2 OF 2022) Second Reading (Resumed Debate) MINISTER OF EMPLOYMENT, LABOUR PRODUCTIVITY AND SKILLS DEVELOPMENT (MR SHAMUKUNI): Clarification Mr Speaker.

2 OF 2022) Second Reading (Resumed Debate) MR SPEAKER: Thank you Honourable Member for Ghanzi South, I was just flagging a warning.
I am not too far away from calling upon the Honourable Minister responsible for the chapter.

Honourable Member for Maun East.

MR KEKGONEGILE (MAUN EAST): Thank you Mr Speaker, mme re dumedise batlotlegi le setšhaba ka kakaretso.

Go buiwa thata ka Honourable Serame e le motho wa mme, e le boammaaruri e le motho wa mme mme gone mo boitumelong jo bo kana go nne le dipotso tse dintsinyana gore naare gone mme ke eng e tlaa nna motho wa mme wa ntlha morago ga dingwaga tse 55?
A ga se gore gongwe ba ba ntseng ba tshwere jaaka ba tshwere, ba ntse ba beile batho ba bomme ka fa mosing ka bomo kana ka tsamaiso ya bone e e leng gore ga e lebelele bokgoni jwa bone le gore a ke batho ba ba ka bong ba ka kgona go nna gone foo?

Gape re tla re re ngwao jaaka go a tle go buiwe, ke selo se se tsamaelang kwa pele.

Culture is dynamic, progressive and it is not archaic.
Ke selo se se tsamaelang kwa pele gore ditlhabololo fa di ntse di goroga mo mothong, le ngwao le yone e ntse e a tlhabologa.

Batho ba borre thatathata ka fa tsamaisong yone e ya ba ba tshwereng setilo, nako ya gore ba iphitlhe ka monwana ka ngwao le ka patriarchy gore setlhako go lela sa ga rre fela mo Africa, e tlodilwe ke dipeba.

Gone moo fela ka bogone go raya gore batho ba bomme le bone ba na le tshwanelo ya gore ba bo ba ka nna mo ditilong tse di rileng fa ba di deserve, ba na le bokgoni.
Rona tota fa e ne e le mo Pusong ya rona, re lebile gore kwa parties tsa rona kwa re setse re kile ra nna le Vice President (VP) tsa bomme, chairpersons, treasurers le bo Deputy Secretary General ba bomme, ke selo se e e leng gore fa Batswana ba ne ba sa itia ka bone ba ba itiileng ka bone ba, re ka bo re sa bolo gongwe re tsamaya mo legatong la bobedi la Tautona wa mme mo lefatsheng.

Motho o ka ipotsa gore, a go kotama setilo ga ga Honourable Serame, it is worth celebrating.
Kana motho fa a ka tsaya mafoko a ga Mopalamente wa pele wa Francistown, Comrade Vain Mamela, o ne a etle a re moDomkrag wa rre le moDomkrag wa mme, tsamaiso ya bone e a tshwana.

A o ka tla o le mme, mme fela gone o gorogela mo tsamaisong ya Domkrag e e rigid, ga e na room for improvement, e e leng gore nako ya gompieno dikakanyo tsa teng le ditsamaiso tsa teng di tlodilwe ke dipeba.
Re ka tsaya sekai fela ka 2019 maloba fa ke ne ke ntsha Motion mo citizenship Palamente e o dumela, e rona kwa ga rona gantsinyana re e bitsang re re “Njambinikwatere,” e e leng gore motho o citizenless mo lefatsheng, mme Palamente ya dumela.

Gompieno re mo go 2022, yo o tshwanelwang ke gore o ka bo a fetotse molao, ke motho wa mme, ke Honourable Anna Mokgethi.

Jaanong fa tsamaiso e go kganela, e go gana, whether o mme kana o rre, ga go na botswelo, go tshwana fela.
Ke sone se re ipotsang gore is it worth celebrating.

Gape fa re leba budget e, re bona e le tswelelopele ya charge sheet e e sa bolong go simolola go tswa kgakala mme thatathata go simolola ka 2020 e simolola ka Honourable Matsheka, re re ke charge sheet.

Go nna le dikatlholo tse dintsinyana tsa lekgetho, le oketsega; bo Value added Tax (VAT), bo eng ba oketsega, metlakase le yone e simolola go nna le makgetho a ka nna mararo a le four mo bill e le nngwefela.
Gompieno the park fees go tsena fela mo Chobe National Park, Moremi Game Reserve, ditlhwatlhwa tsa teng di oketsegile 380 per cent for the citizens.

O ipotsa gore naare gone mme 380 per cent mo mading a Ipelegeng, batho ba na le dingwaga tse di kanakana ba sena letseno, gone batho ba ba tshela ka bojanala koo, bojanala bo ole, jaanong fa o oketsa ditlhwatlhwa tse di kanakana tse, go raya gore o bo diga le go feta.

Kana ke tsamaiso ya Domkrag; whether ke mme kana ke rre go tshwana fela.
Re tla gape re lebelela dikgang tse di tshwanang ditsela tsa bo Nata-Maun, Sehithwa-Mohembo gore se se neng se ntse se buiwa mo dingwageng tse pedi tse di fetileng tsa bo go agiwa ka Public Private Partnership (PPP), Honourable Serame o tsweledisa tsone dikgang tseo, tsa gore re ya go e aga ka PPP.

Dilo tse di batla gore Honourable Serame fa o ntse o ntsha madi jaana, o di ele tlhoko.

Kana rona ba re leng kwa tennyanateng, lefoko ‘citizens’ le re baya ka fa mosing ka gore citizen kana go tewa motho a kgona go tswa mo Gaborone a bo a ya Maun a ya go dira project, ke citizen.
Rona re ne re tseela gore CCP gongwe re ka bo re dirisitse lefoko ‘locals’ mo go yone, e seng citizens; gore they are reserved strictly for locals.

Gompieno fa o dirisa lefoko locals mme o le tswakanya le citizen, ke bothata ka gore le bone ba go bolelela gore they are locals.

Jaanong le batla gore the definition ya lefoko local re le tlhaloganye rotlhe gore ope a se ka a tla a tsenya citizen mo local.

Ga go arabe matshwenyego ame ka gore, gompieno fa re lebelela, e se ka lepe fela, the Chinese have taken over the market in Gaborone, and Gaborone locals have moved to Maun.

They have set up in Maun, now they are calling themselves immediate local contractors within Maun.

Go raya gore bone jaanong ba ye kwa bo Gumare, bo Shakawe.

Ke sone se ke se buang ke re fa o re ‘immediate’ as long as o sa e tlhalosa, re batla gore e nne issue ya gore a e nne batho who originate fa.

At least kwa CCP, mme re bo re boa re e oketsa gape kwa Development Budget ya maintenance gore a e se ka ya nna locals fela, le gone fa e le gore re ya go ba fa seabe sengwe sa maintenance, that immediate a a tlhalosiwe.

2 OF 2022) Second Reading (Resumed Debate) gore as a country, e re go nna le segajaja se sengwe gape mo isagong, re bo re setse re itshetletse, re tlhabolotse systems tse di tlaa re kgontshang gore re itepatepanye le outbreaks tsa go nna jalo.
Ga ke moporofita Mr Speaker, mme sengwe se nthaya sere golo gongwe ka dingwaga tsa bo 2110, 2120, go ya go nna le outbreak e nngwe ya flu ya go tshwana le yone e fa re tsamaya ka history le cycle gore go tla go nna jang.

Go tlaabo go le molemo jang gore ka dingwaga tseo bao ba ba tlaabong ba le mo botshelong, ba gadime kwa morago mme ba re rona ba generation e, re dirile mo go tlalang ka diatla, re dirile gotlhe mo re go kgonneng.
Re dirile mo go neng go tshwanetse to develop systems tse di dirang gore re nne le resilience as a society.

E re dikgang tse di tla tsa segajaja se tshwana le sa COVID-19, re bo re ka kgona gore re itepatepanye le sone.

Ke a itse gore bontsi re tlaabo re seo gone fa Mr Speaker, mme re tshwanelwa ke gore re dire systems tse di yang go thusa ba ba tlaabong ba le mo botshelong ka nako eo.
Ga re a boelwa thata mo kitsong ya outbreak ya 2018 Mr Speaker, ka gore that is way back, re ne re ise re nne independent and go sena sepe se re neng re ka ikaega mo go sone.

Jaanong this is the reason why o ne o bona fa outbreak e e tswa, e bo e kete ke selo se sesha mo go rona.
O tlaa dumalana le nna gore mafatshe a mangwe, segolobogolo jang a a tlhabologileng, ka a mangwe a ne a le independent already, ba ne ba develop systems tse di ba thusitseng thata mo nakong ya gompieno gore tse dingwe responses tsa bone di bo di le robust, ba kgona to develop vaccines le go sireletsa le setšhaba sa bone.
Jaanong ke batla gore ke wele mo kgannyeng ya gore ke support establishment ya Botswana National Public Health Institute, e e tlaabong e lebelela dikgang tse ka bophara gore we develop systems go bona gore re ka ipaakanya jang re le lefatshe gore go yeng pele, re bo re ka tla ra respond botoka fa re nna le challenges tse di tshwanang le tse.

Honourable Serame o supile mo pegong ya gago gore budget allocation e ke ya bofelo ya NDP 11.
We will be transitioning re ya kwa NDP 12, e e leng gore le yone ke projects tse ka tumelo le maikaelelo a rona ke gore re tle re implement projects and programmes go leka go atolosa le go tlhabolola itsholelo ya rona.

Ke tseela gore there are lessons tse re tshwanetseng gore re di ithute ka NDP 11 mme re leka go ipaakanyetsa NDP 12.
Tota e bile motho a supe fela gore ngwaga o re tsenang mo go one o jaaka o re abela madi a, ke o o botlhokwa thata ka gore it will give us a preview ya gore NDP 12 o ya to be implemented jang.
Ke bua jaana ka gore go na le melawana e re e fetisitseng re le Palamente, e maikaelelo a yone ke go thusa project delivery, particularly around issues tsa procurement, project monitoring le fela gore Batswana ba nne le seabe mo itsholelong e through Acts tse re neng ra di fetisa, tse di tshwanang le tsa bo Economic Inclusion Act.
Tumelo ya me ke gore implementation ya rona ya ngwaga o jaaka o re abela madi jaana, ke yone e e tshwanetseng gore tota, given the legislative framework e e leng gore we have introduced, e re fe preview ya gore NDP 12, we are going to implement it ka seemo se se ntseng jang ka gore bontsi jwa projects tse jaaka bakaulengwe ba sa tswa go bua, ke tse di tswang mo planning periods tse di kwa morago.
Ke ka a fa sekai kwa kgaolong ya me, sepatela sa Kasane se sale re reflect mo NDP 9, sa tla mo NDP 10, gompieno re wetsa NDP 11 e le gore tota tshimologo ya sone e bonya, le go setse go nne le provision ya gore preliminaries di a dirwa in terms of go isa ditlamelo kwa setsheng seo.

Re sale re abetswe plot ke ba lands bogologolo ka period ya NDP 9, mme bona gompieno re atumela NDP 12.
Se se raya gore tota in terms of project implementation, in terms of ensuring gore projects di dirwa ka nako, sengwe re tle re se dire se se pharologanyo.

Tumelo ya me ke gore, melao e jaaka re e fetisitse, e tlaa re thusa thata.

Ke nna le tshokolo mo moweng go bona dinako tse dingwe re palelwa ke to spend madi re a filwe ke Palamente.

