Despite Cabinet having ministers, assistant ministers and the deputy speaker using official vehicles for constituency duty, the Speaker of the National Assembly, Phandu Skelemani has refused the Leader of Opposition (LoO), Dumelang Saleshando, the same.

While fellow legislators on constituency duty were afforded the privilege, Saleshando found he was denied similar right when he needed a vehicle for official business in Maun West constituency where he was to hold meetings. In a letter dated May 12, 2020 to Saleshando, Skelemani reminded the Maun West legislator to recall his request and their meeting on May 9, in the presence of the deputy clerk, Lesedi Gaolaolwe.

“After the meeting, I phoned to inform you that your request to use the official vehicle to go to your constituency was not approved,” Skelemani said.
