Towards a People’s Constitution for Botswana

A constitution, developed through wide consultations with the people it is intended to serve, is more likely to be a widely accepted and respected document than one crafted behind the scenes and foisted onto the people. This seems to be the pith or fulcrum of ‘Towards A People’s Constitution for Botswana’, one of four recent books by Justice Oagile Bethuel Key Dingake.
Last year, I reviewed two of Dingake’s books, namely: ‘Judges’ and ‘In Pursuit of Justice’. I promised to review the remaining two books, being: ‘Towards A People’s Constitution for Botswana’ (which I review here) and ‘Lawyers’, which I will review soon – time permitting. Notion Press (India, Singapore and Malaysia) published all these books, which are available on online platforms, including Amazon and as Kindle eBooks. ‘Towards A People’s Constitution for Botswana’ was published towards the end 2020.
Fiji Constitutional Commission Unfazed By Criticisms Submitted by admin on Wed, 08/22/2012 - 00:00
Yash Ghai says commission not pressured by Bainimarama’s comments
WELLINGTON, New Zealand (Radio New Zealand International, Aug. 21, 2012) – The Chairman of Fiji’s Constitution Commission, Yash Ghai, has brushed off criticism from the leader of the Fiji regime that he is being pressured by non-governmental organizations and politicians.
Last week, Commodore Frank Bainimarama chided Professor Ghai in an interview with local media, saying he should not be holding private meetings with such groups.
He also reminded the five commissioners they hold quasi judicial positions and needed to be independent.
