Protesting MPs snub Parliament

Business at the National Assembly was forced to end at 11am, two hours ahead of schedule, after MPs left in a huff and failed to return.

Matters came to a head when Francistown West legislator, Ignatius Moswaane attempted to table a motion to probe the BNYC for corruption and irregular labour practices in the retrenchment of workers at the organisation. Deputy Speaker, Kagiso Molatlhegi said the motion could not be tabled, as it had not complied with the Standing Orders.
