Billy wants Khama to account to Parley

Tuesday, December 13, 2016

The MP for Francistown East, Buti Billy says it is time for President Ian Khama to account to Parliament. Responding to the State of Nation Address (SONA), the Botswana Democratic Party MP said Khama should come and listen to debates in the House and answer to questions that will be posed to him by MPs.
