Rari survives 'coup'

Four members Tshetsana Motsatsing, Namwaka Shamukuni, Carthage Kenosi and Matthews Masole accused Rari of deliberately altering a constitutional clause, in the process fabricating a resolution of a national congress in order to prolong his stay in office.

They wanted Justice Chris Gabanagae at the Gaborone High Court to declare that the alteration of the clause in question was “fraudulent and therefore unlawful”, that the original clause be restored, that the SG position be declared vacant because Rari is holding such office unlawfully and that BOSETU should hold fresh elections for the SG position within 21 days of the order being made.
