FRANCISTOWN: The Botswana Sector of Educators Trade Union (BOSETU) has expressed concern about government’s reluctance to fully apprise the nation on the status of the constitutional review process.

The union also said the government's posture suggests that little is being done to act on the recommendations of the Constitutional Review Commission. The country is currently in the process of amending its Constitution.

It is anticipated that the refined Constitution will feature key elements contained in the findings of the Constitutional Review Commission. The commission was appointed by President Mokgweetsi Masisi to tour the country soliciting views that will be incorporated into the new constitution. However, since the committee completed its task of collecting views from Batswana, nothing much has been said.