This is common Mr Speaker, across all ministries and departments gore re fiwa madi, mme ga re a dirise.
Kana go sa spend madi re a filwe ke Palamente, go raya gore we are doing a disservice to setšhaba re se eteletse pele.

O fitlhela madi a le teng, letlhoko le le lentsi, mme re sa kgona to spend madi to address letlhoko leo.

This is common across ministries.


Gongwe jaaka re transition jaana through this budget, we should make sure gore tota mo budget, o a stress Honourable Minister gore fa go tla mo quarter ya boraro, set for us a standard sa gore mo quarter ya boraro in terms of expenditure ministry mongwe le mongwe o tshwanetse gore o bo o tsamaya mo percentages di fe.
Ideally, it should be more than 70 per cent fa go tsena mo quarter ya boraro ya kabo ya madi, re tle re fe Batswana Mr Speaker, projects tse di ba tshwanetseng, Palamente e rebotse madi gore ba di neelwe.

2 OF 2022) Second Reading (Resumed Debate) Implementation ya NDP 11, o supile Minister gore yes, go nnile le kgolo, mme ga e a create employment opportunities jaaka re ne re solofetse.
Ke gore in other words, gongwe it has been a jobless growth.

Le gone fa, this is a lesson Mr Speaker, gore gongwe ga re re dire sengwe.

Se ke se bonang, kana golo mo go dirwa ke yone underspending e e leng e a diragala.

Fa o ka lebelela bontsi jwa projects tse e leng gore tse dingwe di ne di tshwanetse go godisa itsholelo ya rona, ga di a dirwa.

We roll them over into NDP 12 jaaka re tlaabo re tsena mo go yone jaana.
Gongwe o ya go fitlhela 40 per cent wa projects tsa NDP 11, tse e leng gore were extremely critical for growing this economy, for diversifying this economy to create jobs, o fitlhela di sa dirwa because of our project implementation challenges.

Le gone fa, re tle re bone gore re gagamatsa jang.

Gompieno re mo seemong se e leng gore the whole period ya NDP 11, you will find gore go communities tse di farologanyeng tse e leng gore they live in areas which are so in doubt with natural resources.
Or any other resources kwa e leng gore investment e ntsi teng, mme o fitlhela e le communities tse e leng gore lehuma le a tsamaya mo motseng.

Ke gore fa o tsena mo that community, o kopana le lehuma le tsamaya ka dinao o kgone go le dumedisa, le lone le re ee.

Go nna o kare investments di dirwa di le in isolation of activities tse di diragalang in the communities.

Ke rata the way you stressed it Honourable Serame on development of value chains.
Ke bona e le sone se se ka tlang sa re golola sa thusa communities tsa rona, so that we encourage all these investments in our localities ka go farologana ga tsone.

Gore ditirelo le dithoto tse di dirwang mo areas tseo di rekwe ke dikompone tsa go nna jalo, di rekwe ke botlhe ba ba beeletsang in those areas.

Ke palelwa ke go tlhaloganya gore why 90 per cent ya merogo ya kgaolo ya me kwa Chobe, ya vegetables, meat products, di bo di santse di tswa outside kgaolo ya Chobe.
Ke palelwa ke go tlhaloganya seemo seo, and still ke palelwa ke go tlhaloganya seemo se e leng gore bontsi jwa dithoto le tse dingwe di dirwa mono, re bo re santse re di letla gore di tswe from outside the country.

Decision ya gore e bile o kganele tse dingwe gore di se ka tsa tsena ka border e, to force bagwebi gore ba tseye ditirelo mo Batswaneng, ke decision e e maleba.
Le fa go ka nna le modumo o o kana ka eng Honourable Serame le Honourable Gare wa Agriculture, itseng fela gore most of the farmers ba eme le lona.

Le rona we have an obligation to develop our industries tse di santseng di le kwa tlase.

Re se ka ra letla gore products tse di tswang kwa ntle to dominate mmaraka fela at the expense of farmers tsa dikgaolo tsa rona.
Kgang e Honourable Autlwetse a neng a e bua ke e mmotsa, e le gore o tsena mo shelves tsa wholesalers, o fitlhela di le empty, products di seyo, but fela immediately o tswa o tsena mo stalls tsa Batswana, o fitlhela products tseo di le teng.

Ke sesupo fela sa gore products tse dingwe tse gotweng ga di yo di a tlhaela, ba batla go tsosa modumo.

This is deliberate, mme rona Batswana we should reject that, re emele farmers tsa rona, re reke mo go bone re ba thuse.
The other issue e ke eletsang go feta ka yone Mr Speaker, before ke tabogela kwa go tsa ministry le tsa kgaolo ya me, ke issue ya PPP.

Go boammaaruri Mr Speaker, mafatshe ka go farologana ga one ba lemogile gore the PPP model e ka thusa mo go tlhabololeng mafatshe.

In terms of public works, re kgona go tshwaraganela le ba private sector go tlhabolola fela jalo.
Ke tseela gore what we need to do now ka gore already re setse re na le a dedicated PPP unit mo lephateng la gago Mme Serame, gongwe pele re lebelele le the legislative framework gore a mme melawana e e teng mo bogompienong, e fa bokaedi jo bo tsepameng.

Currently, we are only guided by a policy, like the PPP Policy, but ke tseela gore mafatshe a a atlegang around PPP are graduating into enacting laws e e fang bokaedi, go le mo molaong gore PPP, this is how you go about it.
Ke tseela gore le gone fa let us see Honourable Serame, gore gongwe re simolole go buisana ka go dira a law around which will guide us gore PPPs tse di tle di dirwe jang.

I note Honourable Minister gore projects which are earmarked ke dife.

Ke eletsa gore ke go rotloetse ke lebeletse botlhokwa jwa tsone, jaaka tsela ya Maun/ Sehithwa, Sehithwa/Mohembo, these are very strategic roads.
E re mo tsamaong ya nako fa o bona o kare PPP ga e re tsamaye sentle, tlaa kwa Palamenteng re go fe permission o ye go adima madi, re tle re dire ditsela tse re lebeletse botlhokwa jwa tsone.

Ke balela le rail line e e yang to link Kazungula le Mosetse, le yone fa e le gore mo tsamaong ya nako re fitlhela e le gore o kare it is not very attractive to the private sector, o kare ba bonya, kana mo gongwe bonya jwa bone e tlaabo e le in terms of mobilising resources.
Rona let us make sure gore fa e kete go nna bonya, wena tlaa kwa Palamenteng re tle re go rebole o ye go batla madi a mangwe.

Di dirwe, re itse fela gore go tlaa nna le dipoelo.

These are very strategic roads mo itsholelong ya rona.

Tsone ditsela tsa bo Francistown-Nata, Nata-Maun, o bo o link le ditsela tsa kwa Chobe, e re o feta jaana, kwa bo Gudingwa, o bo ya go welelela kwa bo Parakarungu, o tsena ka bo Kachikau.
E tlaabo e le a loop which in terms of dipoelo mo itsholelong ya rona, ke tlaabo ke go fa dingwaga tse 15 Hansard No 205Tuesday 22nd February, 2022APPROPRIATION (2022/2023) BILL, 2022 (NO.

2 OF 2022) Second Reading (Resumed Debate) 10 Honourable Serame, ditsela tseo di tlaabo di busitse madi, re lebeletse gore they are going to stimulate economy ka tsela e e ntseng jang mo dikgaolong ka go farologana.

HONOURABLE MEMBER: O tsenye ya Dibete le Otse.


MR SHAMUKUNI: Nnyaa, le yone e le mo teng, mme tota ke remeletse thata mo go tse di gokaganyang Kgaolo ya Chobe jaaka o ka tlhaloganya.

We are grateful ka projects tse di tlang kwa kgaolong ya rona ya Chobe, Honourable Serame jaaka o ne o di nankola mo budget ya gago.

Dikgang tse di amang mehama ka go farologana, metsi, ke bona dikonteraka onsite di mo Kasane, di simolotse.
Rre Moagi le ene is going to connect us to the national grid ka go re tlisetsa motlakase mo kgaolong ya rona ya Chobe which links le o re o fetlhang mo Botswana.

Issues tsa land servicing mo areas tsa bo Nyungwe fela jalo, ke tse re di lebogang fela thata.

I must indicate gore go na le tse di critical tse le fa re gola, o tlisa ditlamelo jaana, kana selo santlha fa o di tlisa, you attract batho ba le bantsi.

Palo batho ke gore e ya go go bontsha gore Chobe o ya go gola maybe three folds.
Mo re neng re go akanyeditse mo census e re neng re tswa mo go yone, gore Chobe o ya go gola ka selekanyo se se kae, I can assure you, population ya Chobe is going to shock a lot of people.

Gongwe e setse e potile predictions ka kwa three folds looking at economic opportunities tse di teng kwa.

Other sectors di saletse kwa morago.

The health sector most importantly e saletse kwa morago.

Ke kopa gore issue ya health sector, re se ka ra e lebelela fela gore ke health, there is a business case to it.
Mo nakong ya gompieno, if you look at Kasane e le almost our hub for events, conferencing and all these other activities which attract a lot of people.

Fa batho ba tsena kwa and then go nna le issues, ga re re ba ise mo facilities tsa botsogo jo bo rileng.

We cannot even take anybody to Kasane Primary Hospital, re lebeletse seemo se Kasane Primary Hospital a leng mo go sone.

Last week, we hosted Matona a Labour a mafatshe a Africa.
Ke ne ke nna fela ke tshogile gore e tlaa re fela fa gotwe Minister, a ko o nkise kwa sepateleng foo, ke gore ba ya go re leba jang, mme re ba ntsha mo magasigasing a dihotele tsa bo Mowana fela jalo.

Se se botlhoko ke bone benggae, batho ba Chobe ba ke tseelang gore mo nakong ya gompieno, in terms of access to health facilities they deserve more.
O tle o bone fela gore referral ya motho a tswa kwa Parakarungu, o tsamaya more than 600 kilometres (km) o ya kwa Francistown, e le gore it is a referral ka gore services dingwe o paletswe ke gore a di bone mo Kasane.

Tota I want to plead gore Kasane e nna a centre ya many international activities.

Ka weekend jaana, re tlaabo re gorogelwa ke baeng ba bantsi thata for the Kazungula Bridge Marathon, ba bontsi le batlotlegi bangwe fa, ba supile keletso ya gore ba ya teng.
We have attracted le participants as far as bo Kenya, ba ba tlaabong ba le ka kwa.

All the hotels are fully booked ka kwa.

It is an activity e mongwe le mongwe a buang ka yone.

In terms of health facilities, go saletse kwa morago ka tsela e nngwe e e tlhobaetsang, e ke tlaa eletsang gore let us take health issues tsa Chobe, tota there is a business case tota gore in terms of stimulating the economy, re netefatse gore di nna teng, di nna mo seemong se se amogelesegang.
The Education Sector le yone fa local economy ya Chobe e gola the way e golang ka teng jaana, what it means ke gore fa bodiredi bo nna bo ya kwa, ba batla bana ba bone gore ba tsene mo dikoleng tse di rileng.

Ba batla gore dikole tsone tsa bo junior schools tsa ga Goromente, di bo di le mo seemong se se siameng.

As we speak now, all junior schools, they have oversubscribed.

Tse di agilweng e le 18-stream, ke 21-stream and even more now.
Jaanong re simolola re reka porta cabins gore jaanong bana ba simolole ba tsenele ka koo e le gore facilities di saletse kwa morago.

There is even a much stronger case gore jaanong re age a unified secondary school if not a fully-fledged senior secondary school because of population ya bana mo kgaolong.
I am grateful to the Chinese ba e rileng ba bona letlhoko la rona kwa Kazungula Primary School, e le gore ke sekole se nna se nnyennyane, Kazungula o gola ka bokete, ba bo ba donate a new primary school which the contractor is onsite and ba simolola go aga.

