Leaders should account - MP

The Member of Parliament for Selebi-Phikwe West Dithapelo Keorapetse is set to table a motion in Parliament requesting for a law that will make it compulsory for the Head of State to attend parliament proceedings. This will make them more accountable to the nation, he said.

Commenting on the State of the Nation Address yesterday, he said that Botswana should emulate standards of other developed countries where the head of state is bound to participate in parliament and responds to questions from MPs.
