UDC doesn't care about Parly – Saleshando :: Mmegi Online

Leader of Opposition (LoO) and Botswana Congress Party (BCP) president Dumelang Saleshando has accused the ruling coalition Umbrella for Democratic Change of showing a lack of care and respect for Parliament, highlighting that proceedings had to be adjourned a few times after the required one-third could not be met.

Addressing the media yesterday following the closure of the budget meeting, Saleshando said a lot needs to be worked on. Saleshando sounded the horn on the low attendance by Members of Parliament (MP) during Parliamentary sessions, bemoaning that it is unparliamentary on all angles.

“There is an issue of attendance in Parliament. It's been an issue as on a few occasions Parliament adjourned because we did not form a quorum, and these are matters that are addressed at a meeting at the General Assembly,” Saleshando said.