Ke ba leboge fela thata.


Rona as Government tota, re lebelele gore e re re isa ditlhabololo tse di nang le that pulling factor gore batho ba tlaabo ba ya koo, mme e re batho ba ya ka koo, a re boneng gore re ba tsenyetsa ditlamelo tse di siameng, tse di maleba.

Di dintsi tsa Kgaolo ya Chobe tse ke tlaa tlang ke di atolosa fa Batlotlegi Matona ba bua ka maphata a bone during the Committee of Supply, tse di tshwanang le tsone tsa ditsela, agriculture le tse dingwe fela jalo.
Di dintsi tse ke tlaabong ke tla ke bua ka tsone.

Ke wetse Mr Speaker, ka gore kwa ministry o re leng mo go one, o Mma Serame a o fileng madi a gore re implement programmes dingwe tsa Puso, re a lemoga 16 Hansard No 205Tuesday 22nd February, 2022APPROPRIATION (2022/2023) BILL, 2022 (NO.

Tumelo ya me ke gore Mr Speaker, e re fa itsholelo e tla e nna botoka, go tlaabo go se thona gore re le lefatshe, re lebelele seemo sa bodiredi, re ipotse gore mme after COVID-19, le go fokotsega ga disposable income, a re ka se simolole a conversation gape around letseno la… …Silence… MR SPEAKER: Honourable Minister, did we lose you?

Fa Morena wa me a tla a bitsa the Minister, le se ka la mo tshwaya phoso.
Without that fa go sena yo o buang from the Opposition to utilise their slot... HONOURABLE MEMBER: Honourable Khama o tsholeditse, look at your chats.

MR SPEAKER: Thank you Honourable Minister.

MR SPEAKER: Ga a a tsholetsa.

MR SHAMUKUNI: Ke lebeletse sone seemo sa bodiredi gore tota gone the fact of the matter ke gore dipalo tsa the working poor di a gola Mr Speaker.

Re tle re lebelele gore re ka simolole conversation fela ya letseno fela le le tlhoafetseng la madi la bodiredi.
Tumelo ya me ke gore some sectors, I know re beile a minimum wage but some sectors ba dira ka bomo.

Some sectors can afford to pay more than the minimum wage, ba ka duela fela mo go tlhwaafetseng.

O kare ba retelelwa ke go dira jalo, ka gore ba a itse gore re beile molao and molao wa re minimum wage ke bokana.

Mo tsamaong ya nako jaaka itsholelo e tlaabo e fatlhoga, go tlaabo go se thona Mr Speaker gore re simolole conversation around go lebelela the minimum wage.
Gape re lebeletse le the levies le taxes which were imposed following COVID-19, tota disposable income e ne ya ngotlega.

Ke wetse ka go sekasekiwa ga the pay dates, thulaganyo e leng gore beke le beke go tlaabo go amogelwa, o a utlwa Honourable ... (Inaudible)… beke le beke go tlaabo go amogelwa.

The next speaker shall be the Honourable Tshekedi Stanford Khama, Rraagwe Kaedi, ke nako ya gago Kgosi ya me.

LEADER OF THE MINORITY (MR KHAMA): Thank you Mr Speaker, ke a go dumedisa Mr Speaker.

Mr Speaker, ke batla go akgela mo Budget Speech e e tswang kwa go... MR SPEAKER: Come closer to the microphone Honourable Member, come closer to the microphone.

MR KHAMA: Ee, ke batla go akgela mo Budget Speech e e tlang ka Mma Serame to Parliament.
Mr Speaker, ke batla gore before ke tswelela ka yone, ke bue fela gore ke itse gore Budget Speech e e baakantswe jang, gore e ya kae, e tswa kwa kae, go tswa bo mang ba ba tswang go bua ka yone.

Se ke tsileng go se bua, ga se gore ke lebegana le ene fela, ke lebagane le lephata la gagwe le stakeholders botlhe ba ba neng ba akgela mo this Budget Speech.

Ke na le matshwenyego ka fa e dirilweng ka teng, ka gore fa ke leba summary e a neng a bua ka yone, o ne a bua ka Budget Pitso.
Ke a itse gore fa re lebagane le CCP, ga re ise re kopane le batho ba Finance kana 17 Hansard No 205Tuesday 22nd February, 2022APPROPRIATION (2022/2023) BILL, 2022 (NO.

2 OF 2022) Second Reading (Resumed Debate) bangwe ka kgang ya Budget Pitso e lebaganeng le kgang e. Mo dingwageng tse di fetileng since CAVA e tsaya Puso in 2019, the CCP di emisitswe, madi a teng a ne a emisitswe.
Ke ipotsa gore fa go ntse jaana, o raya gore tota re ka bo re dumetse se se tshwanang le se gore re emisang madi a CCP, and then go bo go kwalwa gotwe “stakeholders have been consulted, and feedback ya bone ya re.” That is the first thing se se ntshwenyang in this Budget Speech.

fail ka dipalo tse dintsi jang, how are we ever going to achieve a knowledge based economy.
Ke mafoko fela, ke go tlhatswa fela, o kare go kgabisiwa fela le dirisa mafoko a re reng re ya go tlhakanya dilo fela ka go dirisa mafoko a a tshwanang le ao.

Fa re lebile results tsa kwa dikoleng gore di ntse jang, and the term ya knowledge based economy, no, ga go tsamaisane.

It is a definite disparity in what this budget is saying and what the promise is.
Se sengwe gape ke kgang e e lebaganeng le dilo tse di tshwanang le Millennium Development Goals, ke ne ke batla mo speech gore mo Millennium Development Goals or the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as they are referred to now, go na le nngwe ya SDG 4 e e buang ka quality of education.

Re a itse gore dikole tsa rona mo Botswana, totatota gotlhelele ga di na mosola.

Fa o ka bona dikole kwa kgaolong ya me kwa Serowe, nako ya fa go na le COVID-19 ke ne ke ile go di lebelela tsotlhe.
Ke raya gore it is embarrassing for a country jaaka Botswana which has got so much resources from diamonds, bana ba rona ba bo ba ya kwa dikoleng tse di tshwanang le tse.

Ke raya gore e ne e le makgasa fela... MR SPEAKER: Honourable Khama!

MR KHAMA: Yes.

MR SPEAKER: The technicians are saying television (tv) does not focus on you properly, please face your monitor.

We want that handsome you… yes that is better, to come out clearly.

Please take your floor Honourable Khama.


MR KHAMA: Mr Speaker, jaaka ke ne ke ile go lebelela dikole go bona gore seemo sa tsone se ntseng jang, nnyaa tota ga re direle bana ba rona sentle, we have failed.

As the Ministry of Education, they have failed.

Fa ke re ba paletswe ga ke reye gone jaana, ke raya from time past, ka gore curriculum ke selo se se batlang go lebelelwa, ka gore bana ba fa ba tswa sekoleng ga gona kwa ba yang teng, go ya go dira homework tsa bone.
Sa bobedi fa ba tsena mo laboratory classes, di dirisiwa tse ba ka di dirisang foo ga di bereke.

Bangwe ba ne ba re dilo tse di tswa kwa Germany, madi a a yang go tla le makgoa go tla go di baakanya ke madi a mantsi, so re di beile fela foo, ga di bereke.

I believe gore when we are looking at this Budget Speech and SDG 4 e buang ka quality of education, re fositse.
Phathi ya CAVA e paletswe mo go e, because quality education is going to talk about moving from resource based economy to a knowledge based economy.

Fa o bona ka fa bana ba rona Ke kopa gore tsweetswee fa re ya go buisana le morafe, a bueng boammaaruri.

Re se ka ra bo ra re re ya go tswa mo resource-based economy to knowledge-based economy, mme bana ba rona ba sena dikole tse ba di tsenang tse di supang gore results tsa bone ke tse di gakgamatsang.
Tota di a gakgamatsa, e se gore ba pasa ka grades tse di kwa godimo, e le the way they are failing, ke sone se se gakgamatsang.

Dilo tse re di tlwaetse, re tswa kgakala ka kgang ya education.

So Mr Speaker, ke na le matshwenyego one a gore, this Budget Speech contradicts itself in the way it is being presented.

That is why ke ne ke re Mma Serame, I am not labelling this at you.

I know who put these things together, ke ne ke le koo, ke a itse gore go dirwa jang.
Fa ke bala Budget Speech e, ke a bona gore nnyaa, go a pala.

Jaanong e nngwe gape rra, CCP jaaka ke ne ke bua ka tsone... HONOURABLE MEMBER: Mr Speaker, nako e ke eng e ka re ke gone e simololang go bala jaana?

MR KHAMA: Fa re lebile community projects, we provide funding for the developments... MR SPEAKER: We are at 1 o’clock, is it not?

PROCEEDINGS SUSPENDED AT 1:00 P.M. FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 HOUR PROCEEDINGS RESUMED AT 2:00 P.M. “EXCHANGE OF SPEAKERSHIP” MR SPEAKER (MR SKELEMANI): We are starting with questions.
QUESTIONS FOR ORAL ANSWER PHOTOCOPYING MACHINES IN SCHOOLS MR G. KEKGONEGILE (MAUN EAST): asked the Minister of Local Government and Rural Development if he is aware that primary schools in the Maun Administrative Authority have photocopying challenges due to none functioning of photocopying machines in almost all schools, and to further explain: (i) the ministry’s school photocopying machine provision policy, its replacement and maintenance policy; (ii) school alleviation policy of photocopying challenges in the meantime; and (iii) the number of schools with functional machines, number of those without machines and provision date to such in the Maun Administrative Authority.
MINISTER LOCAL ASSISTANT GOVERNMENT AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT (MR PULE): Thank you very much Mr Speaker.

Good afternoon Mr Speaker and colleagues.

OF Mr Speaker, I am aware of the challenges existing in schools of shortage of photocopying machines.

Currently, there is no documented policy on the above but schools are provided with machines through the normal budget process, and machines have been procured by batches where the budget permits.
(i) Mr Speaker, maintenance of schools’ photocopying machines have been placed under a maintenance contract.

A total of 27 out of 38 primary schools have working photocopying machines, of which 24 are contracted to a company called Copiers Botswana.

In all the contracted photocopiers, the contracted company, that is Copiers Botswana, have responsibility of maintaining all photocopiers and providing the toners for the machines, a period of contract, while the council pays for photocopying services cost.
the (ii) Mr Speaker, Maun Administration Authority has been experiencing photocopying challenges in most of the primary schools.

However, since 2019 to date, the organisation has procured 24 photocopiers as I mentioned earlier, on contract basis to help alleviate photocopying challenges in primary schools.

The photocopiers have been rationalised to assist the nearest schools that do not have photocopiers yet.
Schools without photocopying machines are being clustered to get the services from their neighbouring sister schools.

(iii) Mr Speaker, a total 27 of primary schools as I said earlier, have working photocopying machines.

Machines with obsolete status were acquired through donations to Ministry of Basic Education with the direct delivery to schools.
Some schools with no electricity were not planned for due to that reason, but the status is changing as electricity is being brought to proximity of those schools, hence they will be considered in the next plan, funds permitting.

Thank you Mr Speaker.

GENDER BASED VIOLENCE MR Y. BOKO (MAHALAPYE EAST): asked the Minister of Nationality, Immigration and Gender Affairs to state: (i) the progress made so far in relation to the Inter Ministerial Committee’s set up to deal with Gender Based Violence (GBV) in Botswana; and (ii) if it is not advisable that the Government of Botswana declare Gender Based Violence a national crisis.

