The refusal by President Khama to appoint a judge recommended for appointment by the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) has further exposed what some have called the fraudulent nature of the document we call our constitution.
Per our constitution the President cannot be sued either in his personal or his official capacity. In other words, while president, he can disregard any sanction that the constitution has on his activities as a citizen of the republic. At the same time, in taking his oath of office he swore to obey, uphold and protect the same document – the constitution. It makes no sense to me.
How do you swear to obey (or uphold) a law that explicitly exempts you from obeying it?
