that  Africa does not need strong leaders but strong institutions.  "We need to make sure that we have strong institutions," he said. He added that when the current constitution was drafted, none of the legislators was there. "We need to review it. I am going to advocate for that," he charged. 

He said law and order is very important and should apply to everyone.  The MP said there should be no selective justice.  "We should be very careful when we apply our laws," he warned.