MINISTER OF NATIONALITY, IMMIGRATION AND GENDER AFFAIRS (MS MOKGETHI): Thank you very much.
Let me also thank Honourable Yandani Boko, Member of Parliament for Mahalapye East for the question.

(i) Mr Speaker, the Inter-Ministerial Committee (IMC) was established in December 2020.
The committee comprises of Ministers of; the Ministry of Nationality, Immigration and Gender Affairs, Ministry for Presidential Affairs, Governance and Public Administration, Ministry of Basic Education, Ministry of Defence, Justice and Security, Ministry of Health and Wellness and the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development.
The Committee is supported by Permanent Secretaries responsible for the ministries I just mentioned as well as Dikgosi, Faith Based Organisations, Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), the media and academia.

These provide technical expertise to the Inter-Ministerial Committee.

Mr Speaker, to commence work, the technical experts held their inaugural meeting on 2nd February, 2021 whilst Ministers held theirs on 8th February, 2021 where they considered their terms of reference.
their inaugural meetings, the experts Following underwent training on Gender Mainstreaming and GBV Management on 23rd to 25th August 2021 whereas the Ministers were trained on 4th to 5th February 2022.

The training equipped them with knowledge and skill on gender mainstreaming and GBV management.

Following this training, the IMC has identified key areas that require immediate action.
These are intense public education, resource mobilisation, setting up appropriate sectoral structures, and strengthening of laws.

21 Hansard No 205Tuesday 22nd February, 2022QUESTIONS FOR ORAL ANSWER Since establishment of the IMC, the Government also initiated the following major interventions aimed at mitigating GBV: as well.

In addition, Government undertook Violence Against Children Survey in 2019.

It is these studies that currently inform programming at various levels.
(1) Adoption of the Criminal Procedure and Evidence Act, (2021) which amongst others empowers survivors of rape to have more voice during evidence collection and at prosecution stage while at the same time taking cognisance of the trauma they have suffered.

(2) Adoption of The Sexual Offenders Registry Act, (2021) which provides for amongst others; the establishment of the Sex Offenders’ Registry, in which names and particulars of all persons convicted of sexual offences are recorded.
(3) Establishment of GBV Special Courts which are intended to speed up hearing of GBV cases.

(4) Introduction of “Mmueledi Wame” television programme by Legal Aid Botswana which aims at providing legal literacy.

The programme covers amongst others, child custody, divorce, GBV, cohabitation and general litigation.
(5) Launch of the GBV Perpetrators Programme by Botswana Prisons Service in September 2021 under the theme: “Projecting the Mind and Voice of the Perpetrator.” (6) Establishment of the Gender and Child Protection Branch in Botswana Police Service which has encouraged and increased reporting of GBV cases particularly by children.
(ii) Mr Speaker, on declaring GBV a national crisis, Government has long recognised GBV as a thereby undertook several national concern, initiatives such as conducting the initial GBV Indicators Study in 2012.

This study established the prevalence of GBV and indicated that GBV was mostly perpetrated by men.

In 2013, Government developed the Domestic Violence Act Regulations to facilitate implementation of the Act.

In 2016, Government developed the National Strategy Towards Ending GBV.
The strategy provides guidance to various sectors on the national response.

To further assess progress on interventions, Government undertook a follow-up study in 2018, which this time also focused on men not just as perpetrators but victims Mr Speaker, let me conclude by assuring this House that GBV remains a major priority to Government.

Government will therefore, continue to undertake critical interventions to address this scourge.
Mr Speaker, allow me to inform this House that their voice on GBV has not fallen into deaf ears as Government for the first time ever, committed a budget of P2, 875,000.00 to GBV.

In addition the Government increased financial support to shelters being; Botswana Gender Based Violence Prevention and Support Centre in Gaborone and Women Against Rape in Maun.

This allowed shelters to open more facilities to house GBV survivors, especially during the extreme social distancing period.
Lastly on behalf of my colleagues in the Inter-Ministerial Committee (IMC), let me reassure this House that the IMC is fully committed to drive the national GBV response towards a GBV free generation.

I thank you Mr Speaker.

MR BOKO: Supplementary.

Thank you Mr Speaker.

MS MOKGETHI: Thank you Mr Speaker.


Let me start with the second question, whereby Honourable Member Yandani Boko a supang gore go lebega re sa ya to the community jaaka bo dikole, re ye go ruta batho kwa Dikgotleng jalojalo.

Selo sa ntlha Mr Speaker, the Ministry of Nationality Immigration and Gender Affairs has established 17 District Gender Committees tse e leng gore boikarabelo jwa tsone is to mobilise the communities mabapi le dikgang tseo, tsa go hema dikgang tsa kgokgontsho mo the communities tseo.
Gape Goromente o tswelela ka go rotloetsa le to support the civil societies organisation tse e leng gore tiro ya tsone ke go dira tshidilo maikutlo kana psychosocial support, le go ba thusa ka shelters, gore ba thuse bone ba ba kgokgontshitsweng, gore ba kgone go bona boroko.

Those civil society communities Honourable Speaker, ke bone ba ba berekang, ba dira mo go bidiwang gotwe the advocacy work in the community.
Ba bereka at grassroots level, gore ba kgone go thusa setšhaba sa Botswana go lwantsha dikgang tsa kgokgontsho.

If I can just say also mabapi le the first question, we will at some point come to Parliament to share with them the progress that we have made so far.

At this point in time as I have indicated, both the technical committee and the ministries have now been trained.
It is only after we have consolidated all the views that were presented during those training sessions that we can come to Parliament and share with them what we have done thus far.

I thank you Mr Speaker.

NATA SUB-DISTRICT MR P. MAJAGA (NATA-GWETA): asked the Minister of Local Government and Rural development to update this Honourable House on progress made to enable the Nata Sub-District to function at Sub-District level.
OF MINISTER ASSISTANT LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT (MR MODUKANELE): Ke a leboga Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente, ke leboge Rre Majaga ka potso e. Mr Speaker, Nata currently operates as a service centre not sub-district.

Progress made so far to enable Nata Service Centre to function at sub-district level has been modest.
Establishment of Nata Sub-District was among 19 others that were approved to be sub- districts in the year 2008 and further prioritised to be implemented during NDP 11 and beyond.

However, given the persistent challenge of resource constraints, the Government adopted a strategy where resources permitting, implementation will be done in phases.
The first phase entails developing a service centre and Phase 2 envisages establishment of full sub- district and this has not been realised because of budgetary constraints Mr Speaker.

By way of update Mr Speaker, currently Nata operates as a service centre headed by the Service Centre Coordinator at D3 salary scale.
It provides some selected services including Social and Community Development (S&CD), Environmental Health, Self Help Housing Agency (SHAA) growth, Architecture, Building and Maintenance Division Services, Management of Matimela …(Inaudible)… and Administration.
In respect of revenue services Mr Speaker, I am happy to update that the Central District Council (CDC) has partnered with local bank ABSA to provide support to facilitate payments and transfer …(Inaudible)… Commissioner at D1 salary scale who coordinates 24 central Government extension services.

These extension services include National Registration (Omang), land board, Youth, Sport and Culture, Agriculture, Tribal Administration, Education and Botswana Police Service.
Last but not least Mr Speaker, my ministry is desirous of implementing the Government decision to make Nata and others; for example Shoshong, Lerala, Sehithwa and Sefhare, fully-fledged sub-district resources permitting.

I thank you.

MR MAJAGA: Thank you.

Re a go utlwa ka fa o arabang ka teng, this thing has taken a longer time jaaka re bua ka 2008.
Mo these intended sub-districts tsotlhe fela tse re ka di buang, bo Rakops, Mmadinare, Sefhare, jalojalo, o raya gore le mo nakong ya gompieno le fa re itse gore go thata jang ka bo COVID-19, ga gona tse pedi fela tse e leng gore gongwe they are funded go supa gore there is progress?

Go ntse go eme fela jalo jaaka 2008?

A mme re tlaa tswa tema Tona wa me yo o tlotlegang, le ene a amega?
Ya bobedi ke gore, kana decentralisation, bo Tona especially Tona Autlwetse le Tona Molale, maloba ba tsamaile lefatshe le lotlhe to speed up this process ya decentralisation.

Mo Nata ke bona Mothusa Molaodi a le teng mme Mothusa Council Secretary (CS) ga ke mmone.

O diilwe ke eng ka koo go bona tota gore even though go ise go agiwe, mme the relevant officers are in place kwa di tshwanetseng teng?
O ka nkaraba Tona ke ka leboga, ka le wena o moanelwa mogolo mo kgannyeng e. MR MODUKANELE: Ke leboga thata Honourable Majaga ka potso eo.

Ke supe jaana gore jaaka o sa tswa go supa, nna le wena dikeletso tsa rona gone fa di kopana 120 per cent.
Tla ke supe gape jaana Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente, gore keletso ya rona re le Local Government ke gore gongwe mo nakong e khutshwanyane fa sengwe le sengwe se kgonega, gongwe policy ya decentralisation jaaka o sa tswa go bua gore re ne re tlhotlhoma le lefatshe le Rre Majaga, bo Rre Molale le Rre Autlwetse, le bangwe ba rona re bua ka yone.

Gongwe e bo e ka thusa to be part of some of these things …(Inaudible)… constraints tse e leng gore di ntse di teng.

Gongwe go bo go ka bonwa gore a e nngwefela kana tse pedi jaaka o sa tswa go bua, gongwe re ka di fitlhelela Mr Speaker.

Ke rialo for now, ke se ka ka bua thata Honourable Majaga.

MINISTER LOCAL ASSISTANT GOVERNMENT AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT (MR PULE): Thank you Mr Speaker, thank you Tachakanaka.

OF (i) Upgrading of Dikgotla takes place in gazetted villages and therefore all wards within villages are serviced at the level of Headman of Arbitration.

Mabowe which is a ward in Nkange, Selolwane and Magapatona which are wards within Tutume villages respectively, and therefore they are not eligible for upgrading to Headman of Records.
(ii) Mr Speaker, I am not aware of any court ruling to have some of Dikgotla upgraded to the status of Headman of Records and therefore, my ministry has no plan to upgrade these Dikgotla.

2 OF 2022) Second Reading (Resumed Debate) LEADER OF THE MINORITY (MR KHAMA): Thank you Mr Speaker.

Good afternoon to you Mr Speaker.

Mr Speaker, I was proceeding to the conclusion, in particular at the time, I was reading on SDG 4.

SDG 4 obviously we were talking about things related to the quality of education.
Mr Speaker, jaaka ke ne ka bua gore kwa kgaolong ya me, kwa Serowe West, dikole tsone tota ke makgasa fela, didirisiwa mo dikoleng ga di yo.

Ke ne ka tlhalosa gore bana fa ba ya kwa sekoleng, tota fa o ka bona gore classrooms tsa bone gore di ntse jang, le kwa go apewang dijo teng, nnyaa, ga go a siama, mme go ne go ntse fela jalo, go tsweletse.

Ga ke bone gore Goromente o leka go baakanya dilo tse di tshwanang le tsone tse.

Fa re tswa mo kgannyeng yone eo, ke batla go fetela kwa go SDG 3 ya botsogo.
Fa o bona dipatela tsa rona, especially jaaka fa ke ka go bolelela gore Sekgoma Memorial kwa Serowe, se se gologolo, Serowe Clinic, Dimajwe Clinic le clinic e nngwe gape mo Serowe di di kgologolo.

Baoki ba a tlhaela, melemo le yone ga e yo.

