Tati West legislator fends off potential backlash :: Mmegi Online

In damage control mode, and a particular bid to justify his arbitrary decision, Tati West Member of Parliament (MP) Simon Moabi is traversing the length and breadth of his constituency with a specific brief on how he arrived at his decision to divert the 2023-24 constituency fund to the construction of the Mbalambi/Sekakangwe/Kalakamati road.

Though government last year issued a directive to the effect that President Mokgweetsi Masisi had taken a decision that constituency fund money be used for construction, upgrade and maintenance of internal roads, the decision by Moabi to divert the funds to the construction of a link road appears to run against the gravamen of the directive.

Upon the announcement of the decision by the North East District Council (NEDC) that the MP had taken that solo decision on how the 2023-24 constituency fund was going to be used, many village leadership representatives expressed their displeasure at the decision.
