MPs reject motion to save BMC�s sinking ship

When opposing the motion, MPs fired that BMC is a burden to government. Gaborone Central MP Dumelang Saleshando said government had attempted to rescue the parastatal on several occasions with no success.

He further said sensitive issues pertaining to finances could not be tabled before parliament within short notice as parliament had to be briefed on the terms and conditions of the contract. Saleshando argued that since BMC’s dismal performance in the market, there had been no official updates on developments. He said its imperative for parliamentarians to read the agreement document to assess whether BMC’s plea is valid.
