Tuesday, July 25, 2017

Keorapetse had tabled a motion that Parliament resolve to review the Constitution of the Republic of Botswana. The country’s Constitution was drafted in 1963 prior to Botswana’s Independence and has never been holistically reviewed.

However, Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) MPs rejected it through a vote saying it was not necessary to review the Constitution as it has served the country well for 50 years.
