Khama urged to be more active in Parliament

At a forum organised by BOCONGO (Botswana Council of Non-Governmental Organisations) to discuss the President's State of the Nation Address yesterday in Gaborone, Dr Zibani Maundeni said that Khama is an MP and has the rights as a legislator.He said that it will be interesting for Khama to put his ideas before the Parliament instead of making announcements on policy issues through the media.

"We expect him to be active in Parliament, but we are not aware of the deliberations that go behind the announcements that he usually makes on Btv (Botswana Television). But if he was active in Parliament, we would have an opportunity to appreciate the process of putting his ideas forward by taking it through debate in Parliament. That is what happens in an active democracy," he said.
