Ntuane Challenges Merafhe

"He must assure the nation that there is nothing to fear from security forces," said Ntuane when contributing to President Ian Khama's State of the Nation address last week. 

The outspoken legislator said that people are even afraid to make phone calls because they suspect that their phones are bugged. "I want to believe that it is the duty of the government to say to the nation that 'you can speak freely on your phone as nobody can bug your phone'.  Let us get this assurance. I don't want to believe that in an open society people should cower in fear," he said.