Dikoloi le ambulances tse di thusang batho kwa dikokelong le tsone di a tlhaela.
So ke a ipotsa gore fa re lebile sustainable economy, mme re sa kgone go tlhokomela botsogo jwa Batswana, tota ra reng ka kgang yone e. That is why ke ne ke bua kgantele ke re this Budget Speech, tota ga e a lebagana sentle le reality on the ground.

Fa o kare ke mafoko fela, go kwadilwe gatwe tsamaya o ye go dira Budget Speech.

Budget speech ke eng?

Fa le ka tsamaisa Budget Speech le botsogo jwa Batswana le ka fa Batswana ba tshelang ka teng, le tsile go bona gore Budget Speech e e a tlhaela.
Jaaka Tona wa Immigration kgantele, Mme Mokgethi a ntse a re ba ya go ntsha P2 million for Gender Based Violence (GBV).

P2 million ga se madi a sepe.

Ke raya Mr Speaker, fa o tsaya batho ba ba itewang mo lefatsheng la rona, maabane fela re utlwile gotwe lesole le bolaile mosadi wa gagwe.

Jaanong cases tse di tshwanang le tsone tse, fa ba ya go seka, go duela mang?

Motho fa a sa kgone go ituelela lawyer, P2 million o ya go felela kae?
Gape fa motho a iteilwe kwa ntlong ya gagwe, o ya go siela kae, kwa ntlong ya ga mang?

Fa a tsena kwa ntlong ya GBV, o tsile go fitlhela batho ba ba ka mo tlhokomelang gone koo, ba ba mo apeelang dijo, ba ba mo rekelang diaparo ka gore gongwe ba kgagotse diaparo tsa motho ene yo.

Gape e bile gongwe motho yo le ene o batla go isiwa sepatela ka fa a iteilweng ka teng, le fa a sa kgone go ya kwa sepateleng sa ga Goromente, a bo a isiwa kwa private hospital, P2 million o ya go felela kae?
That is why ke re this GBV issue e e fetotsweng ke Molale in the 11th Parliament gore it should be elevated to the President, it was an injustice to anybody who has suffered through GBV, it was an injustice!

Lona lotlhe maDomkrag le e dumetse kgang yone eo, so le se ka la tla, le bo le re bolelela ka P2 million-nyana wa lona, le bo le re nnyaa, tota se se ne se diragala kwa 11th Parliament, le ne la dumalana le Molale fa a fetola the Motion wa ga Rre Boko.
Dikgang tse di lebagane le lona, you are responsible, anybody yo o iteilweng ke motho yo mongwe a sa kgone go tlhokomelwa, ke Mapalamente a Domkrag ba ba fetisitseng molao ole, it is on your heads, le tlaa ipona lona ka kgang yone e. Le tlaa arabela ba ba tswang go tlhaselwa ke batho bone bao, le tlaa kopana nabo ka kgang yone eo.
I think it is very sad because Mr Speaker, in 1975, when most of these Parliamentarians were not born at that time, nako ya fa go ne go buiwa ka kgang ya madi a Pula le bo Botswana Defence Force (BDF), I remember that time Tautona wa pele Sir Seretse Khama, o ne a bitsa Mapalamente a kganetso a re re na le kgang ya madi a Botswana, gape re tlhasetswe ke maRhodesia, ga re ka ke ra lwantsha ntwa ele ka mapodise, re tshwanetse go nna le defence force.
Ba bo ba kopana, ba buisanya kgang yone e, kwa bofelong, fa ba tswa kwa State House, ke ne ke le teng, ke a itse, ga go na ope fa yo o ka ganetsang, le ne le seyo lotlhe, le Tsogwane o ne a ise a nne Mopalamente ka nako ya teng.

At time, ba ne ba tswa go dumalana ba re ee, tota re batla gore go nne le sesole and gape re batla madi a rona a Botswana.

Go ne ga buisanngwa.


Nako ya fa re tlhaselwa ke COVID, re kopile jalo gore... HONOURABLE MEMBER: Nnyaa, TK, gatwe le ne le…(Inaudible)... kwa lelwapeng BDF… MR KHAMA: O a ntlhodia Healy.

HONOURABLE MEMBER: Gatwe ba e rerile kwa lelwapeng BDF.

MR SPEAKER: What is out of order?

MR TSOGWANE: Point of order is that, when you imply that, “you guys were not around, and I know when these things were made, I was around,” go bua Tshekedi.

The implication is that he has an input, he influenced everything that was happening that time.
So he should not accuse us for not even being there… HONOURABLE MEMBER: There is no point of order there.

MR TSOGWANE: …he cannot accuse us for not having been there, because we were not privileged to be there.

He was privileged and he had an influence on everything that was happening.

MR SPEAKER: ...(Inaudible)... order Vice President (VP)?

MR TSOGWANE: Rra?

Ke batla go feta ka kgang ya crime; Mr Speaker, ke ne ke bua bogologolo ke re fang mapodise madi.
Ga ba na police stations.

Police stations di tshwana fela le clinics, di onetse.

Nako le nako fa o feta mo Serule, o tlile go fitlhela mapodise gone foo, up until midnight, 2 o’clock in the morning.

Ga ke batle go boela mo kgannyeng ya ditlhobolo tsa mawildlife, ka gore re kile ra e bua kwa Palamenteng.

HONOURABLE MEMBER: Go itse lona.

MR KHAMA: Didimala wena!

Fa o batla go bona ditshukudu, o ya go di bona kae?

O tlaabo o re, mme di ne di le teng gone fa.

Ka nako ya ga semangmang ... MR BOKO: Point of order.

MR SPEAKER: Honourable Boko, we do not have time for this kind of staff.

MR BOKO: No, there is point of order.

MR SPEAKER: What is out of order?


MR BOKO: Mr Speaker, can you kick Honourable Healy out of this House, we want to listen.

He is making too much noise.

Thank you Mr Speaker.

MR SPEAKER: O tshwana fela le lona.

MR KHAMA: Mr Speaker, ka fa ke godisitsweng a teng, ga ke ka ke ka tlhasela Healy ka fa a ntlhaselang ka teng.

Ka fa re godisitsweng ka teng, go supa gore ga re tshwane.

Ke a kopa jaaka Rre Boko a ne a bua, mo 31 Hansard No 205Tuesday 22nd February, 2022APPROPRIATION (2022/2023) BILL, 2022 (NO.
2 OF 2022) Second Reading (Resumed Debate) reye gore a itshware ka gore o tlhoka maitseo.

Ke kopa o dire jalo.

Healy, I am telling you straight, fa o bua ke ne ke sa dire jalo.

Le fa o romilwe, ka gore o tlwaetse go dira jalo, o itshware.

Nna... MR MANGWEGAPE-HEALY: Go raya gore le wena o romilwe TK, ke belaela o romilwe le wena.

HONOURABLE MEMBER: Motho yo o rekisa motokwane wa itse.

MR SPEAKER: Information Technology (IT), park Honourable Healy, just park him!

Enough is enough!
Enough is enough!

MR KHAMA: The second last point I want to go on to Mr Speaker is diversification of the economy.

Ke a itse gore nako ya fa ke ne ke le mo Cabinet, re ne ra bua ka diversification of the economy.

Re ne re na le mogopolo gore lephata lengwe le lengwe le tle ka mogopolo wa lone gore go ka dirwa jang.

Re ne ra dira jalo.

Ke batla go botsa fela gore mo dingwageng tse di fetileng, since 2018, megopolo ele e feletse kae?
Nako e ya COVID, we need sustainable development and diversification of the economy.

Re a itse gore diamonds le tsone di tlile go fela.

Fa di fedile, re tlile go bona botshelo ka eng ka gore tota ga re a ipaakanya?

Fa le lebile 2036, a knowledge- based economy as well, middle income, gore re tsamaya fa kae, inflation ke utlwa gore e felela kwa go 10 per cent.

Fa inflation e le kwa go 10 per cent jalo, and then unemployment ya banana generally e tsamaya kwa go 24 per cent, mme le bua ka 2036.
Re bua gape ka tse dingwe tse, tota le a bona gore it is not going to add up.

This will not add up, there is a deficit.

Deficit e e teng, kwa ntle ga madi, ke gore le reye Batswana le re, fa le batla go iteka, a ko re bueng kgang e. Fa e le gore le batla go tsena mo dikgwebong, a re yeng go dira jalo.

Let me give you an example; when I was in Cabinet, ke ne ka kopa gore go nne le mephato e le four kana five.

E le youth, agriculture, infrastructure, tourism, le e nngwe gape.
Ke ne ke kopile gore mephato e yotlhe e ntshetswe P120 million.

Tona wa Youth a lebagane le dilo tse di lebaganeng le banana and sport, he is not a scientist, ga se an agriculturist, ga se molemi.

Fa batho ba adima madi, ga a ka ke a kgona go bona gore a dirisiwa jang, eo ke tiro ya agriculture.

Go fiwe Agriculture P120 million wa Youth Development Fund (YDF), Infrastructure P120 million wa YDF, Tourism P120 wa YDF.

Ke ne ka kopa gore maphata a, a kopane go bona gore re ka thusa banana jang.
Go nna bokete mo go Goromente go thusa mongwe le mongwe.

Fa re bua ka diversification of economy, a ko le botseng ba bangwe gore re ka dira jang ka gore Batswana ba a sotlega jaaka ke ntse ke bua.

Banana ka COVID, o a itse gore go ne go le bokete jang mo go bone.

Jaanong fa go ntse jaana, go raya gore mafatshe a mangwe a tsile go re sia.
Bana ba ba senang sekole, fa e le gore ga ba pase ka fa ba tshwanetseng go pasa ka teng, fa ba ya go batla ditiro kwa ntle, ga ba ka ke ba bona ditiro tse di tshwanang le tsa ba bangwe.

So, a re ba fe chance gore at least fa re sa kgone go ba hira mo Botswana, re ba fe education e e gaisang ya mafatshe a mangwe.

and then re bo re ba raya re re tsamayang le ye go batla ditiro kwa le ka yang go di batla teng ka gore rona ga re kgone go le hira mo Botswana.
Go tlaabo go o fa ba bangwe space gore le bone ba batle ditiro gore le bone ba bone botshelo jo bo botoka.

Sa bofelo Mr Speaker, kgang e re lwantshang Batswana re le Batswana, golo moo go tshwanetse go emisiwa.

Ke tlile go kopa mo Palamenteng.

Go monate gore re tlhasetse Kgosi Kgafela kana former President mme reputation ya lona le le mo Botswana ga e a re ema sentle.
Le fa re tsaya gore re dira sentle kana re batla go swabisa batho ka go dira jalo, ga re dire sentle ka gore Batswana ba tlotla Dikgosi tsa bone.

Jaanong fa e le gore le ya go ba tlhasela, le a itse gore e tlaabo e tsosa kgang e nngwe jaanong?

So, ke ne ke kopa gore lona ba le setseng kgang e morago, dirang sengwe, baakanyang gore Batswana botlhe ba kgone go boela gae, e seng ka nako fela ya fa go na le leso mo lesikeng la bone.

Ga go a siama, le gone go ne go padile.


Dilo tse di lebaganeng le lona ba ba mo Pusong, ga gona …(Inaudible)... Mr Speaker, the last point ke the development hubs.

Ke ne ke kopa rra gore fa e le gore le batla go tlhabolola Botswana, NDP 11 le 12 di siame re a itse mme madi a CCPs a a boele tsweetswee, ke gone re tlaa tlhabololang lefatshe la rona.

Ke ngwaga wa bobedi go sena madi a CCPs kwa Serowe.

Jaanong o kare ditiro tsa rona di eme fela gone foo.
Fa e le gore le dirisa polotiki go dira jalo, le itse fela gore phathi ya Domkrag e simolotse kwa Serowe bogologolo.

