TK's case exposes BDP double standards :: Mmegi Online

Hypocrisy of the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) leadership reared its ugly head in a case that the Serowe West MP Tshekedi Khama is suing the party. It is common cause that when the branch committee vetted out their MP for abandoning the constituency, the central committee overruled them, Staff Writer TSAONE BASIMANEBOTLHE reports

The BDP secretary general, Mpho Balopi has indicated in his affidavit that the branch committee says Khama had not bothered addressing his electorate after being elected or appraise them on the issues that are being discussed in Parliament.

Balopi says Khama had not visited the constituency not even once to thank the electorate since he was elected but they used their discretion as Central Committee to approve Khama’s candidacy so that members of Serowe West constituency would elect a candidate of their choice. He emphasised that the reasons given by the branch committee were quite weighty.
