He berated some legislators for casting aspersions on others during the debate on the address delivered by President Ian Khama. He cited Mogoditshane legislator, Patrick Masimolole for slamming Khama's boot-lickers without naming names. "We should not come here and behave as if we are angry with ourselves and the whole world. My confidence in some of the members has been shaken. Let us stop playing games," he appealed.
He said talking in parables and calling each other names is very unfair. He criticised the BDP MP for Gaborone West South, Botsalo Ntuane, for saying he does not support the specially election of MPs. He said after serving for five years as a specially elected MP, Ntuane has suddenly discovered that the system is undemocratic. He dismissed Ntuane's statement that if he had lost the elections, he would have not agreed to be a nominated MP again as absolutely superfluous. He added that Ntuane did not expect to be specially elected and this was why he was making such utterances. He dismissed those grumbling about the nomination of councillors, saying they would have nominated their cronies if given the chance.