Jaanong ka gore le jelwe kwa ditlhophong le batla go gana go re fa madi, le batla go swabisa Batswana.

Nnyaa, le se ka la dira jalo ke a le kopa ka tsweetswee.

Motswana mongwe le mongwe, irrespective gore o tswa mo phathing efe kana o tlhopha mang, o na le tshwanelo ya go tshela sentle mo lefatsheng la Botswana.
Fa le tima motho botshelo ga le 32 Hansard No 205Tuesday 22nd February, 2022APPROPRIATION (2022/2023) BILL, 2022 (NO.

2 OF 2022) Second Reading (Resumed Debate) dire sentle, le a itse gore ga le dire sentle.

Ke batla gore you go and search your conscience on this thing and consider gore a se le se dirang a se siame kana le batla Botswana to become what it used to be.

Mr Speaker, on this point, there is no better term that I want to use now, that is to say, we need to make Botswana great again.
Ke tlaa e bua gape, we need to make Botswana great again.

Thank you.

Mme Peggy serame, you are in fine company, you are in the company of women of firsts.

Ke re ke go akgole mma.


This process e ya rona ya budgeting is very important gore e simolole jaaka e a tle e buiwe ka puo ya seeng gotwe from the bottom-up gore go buiwa le batsayakarolo ka go farolgoana ga bone, re simolola fela ka structures tsa rona tsa di Village Development Committees (VDCs).

E bo e tla e ntse e tlhatlologana, e tlhatlologana, batsayakarolo ka go farologana ba nna ba akgela gore ba bona budget ya rona e ka nna jang.
Jaanong ke re golo moo ke selo se se tshwanetseng go tswelela, especially mo lefatsheng le le tshwanang le la rona la puso ya batho ka batho, as well as what the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) has promised ka 2019 Manifesto, to run an inclusive Government.

Ke dilo tse di amogelesegang.

Gape mo go yone eo, o ne wa bua ka calls for more budget to be allocated to development projects.
Ke tsaya gore jaaka bakaulengwe ba le bantsi ba buile, ke gopola gore Honourable Lelatisitswe o kile a e kgoma e e buang gore madi a ditlhabololo a okediwe ka gore re lefatshe le le tlhabologang, le le santseng le tlhoka clinics.

O ya go leka gore dikgang tse tsa ditlhabololo o di beye kwa pele.

Kana o ne o re maintenance of social and economic infrastructure.

Jaanong fa o bua ka social infrastructure, o bua ka dilo tse di agang setšhaba, boleng jwa batho.
Sengwe se ke neng ke batla gore gongwe ke se go gakolole fa o bua ka go aga setšhaba, ke non-state actors kana ba ba ikemetseng ka nosi ba ba thusang Puso gongwe ka dikgang tse di tshwanang le consultations le interests sa civil society jalo le jalo.

Fa bo BOCONGO fa ba leng teng gone jaana, I believe ba neelwa P300 000 every quarter kana P100 000 kgwedi le kgwedi.

Jaanong o ka lemoga gore madi a o ga a lekana.

Golo moo force our Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) gore di simolole go ikgolaganya le ba mafatshe a sele gore ba ba thuse.

Mme kana golo moo go tlisa interests tsa bone batho ba mafatshe ao.

Interests tseo ga se gore ka dinako tsotlhe di nyalana le interests tsa Batswana.
Go tlaabo e le gore, ke fe sekai, gongwe kgang nngwe e Batswana ba nang le maikutlo a a rileng ka yone, e bua ka ditshwanelo tsa setho kana sengwe sa go nna jalo.

Fa ba simolola ba kgona go nna le madi a a tswang kwa ntle ga lefatshe, ba kgona go itlhaganelela go ya court rather than gongwe push a referendum e Batswana ba tlaa buang maikutlo a bone.

Ba tlaabo ba kgona go tabogela kwa court.

When maybe they could have had an opportunity through a referendum to reiterate their position.

Jaanong ke re, when you talk about social infrastructure o se ka wa lebala makgotla a go nna jalo.
Mme Serame, ke itumelela gape jaaka o buile ka gore o tlaa oketsa madi a projects, allocation of more money to complete ongoing projects and maintenance of the existing ones.

Nngwe ya dilo tse re bonang tota di re beile ka fa mosing, ke go tlhoka to maintain existing infrastructure.

Go a itumedisa fa o ntse o supa gore that is the direction you want to go.
Paragraph number five; talks about the President’s Reset Agenda, priority number one e e buang ka go tlamela matshelo a Batswana mo segajajeng se sa COVID-19.

Rotlhe ke tsaya gore mo lefatsheng la Botswana fela jaaka re kile ra nna ka fa tlase ga kgatelelo ya segajaja sa Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), the same thing with COVID-19, ke mo gotweng, you are either infected or affected.

Jaaka re itse gore mo Palamenteng re le bantsi bo kile jwa re tsena bolwetse jo.

Go a supa tota gore we are really focused on this one.

Jaaka re kile ra nna le bo Boswa Construction, Tlhoraboroko, tse dintsi tse di neng di le teng, re sale re thuthuga, tse di agileng junior secondary schools tse di tletseng lefatshe le la Botswana.

Jaanong mo Gaborone o kgona go fitlhela madi a Gaborone Central a felela gongwe mo komponeng ya kwa Ramotswa ka gore dikompone tse di kwa bo Commerce Park, di tsaya licenses kwa bo Ramotswa.

Ke ne ke raya jalo.
Ke ne ke raya jalo.

Honourable Rakgare, nnyaa jaaka ke setse le nna o bona gore ke ne ke leka go lemotsha gore dikgang tse di tswa kae, ga go gakgamatse mokaulengwe.

Ga go gakgamatse and we know why they were opposed to these things because …(Interruptions)… Kwa pele dikgang tse Honourable Rakgare ka fa di dirilweng ka teng, di na le gore di ka tshwara bangwe ba nako eo ba neng ba sa batle melao e e ka tsenngwa.

They have a vested interest so to speak in these matters.
I am not at all surprised sir, it is very consistent with what was to be expected.

Paragraph 42, Mma Serame o ne o bua ka Development Manager Approach to project delivery, e o neng o bua gore public projects are to be packaged and their implementation sourced to private companies.

Mma Serame, nngwe ya dikgang tse o fitlhelang re na le mathata mo go tsone which I hope this will solve ke mega projects tse go tlaabong gongwe di baya dikompone tsa benggae ka fa mosing.
Jaanong in implementing this Development Manager Approach, please make sure that it takes into consideration the Economic Inclusion Act, e e tlaa dirang gore dikonteraka tsa benggae di kgone go anya meamuso ya lefatshe la bone.

Jaanong mo go Number 52, o ne wa bua ka global economy recovery from COVID-19 recession.

Kana go ntse go na le supply chain challenges throughout the world ka ntata ya COVID-19.
Jaanong golo mo go dira gore dithoto le ditirelo di ne di ntse di tlhaela, the laws of supply and demand di supa gore fa dilo di tlhaela, ditlhwatlhwa tsa teng di ya go ya kwa godimo.

Selo seo ke sone se se felelang se dira gore re nne le mathata a inflation.

It is not unique to the country of Botswana, the world over is experiencing this problem ya inflation, koketsego ya dithotho ka lebelo le le kwa godimodimo.
Ke raya gore fa o ka tsaya sekai sa leokwane; every country throughout the world and sometimes including producers themselves, bo Nigeria le Angola, ba oketsa ditlhwatlhwa tsa peterole, bone bafetlhi ba peterole.

Jaanong o bo o ipotsa gore fa bafetlhi ba peterole ba kgona go oketsa ditlhwatlhwa, jaanong rona ba re senang peterole, ba re sa e fetlheng, ke eng se se ka re kganelang gore re oketse ditlhwatlhwa.
Kana fa petorole e oketsega go raya gore the cost of everything ka gore se tlisiwa ke diteraka jalo le jalo, di tlile go e oketsa.

Ka jalo ga go gakgamatse.

Jaanong mma ke tsene mo go tsa Gaborone Central ka pela Mr Speaker.

Kgaolo e ya Gaborone ka bophara, particularly Gaborone Central, re na le mathata a botsogo.

Re na le sepatela sa Princess Marina, mme kana ke sa lefatshe lotlhe.
Mma Serame, ke ne ke solofetse gore gongwe ke ya go utlwa o bua sengwe se se tiileng ka capacitating particularly clinics tsa Gaborone le Francistown ka gore we have got similar problems, ga re na district hospitals, re na le national referral hospitals.

Ke re ke nngwe ya dilo tse ke fitlhetseng di seyo fa.

Jaanong jaaka re tsena mo NDP 12, ke kopa gore e nne nngwe ya dilo tse e leng gore we are going to prioritised them.

Re lekile go bua ka tsone kwa kgaolong fa re bodiwa ka dikgang tsa NDP 12, jaanong ke kopa gore le rona le re akanyetse kwa pele.

Kgaolo ya Gaborone Central e na le bo more than 30 years go sa agiwe dikole.

E na le primary schools tse four, le one junior and one senior in a population of more than 50 000.

Jaanong ke nngwe ya dikgang tse re tlileng go eletsa go di utlwa fa go iwa pele.
Re a bona gore di tlhaetse fa.

Number 44 o ne wa bua ka PPP kana kgwebo magareng ga Puso le ba ba ikemetseng ka nosi.

E mo teng o neng wa fa sekai ka Reclamation and Treatment of Gaborone Waste Water for Portable Use.

Ke tsaya gore golo mo go tlaa thusa toropo ya Gaborone le mafelo a a mabapi ka ditlhaelo tsa metsi.

Jaaka re ipona fela mo malatsing a mabedi a a ntseng a feta, re na le mathata a metsi.

Re solofela gore golo mo ke sengwe sa dilo tse di tlaa re thusang.
Number 46 go builwe ka Decentralisation Agenda.

Motho o ka eletsa gore gongwe mo toropong ya Gaborone, re iphitlhele re na le sub-districts tse pedi ka gore batho ba Gaborone Central in particular le batho ba Gaborone ka bophara ba a sokola.

There are more than 300 000 people in the district of Gaborone mme they are serviced ke council e le nngwefela.

Jaanong selo seo se tlhoka gore re se akanyetse.

Jaaka ke bua jaana batho ba Gaborone Central le fa o le kwa Maruapula, o ya go batla Lekgotla kwa Urban.
Fa o le kwa Ginger gatwe o ye kwa Ledumang.

Jaanong motho o akanya gore gongwe mo go tsone dikgang tse tsa decentralisation, o tlaa utlwa e bile gongwe finally Rre Autlwetse a re utlwela botlhoko, a re tlisetsa Kgotla kwa Gaborone Central.

Nngwe ya dilo tse di tlhobaetsang thatathata ke tsa crime.

Motho o a bona gore o okeditse madi a Ministry of Defence ka P135 million.
Jaanong dikgang tse tsa bo cash in transit robbery, traffic lights robbery, burglaries, re tsaya gore re tlaa bona di fokotsega ka ntata ya ditsompelo tse o di fang ba sepodise.

Sengwe se se ntlhobaetsang thata, se ntshwabisitse nko go gaisa molomo ke kgang ya Number 95; Orapa House Technology Park.

Mr Speaker, Orapa House is a building that was purpose built for diamond cutting and polishing.

Lefatshe la Botswana le na le competitive edge mo dikgannyeng tse tsa diteemane.
We will never lead the world in Information and Communications Technology (ICT).

We have never and we will never, but we have led in the area of diamonds.

So ke utlwa gotwe a facility e e tshwanang le Orapa House e ya go fetolwa gore e dire IT.

