The popular image of a parliament is of a uniquely respected, honourable house, whose democratic legitimacy rests on some constitutional order.

As such, one expects exemplary decorum in the house. Sadly, the contrary is true with the current (11th) Parliament.

Arrogance, deceit, sheer dishonesty, lies, egos and all their overt manifestations lie at the heart of the Executive operational machinery. Ministers for instance, have developed big-headed contempt in their responses to questions from ordinary members of parliament. Comical retorts - “NO”, “that is in the public domain”, blah blah, - now possess supremacy in the house, in clear contrast to required decorum and principles of good governance. Sometimes it would be deliberate subterfuges and falsehoods as in the case of Hon Tshekedi Khama’s response to my own questions.
