Opposition ready for constitutional reform

Last week President Mokgweetsi Masisi appointed a constitutional review advisory team for the ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP). The four-man committee’s sole mandate will be to advise the party prior to its submissions to the commission that will be tasked with reviewing the Constitution of the country. The national constitutional review process is set to commence soon according to Masisi.

This week, Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) spokesperson, Moeti Mohwasa said parties in the coalition have started working on their submissions for the national constitutional review. He, however, said that more details on the submissions will be made once the terms of reference for the national constitutional review have been completed.