Ke bona e le tota jaaka re sentse go senya.

Building ele can be subdivided into cubicles, the first floor gongwe o ka e fa licensed holders ba diteemane mo lefatsheng la Botswana.

Floor e nngwe o ka e fa ba cutting and polishing.


Batswana ba na le dingwaga tse dintsintsi ba dira business e, o ka ba rulaganya into small cooperatives; batho ba ba neng ba le kwa Serowe le Molepolole, ba tla go dira cutting and polishing.

Floor e nngwe o ka e dira mo gotweng Minerals Brokerage, wa dira gore ba ba nang le customers ba itse ba ba nang le se se batliwang jaaka bo diteemane, ba ba kopanye.

Lens for analysis, platforms for diamond trading and a diamond museum.
So this thing of turning Orapa House into something that will never lead, ga go a re siamela gotlhelele.

Mo go ya bofelo Mr Speaker, motho o ne a ka batla go itse go kgoma tse dingwe tse di kileng tsa buiwa fa re ntse re le mo debate e. Leader of Opposition (LOO) like the ...(Inaudible)…, patriarch that he is, e rile a bua a akgola Mme Serame, a dira jaaka re mo itse a etle a bue gore bomme ba tlile fa ba sikere dibeke, ba emetse fela go duelwa.
If you let me quote Mr Speaker, ke batla go dirisa mafoko a ga Honourable Kekgonegile ene ne a re BDP has no reformed potential go a dirisa fa, ke nopola mafoko a ga Rre Saleshando.

Rre Saleshando e rile a feleletsa go akgola Mma Serame, a re “ke solofela gore mo go farologaneng ga rona, ga o ka ke wa go dirisa gore kana le bona ke le mme.” Se a se buang ke gore, Mma Serame might play the gender card.
Golo moo is very consistent kwa the Leader of Opposition (LOO) jaaka re mo itse gore o nyatsa bomme tota, at any given opportunity fa go buiwa ka mme a leka go galalediwa, o tlaa supa sengwe se se tlaa supang gore nnyaa gongwe ke a dumalana, mme a bo a goga e nngwe go supa gore mole e ne e le gore bua fela.

Mma Serame, do not pull the gender card; that is what he said to you.
E nngwe e rile go arabiwa to what Honourable Tumiso Rakgare said with regards to the relationship between the UDC, Honourable Kapinga o ne a bua gore tsotlhe di siame fela.

“In a message posted in his birthday, Boko said all those who have supported and through trials and tribulations before launching a skiving attack against some unnamed individual whom he accused of being ungrateful.

He said.

“I have met scoundrels along the way, ungrateful people who I have supported, and for whom I have done so much, yet to this day, they are unable to express thanks and gratitude, they rather elect to insult, malign, disparage me.
I have witnessed dramatic eruptions of envy, jealousy and betrayal from many I assisted.

Even gratitude from unemployment and employability... HONOURABLE MEMBER: E tsena fa kae in this Budget?

MR MTHIMKHULU: Ba tshwanetse gore ba ye go ikopa maitshwarelo kwa Batswaneng.

Ba ne ba nyaditse gore golo gongwe, ba ne ba tsere gore Goromente o tlaa palelwa ke go thusa Batswana, jaanong ba ne ba batla go tlhakatlhakanya.

Ba ne ba sa elele matshelo a Batswana ka sepe, e bile ba sa kgathale gore Batswana matshelo a bone a ka tsena mo diphatseng ka tsela epe fela.
Ba tshwanetse gore ba boe ba ye go ikoba, go supa gore they are true leaders.

Kana a leader o itshupa jalo, gore ga a dirile phoso he stands out and acknowledges gore I made a mistake and apologise to that.

Not to the BDP, but to the entire nation, mo go tsenyang le ba bone members, batsadi ba bone le masika a bone kwa malwapeng gore ba ikopa maitshwarelo mo go bone gore re le diretse phoso.

Ke tswelele Mr Speaker, ke tsene mo go ya education.
Gore re a bona gore education e filwe madi a mantsinyana go latela a health.

Ke golo mo go ntle fela thata, Basic Education.

Rona mo Gaborone South re go itumeletse fela thata, ka gore re dumela gore go tlaa thusa bana ba kgaolo ya rona ka gape go na le that part of the budget e e buang gore jaanong e ya go thusa ka tsa maranyane mo dikoleng le go bona gore bana ba na le tsa maranyane tse ba ka di berekisang go ithuta motlhofo.

Ke golo mo go siameng fela thata Mr Speaker.


Kwa kgaolong ya rona ke kwa bana ba rona ba tsholwang ba gola e bo ba fetsa sekole, ba ya go bona tsa maranyane ba setse ba le batona, ba sa kgone go di dirisa letsatsi le letsatsi, ba sa kgone go di ithuta kwa bonnyennyaneng.

Rona mo Gaborone South, re batho ba e leng gore dilo tse fa batho ba bangwe ba kgona go nna le tsone, rona ga re kgone go nna le tsone.
Ba tlaa kgona go di bona kwa dikoleng, e bo ba kgona gore ba di dirisa, ba di tlwaele, e bile ba nne le botsipa go feta jo re nang le jone gompieno rona bo Mthimkhulu, ka gore they would have been afforded this opportunity at a very young age gore ba kgone go tshwara ka pela.

Re a leboga fela thata, e bile ke dumela gore go tlaa thusa.

E tlaa re fa di ntse di ya pele dilo tse, go tlaa thusa le gore barutabana ba kgone gore ba lebagane le bana ba ba sa kgoneng sentle ka bongwe ka bongwe.
Le gore jaaka classes di le dintsi jaana re itse gore go thata gore di fokotsege, because of the environment fa di leng teng, re le bantsi in a small space, dikole ga di dintsi e bile go Hansard No 205Tuesday 22nd February, 2022APPROPRIATION (2022/2023) BILL, 2022 (NO.

2 OF 2022) Second Reading (Resumed Debate) thata gore di gole motlhofo, gore di tlaa thusa to fill that gap bana ba kgone go nna le nako e ntsi le barutabana kana ba thusiwe botoka, ba rutiwe botoka ke barutabana a bone.
Gape Mr Speaker, go na le barutabana bangwe ba gotweng ba ya go hirwa ba le 3500.

Rona mo Gaborone South re a kopa gore e re fa ba hirwa jaana, classes tsa rona ka fa Gaborone South di lebelelwe gore di tle di fokotsege, the number ya bone in a class e fokotsege, ka gore ba bantsi fela thata.

O tlaa lemoga gore batho ba ba tswang kwa ntle ga Gaborone South, because we are in the city centre, ba tlisa bana ba bone ka fa ba bo ba tsena sekole kafa, maitseboa ba bo ba boela kwa ba nnang teng.
Jaanong bana ba ba golelang mo Gaborone South, dikole tse di dirilwe go lebilwe palo ya batho ba nnang foo le bana ba ba foo, jaanong they are being crowded.

Go raya gore bana ba nna bantsi in classes.

Ga ba kgone go ithuta sentle because of the large size of classes tse di ka bo di lekanetse.

Mr Speaker, posts when they are filled kamoso, re itse gore re ya to benefit mo Gaborone South.

Go se ka gatwe re mo toropong, re bo re lebalwa di isiwa go sele.
Re tlogelwa mme re na le mathata a a tshwanang le ba ba kwa ntle ga toropo kana ba ba kwa mafelong a mangwe.

Mr Speaker, development approach to delivery tsa projects tsa ga Goromente le go dirisa turnkey project; ke tshepisa gore this new approach I believe is better than e e ntseng e dirisiwa ke Goromente wa Botswana mo go direng ditlhabololo ka kakaretso.

O tlaa lemoga gore when you use this vehicle go dira projects, o kgona go lekanyetsa go senyega ga madi thata, that will benefit Goromente.
O kgona go tsena mo project o bo o re, ke na le P100 million, P10 million kana P1 billion, mme ke batla go dira tsela e e tswang kwa Lobatse e ya Gaborone.

Madi a me ke a, ke a baya fa fatshe.

Wena o o batlang go dira tsela, o dire, o itshupe gore o ka e dira jang, of course you will select the best as the procurement entity.

Re tlaa batla yo o ka dirang tsela ka madi a a kana.
Motho yoo fa a dira tsela eo, whether saves, o dira profit kana ga a e dire, ke ga gagwe, re batla project e e dirwang mo selekanyong sa madi a a kana.

Motho fa a tla, a bo a itse gore fa a fitlhela makgwere, project e sa dire madi ka gore ga a dira tiro ka matsetseleko, a itse gore he or she will be suffering a loss.

Profit ya gagwe is included in the charge.

Fa go ntse jalo Mr Speaker, projects tsa ga Goromente di tlaa simolola go dirwa di sa senye madi thata, jaaka gompieno di a senya.
O kgona go fitlhela project e dirwa ka P500 million, e re kamoso fa o tsena o utlwa gotwe it has overshot ke P800 billion kana P1 billion.

Go bo gotwe go na le tshenyetso- setšhaba kana go senya Goromente wa ga Domkrag.

Ministers tsa ga Goromente wa ga Domkrag di sa itse sepe di le kgakala le golo moo.

Golo moo go dirwa ke badirelapuso.

Go dirwa ke batho ba ba hirilweng (technocrats) to implement these programmes, ideas kana mananeo a ga Goromente.
Go se na mathata ape, re dirile dilo ka kwano ka tshepo ya gore di tlaa tsamaya sentle, di bo di ya go senyega kwa implementation.

Ke dumela gore this is one of the answers tse di tlaa thusang Goromente go fitlhelela its pledges to the people gore in this period of time, re ya go dira eng.

The more we save money a a dirisiwang go dira projects, the better for Batswana because we will be able to deliver more with the limited resources tse re nang le tsone mo Botswana.
Motlotlegi Serame, ke tsena gape fa o neng o bua ka sport at paragraph 6, gore o beile aside P24 million ba sport ba tle ba thusiwe in the development of sporting talent.

This is also a welcome development Motlotlegi Serame.

Madi a ye go dira a deliberate effort gore bana ba Batswana ba ba nang le bokgoni, ba fitlhelele golo gongwe mo maitekong a bone.

Ba tletse kwa kgaolong ya rona ya Gaborone South Motlotlegi Serame, ba ba mo sport.

Re na le banana ba mabelo, football and boxing.


Re bone mongwe wa rona last year a lwela lebante.

He was a title holder.

O ne a le lwela kwa Gaborone International Convention Centre (GICC) kwa a neng a latlhegelwa teng.

E le monana wa ntlha kwa Old Naledi go nna mantswitswidi wa mabole, e bile e le a holder of a continental boxing belt.

Le bo le mo latlhegela kwa GICC last year.

Re batla ba le bantsi ba lemoge gore e rile fa a lwa jalo, le fa a ne a latlhegelwa, o ne a neelwa P50 000.
Yo o neng a fenya e ne e le ngwana wa Motswana.

These are developments tse di diragalang mo the sporting space sa Botswana.

Re a bona gore jaaka ba dira jaana, ke dilo tse di kgonang go ba direla bokamoso.

Di ba direle letseno.

Ga se go ne mo fela, re bona ba mabelo ba relay ya 4x4 fa ba tswa kwa China, Honourable Rakgare a ba fa matlo.

These are the good things that are being done by this Government.

A ba fa matlo gore ba lemoge gore le bone ba diretse lefatshe.
Ba dirile sengwe, e bile gape as an encouragement to ba ba tswang kwa morago ga bone.

Le bone kamoso ba tsoge ba fitlhelela kwa bale ba fetileng teng.

