Mmegi requests to live stream parliamentary proceedings

In his letter to Dithapo, Mmegi editor Oarabile Mosikare said the publication sincerely believe that the parliamentary proceedings are of national importance and public interest in this era of 4th Industrial Revolution and electorate should watch live the performance of their elected representatives in Parliament.

“There is no doubt in our minds that live streaming the proceedings of Parliament will not only be good for transparency, but will be a great service to members of the general public as they follow proceedings unfolding in real time.  Kindly be advised that if you turn down our proposal we will apply to the High Court to have it done,” he wrote. Dithapo is expected to respond to the letter very soon turning down the requesting citing some parliamentary standing orders.
