Botswana: Democracy in crisis, Civicus assembly hears

The challenge within the theme of political justice is essentially how do we democratise democracy, this was said by the CIVICUS Secretary General Kumi Naidoo. Naidoo was speaking at the opening session of the plenary meeting of CIVICUS held in Gaborone. “Despite the rise in institutionalisation of elections around the world, democracy is in deep crisis and its quality has not improved,” Kumi Naidoo said.
