Morwaeng defends defiant legislators, blames opposition

Speaking to the media on Thursday, he stated that the defiant MPs were merely exercising their constitutional rights. "As a democratic nation, we respect the right of members to vote according to their conscience. However, it is unfortunate that this has resulted in denying Batswana a constitutional bill that could have advanced their interests. We intended to incorporate provisions on health rights, education rights, the right to strike, and work rights into the constitution. This bill was a significant step forward," he explained.

Morwaeng also called on Batswana to vote against opposition parties in the upcoming elections. He asserted that the government had completed all necessary steps for the constitutional review process, and that the Commission had properly followed the procedures, including issuing a report and recommendations.
