Khama dissolves parliament

He was addressing members of the House on the same day, which coincidentally is the birthday of Margaret Nasha, the Speaker of the National Assembly.

“As the final session of this the 10th Parliament draws to a close, and as the 7th of August is the last day of its sitting, I considered it appropriate to join you this afternoon in order to announce the date of dissolution, as well as the date for the holding of general and local elections,” he said.
