Debt puts UDC in trouble

The UDC is an opposition coalition featuring Botswana People’s Party (BPP), Botswana National Front (BNF) and Botswana Congress Party (BCP). The UDC head of communications and strategy team, Moeti Mohwasa was reportedly given the task of engaging the service providers.

There are allegations that the BCP is of the view that the suppliers were engaged without its full knowledge. In addition, other allegations are that when engaging suppliers, Mohwasa acted solely at the instruction of UDC President Duma Boko without the input of other NEC members in the coalition. This, as a result, has reportedly created tension within the UDC.
