You should learn about SEPARATION of powers in a democracy.
The senate is a law making body not an executive arm of government.
It cannot order the arrest of anyone.
There are other ways to deal with a recalcitrant agent of the executive.
If the SINators are serious they should use those other ways to LEGITIMATELY address their grievances with Col. Ali.
We should stop being easily excitable mumus.

I hope the senators vehicles have custom duties

Gaborone:
Can they do that?

freeze001:
Section 89 (1)(d) & (2) of the constitution empower the Senate to issue warrants of arrest. I've taken the liberty to reproduce it below and you may verify same.

freeze001:
Actually, the Senate has powers to issue a warrant of arrest to compel the appearance of any person who refuses to honour the summons of the Senate without cause. That's part of its oversight powers.