Dilo tse tsotlhe tse ke maiteko a ga Goromente yo o eteletsweng pele ke President Rre Masisi.

E bile o ka bona gore ke Goromente who has the best interest ya Batswana at heart.

O batla Batswana ba ya kwa pele fela thata.

Ga a batle go nna gotwe ke Batswana fela, go sena sepe se ba nang le sone.
43 Hansard No 205Tuesday 22nd February, 2022APPROPRIATION (2022/2023) BILL, 2022 (NO.

2 OF 2022) Second Reading (Resumed Debate) Mr Speaker, o bua gape ka budget e e neetsweng ba agriculture.

Ke batla go akgola ba agriculture ka se e leng gore last year ba se dirile when they banned importation of horticultural produce.

Ba dirile sentle fela thata.

Fa o ka lemoga, golo moo ka bogone, Batswana ba le bantsi ba bone ditiro.
Fa o tsamaya mo masimong mo, o ne o fitlhela a farmer a le one a sa hira batho, gompieno o hirile ba le 20, 30 and 40.

Go tsenya madi mo dipateng tsa Batswana, e bile gape go fokotsa the import bill e e dirang gore re nne re na le madi a a fetileng, a a dirisitsweng mo lefatsheng.
Fa re ntse re fokotsa the importation of goods and services, le import bill fa e ya kwa tlase, go thusa lefatshe go tlhama more employment.

Ke golo mo go siameng fela thata.

O tlaa bona gompieno ba opposition gone ka kwa ba didimetse.

Mr Speaker, ga ba bue ka gone, ga ba bue ka maiteko a ga Tautona Masisi.

Ga ba batle go bua gore Goromente go emisa importation of vegetables o dirile sentle.
Ba emetse gore go nne le mathata jaaka batho ba bangwe ba etla ba ngongorega mo dikhoneng ba re ga go na ditapole, ga go na eng.

Ba emetse gore go nne le mathata, ke gone ba bo ba tlhabeletsa chorus ba re Goromente yo ga a siama.

Maiteko a teng gore Botswana a siamelwe.

Ga go na sepe se se tlaa tlang kwa Batswaneng se le motlhofo kana madi a a tlaa tsenang mo dipateng tsa Batswana go le motlhofo.
Re tshwanetse re sokole, re ngakalale, e bile gape re berekele gore re ntshe Botswana from a middle income country to an upper income country.

Gore re dire jalo, ke gore go ngakalalwe fela thata.

Dilo tse di ntseng jaana, small steps put together; re kgona COVID, re thusa ba sport, dikole, re lwantsha corruption jaaka gompieno jaana, we banned importation of horticultural projects.

These put together at the end of the day, ke tsone tse e leng gore they will lead Botswana to the next level of development.
Ke tsone tse di tlaa re tsayang di re kuka di re isa kwa godimo, e bo kamoso re bua re re Botswana o tlhabologile.

Batswana are taking part in the economy of the nation.

Ke one maiteko a re a dirang.

Ke gone jaaka re bua ka delivery of the promises that BDP made during the 2019 campaign.

We are delivering on the Manifesto wa Domkrag ka contract e re e dirileng le Batswana fa ba re tlhopha ka 2019.

Ke sone se re buang gore Rre Masisi is delivering fa a dira Constitutional Review e bo e kgalwa.
This is about delivery.

Ba ne ba kgala ba re ga e dirwe, e a dirwa ba a kgala, ga ba batle sepe se se siameng.

This is the delivery of promises that were made to Batswana.

We have a contract with Batswana, we are delivering on it.

We will work very hard to deliver on the promises and pledges that were made by this Government to Batswana.

Ya bofelo ke bue gore go na le ba bangwe ba ba sietseng kwa ntle ga Botswana ba re ba a tshwenngwa.
Ba ne ba kobile journalists ba le mo Pusong ba batla go ba tsenya ka toronko, ba ba phuruphutsha.

Le a itse gore batho ba siile ba re ba a bolawa mo Botswana, journalists.

Ga gona journalist e e kileng ya sia gompieno mo Botswana a re o a bolawa.

All journalists are free to talk about everybody.

They are free to criticise the Government, President, Ministers…(Interruptions)… ke mang yo o neng a batla gore ba bolawe?

A boe fela koo a tle mo Botswana.


Fa e le gore go na le molato mongwe o a o dirileng o a o itseng le o a sa o itseng, a tle fa a tle a face molao.

O tlaa ya kwa court jaaka mongwe le mongwe, o tlaa fiwa chance ya go iphemela…(Interruptions)… jaaka ba bangwe ba a ipoka ba re they have won cases kwa court, “hei!

Goromente o roba molao, o gatelela batho…” O tlaa tla gape le wena le ditsala tsa gago le win kwa court fa e le gore le tlaa win.
Fa le sena go win le tlaa bua se ba ntseng ba se bua gompieno ba re Goromente o a gatelela, e seng Goromente a go gatelela fela o siile o ise o tshwarwe ke ope.

E bile ba ne ba go kopa gore, “heela rra, ntsha ditlhobolo kwa o di beileng teng!” Nako ya teng fa go kwala lekwalo o kopiwa go ntsha ditlhobolo, ke lone le bo le go koba mo Botswana.

Fa o sena go sia o bo o re o a tshwenngwa.

Ke re ba opposition le bone gape ka gore dilo tse ba ne ba di kgala pele, a ba tswelele ba di kgale.
Ba se ka ba batla go dirisa Palamente go sireletsa disinyi le batho ba ba tshabang go nna mo lefatsheng la bone.

Di ne tsa ya kwa tlase, mme di ne tsa re thusa.


E bile ga bo go re thusa le go lemoga gore gone fela madi a rona a jewa thata ke go duelela dithoto tse di tswang ka kwa ntle.

Ke sone se re neng re gatelela thata, le gompieno re gatelela jaaka re tswetse melelwane jaana, gore a Batswana ba intshetse dithoto tse ba ka di ntshang.

Bogolo ka kwa ntle go tswe tse e leng gore economy ya rona ga e mo selekanyong sa gore jaanong e ka di kgona.
Fela tse re di kgonang, re di ntshe especially tse di tshwanang dijo jaana.

Jaanong re tswetse, re a itse gore gompieno ka kwa ntle bangwe ba a bua, ba tsosa modumo ka gore ditapole di a tlhaela.

2 OF 2022) Second Reading (Resumed Debate) Mo mafelong a mangwe kwa go mogote thata jaaka kwa bo Chobe ka kwa, ba tlaa nna ba ntsha ka nako e e leng gore ga go mogote.

Jaanong re tlile go felela e le gore gongwe mo ngwageng o o tlang, nnyaa, re tlile go fitlhela re relela fela, ga go na tlhaelo e kalokalo.
Ke dingwe dilo tse ke neng ke batla gore ke di supe ka gore di ama batho ba dikgwebo tse di potlana, jaaka ba the informal sector ba ba rekisang dijonyana fale, ka plastic mo ditafoleng.

Ba a amega.

Ke se re se tlhaloganyang, se re se itseng, mme batho bao ke bone ba re batlang go ba rotloetsa thatathata Tona Mma Serame.

Re batla gore next time fa re bua ka budget, re bo re ka tlhomamisa seabe sa bone gore se a gola, mo GDP bone ba the informal sector.
Ke dingwe dilo tse e leng gore re tshwanetsera tsepamisa matlho mo go tsone.

Re tshwanetse gape ra tsepamisa matlho a rona mo go boneng gore itsholelo ya kwa magaeng, go se ka ga nna le diparologanyo tse di kalokalo, ga nna le these pull factor or push factor e re itseng gore e nna teng gore batho ba tshologele kwa ditoropong ka letlhoko la ditiro le le ntsi kwa dikgaolong.
Jaaka o bona mo go yone the priorities tsa rona, the RESET Agenda, re supile gore re ya go rotloetsa thata the value chain development e eleng gore kana gone koo kwa go ntshiwang the raw materials, dithoto, ditemo, di diragala kwa dikgaolong.
Fa go ka nna le the value chain development, mindset change ya tsena thata mo go bone, ba lemoga gore ba ka ntsha dithoto, ba bo ba di dira gone kwa dikgaolong kwa, ba felela ba ntshitse dithoto tse di tlang kwa toropong, e le tse di feletseng, nnyaa batho ba tlaa ya ka lefatshe le teng, ga se le le tshwenyang thata gore batho ba bo ba re ga re na lefatshe kwa dikgaolong.
Ke rotloetsa thata ka gore sone selelo sa kabo ya lefatshe se ntse se teng, ke dingwe dintlha Mma Serame tse re tshwanetseng gore re di emele ka dinao, re bone gore mo kabong ya madi fa e ntse jaana, seabe sa go dira gore go ya go baakanyetsa lefatshe le sone se ya kwa godimo gore batho ba rona ba kgone go bona masimo, transfers tsa ditsha tsa go tswa mo batsading fa ba tlhokafetse, re di dira ka tsela e ntseng jang gore di kgone go thusa itsholelo ya kwa magaeng.
Ke leboge jaaka bangwe ba ba lebogileng ke se ka ka lebala, gore go rotloetsa jaaka go rotloediwa leruo le le botlana le re le tlhokang thatathata, e bile re le bone mmaraka o botoka kwa mafatsheng a bo Saudi Arabia, re tshwanetse re rotloetse batho ba rona thata.
Ba agriculture ba tlaa tla ba feta ka dikgang tseo ka nako ya go bega dikgang gore ba tsamaya fa kae, le gone gore thotloetso e re e bonang mo go Tautona e tonatona e ya gore batho ba kgone gore ba rue, diphoko di nne teng le diphelefu go tlhabolola leruo la bone, ke selo se se botlhokwatlhokwa thata.

Gape ke supe jaana, re tshwantshanye dilo le mafatshe a mangwe, kana re bapile le lefatshe le bidiwa Namibia, le re sa kgaoganeng thatathata ka itsholelo le lone.
Re tshwanetse go tsaya malebela, re itse gore batho bao ba a rua kwa ba leng teng.

Leruo la bone le a ata fela ka dipalo tse di seng kana ka sepe, dipodi o fitlhela e le tse di seng kana ka sepe.

Ke tsaya gore Motsamai o tlaa supa ka gore ke motho yo a tshelang a ba etela ba ga bone ka kwa.
Jaanong ke re gone moo bagaetsho, re tshwanetse re itse gore batho bale ga ba na dikgang tse gotweng ba tshwenngwa ke diphologolonyana tse di senyang ka gore it is clear gore bo phiri, bo phokojwe ga ba a tshwanela go tsena kwa mafelong a thuo.

Go na le mo go ka tweng gongwe re ka re elimination of predators, so le rona go tshwanetse gore barui ba rona ba tswe mo go reng nnyaa, ke tlaa tlogela leruo la me fela ke bo ke re fa le jelwe, ke tlaa ya go batla madi kwa Wildlife.
Nnyaa, leruo gompieno ke madi a mantsi, ga re a tshwanela go rotloetsa moo.

A re direng ditsamaiso tse e leng gore disinyi kana diphologotswana tse, di tswe mo mafelong a go ruelwang mo teng, barui ba nne le dithata tse di tletseng, tse di feletseng tsa gore ba itwantshetse dibatananyana tse and eliminate them mo mafelong a go ruelwang leruo la rona le le potlana, gore leruo la batho le tle le kgone go atlega.
Le dikotlhao tsa bogodu jwa leruo le ditsheko tsa teng jaaka ba ntse ba bua, re bone gore re di gagamatsa jang, di sekiwa kwa mafelong a Dikgotla tsa Setswana.

Ke ise ke wele Mr Speaker, ke bue ka kgaolo.
