Seepapitso cited cases where government officials are sponsored to travel within the country and beyond any time they wished "whilst Dikgosi have to kneel down for weeks" before a trip could be approved. "Even travelling to Mochudi - just around the corner - we have to beg for at least two weeks before we can be given money to go on official trips. But Members of Parliament (MPs) and ministers travel throughout the country and even beyond borders. They should allow us to travel so that we can be knowledgeable about issues concerning our country," he told the House.
Kgosi Lotlaamoreng of Borolong concurred with Seepapitso that government is undermining Bogosi. He was speaking during the question and answer session after he complained that the Minister of Local Government, Margaret Nasha, had given two conflicting answers to a question he tabled in 2006 on why the Department of Tribal Administration has withdrawn the items of casual labour, temporary assistance, furniture and general maintenance from the district financial warrants. Kgosi Lotlaamoreng said Nasha answered, in 2006, that the withdrawal was an administrative error that would be rectified. "Today you are giving a different story, this is a sign that you have no respect for Bogosi," charged Lotlaamoreng.
