𝗕𝗖𝗣 𝗖𝗛𝗜𝗘𝗙 𝗪𝗛𝗜𝗣 𝗪𝗔𝗡𝗧𝗦 𝗗𝗘𝗣𝗨𝗧𝗬 𝗦𝗣𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗘𝗥 𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗥 𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗜𝗦𝗔𝗡 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗗𝗨𝗖𝗧 Botswana Congress Party (BCP) Opposition Chief Whip and Maun West MP Caterpillar Hikuama has called for the Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly to step down, accusing her of compromising the impartiality and integrity of Parliament. In a letter addressed to the Speaker of the National Assembly, the MP raises concerns over leaked communications attributed to the Deputy Speaker, which appear to instruct members of the ruling caucus on how to use parliamentary business to counter the Opposition. The communication also reportedly urged Cabinet ministers to provide MPs with questions from their respective ministries, particularly in areas including health, education, labour and home affairs, lands and agriculture, and local government. The BCP Chief Whip argues that such coordination undermine Parliament’s constitutional role as an institution responsible for holding the Executive to account. “The Executive and the legislature must remain distinct, with the Presiding Officers acting as fair custodians of the House rather than managers of party strategy,” the letter states. Hikuama further argues that the alleged directive to use parliamentary instruments to “dim BCP limelight” amounts to interference with the Opposition’s ability to represent its constituents and scrutinise government policy. The letter also takes issue with the alleged encouragement of ruling-party backbenchers to ask questions prepared by ministries, arguing that this could reduce parliamentary proceedings to what it describes as “scripted PR exercises.” The BCP Chief Whip says the Speaker’s office must remain above partisan political manoeuvring and ensure that all parties are treated fairly under Parliament’s Standing Orders. “If a Presiding Officer openly uses their position to coordinate political strategy and manipulate the Order Paper, the impartiality of the Office is severely compromised,” the letter argues. Hikuama has consequently called on the Deputy Speaker to relinquish her presiding role, saying she should be free to pursue partisan political interests from the floor of the House if that is her position. He has also requested an urgent meeting with the Speaker to discuss the matter and to ensure that the Order Paper for the remainder of the parliamentary sitting is not subjected to what the MP describes as “artificial manipulation.” #weekendpost #Insightful

𝗔𝟯 𝗥𝗢𝗔𝗗 𝗥𝗘𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗨𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗥𝗪𝗔𝗬 Reconstruction and upgrading works on the A3 highway between Nata and Gweta are underway, marking a significant step towards improving Botswana’s road infrastructure. The Ministry of Road and Infrastructure says the upgrades will enhance road safety by addressing potholes and poor surface conditions, which contribute to vehicle damage and road accidents. The 100-kilometre project, which also includes an access road to Tsokotshaa, is being led by HSNV Group, the appointed development manager responsible for the reconstruction and upgrading works. The A3 is a critical economic route, supporting tourism to the Okavango Delta, cattle movement and the transportation of goods to and from northern Botswana. The road also provides an important link to the Kazungula Bridge and the Trans-Kalahari Corridor, strengthening Botswana’s regional trade and transport connectivity. The ministry says government remains committed to delivering quality road infrastructure to communities across the country.
