In its submissions LEGABIBO has also said that it is of the view that the Executive, specifically the Cabinet must be appointed from non-political persons.

FRANCISTOWN: Lesbians, Gays & Bisexuals of Botswana (LEGABIBO) want the Constitution to make it compulsory for one of the specially elected members of Parliament to be a human rights defender or belong to any human rights-centred organisation.

LEGABIBO is a human rights advocacy group whose main objective is seeking legal and social rights for the LGBTQI+ community in Botswana.

The move according to LEGABIBO Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Thato Moruti, will ensure that the issues affecting key populations and general human rights advocacy are well articulated in Parliament.
