{{Main|Ntlo ya Dikgosi}}

In addition to a parliament, Botswana also has a Ntlo ya Dikgosi. The Ntlo ya Dikgosi acts as an advisory body to the Parliament of Botswana.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Inc |first=IBP |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9jm4DAAAQBAJ&q=Botswana+the+house+consists+of+35+members&pg=PA13 |title=Botswana Investment and Business Guide Volume 1 Strategic and Practical Information |date=2015-09-11 |publisher=Lulu.com |isbn=978-1-5145-2879-2 |language=en}}</ref> This body consists of 33-35 members. In order to be eligible to be a member one must be 21 years old and a citizen. There are similar disqualifying conditions for this body as there are for the National Assembly. Members are appointed for 5-year terms. No member may participate in party politics, and many members are tribal chiefs. This body possesses no legislative power, including approval or veto power; rather they advise the Parliament on bills and measures. A power the body does have is to summon members of the government to appear before it.<ref name=":1" />
