Mr Speaker, livestock theft is an issue of concern in Botswana, and the Government is doing all in its powers to curb.

Various mitigation strategies continue to be implemented.

Livestock is fundamental to the livelihood of Batswana.

It is seen as a source of income, wealth and status.

The Setswana adage ke se nopola sa re, “ka e rua ka tlhoka boroko, ka e tlhoka le gone ka bo tlhoka,” fully captures the importance of livestock to the average Motswana.
(i) I confirm that cross border livestock theft in Botswana, particularly the Kgalagadi, Goodhope-Mabule, Tutume Sub-District and Ramotswa is a challenge.

Kgatleng area has not yet experienced cross border livestock theft unlike other areas.

On the other hand, stock theft cases were recorded in Ghanzi and North East areas during the year 2021.

The total number of livestock stolen are indicated by the table.

Let me just go straight to the table Mr Speaker.
19 Hansard No 205Thursday 17th February, 2022LEADER OF THE HOUSE’S QUESTION TIME Table 1: Livestock stolen in 2020 AREA Kgalagadi Goodhope-Mabule Tutume Ramotswa TOTAL Cattle 12 - - - 12 Table 2: Livestock stolen in 2021 AREA Kgalagadi Ghanzi North East Goodhope-Mabule Tutume Ramotswa TOTAL Cattle 14 13 - 4 17 - 48 Horses 1 - - - 1 Horses - 1 - - - - 1 Goats 111 - - 18 129 Goats 207 - 19 - - 3 229 Sheep 18 27 - - 45 Sheep 42 - - - - - 42 Mule 1 - - - 1 Mule - - - - - - 0 Donkeys - - 20 - 20 Donkeys - - - - 4 - 4 TOTAL 143 27 20 18 208 TOTAL 263 14 19 4 21 3 324 (ii) Mr Speaker, there are several security and diplomatic interventions that have so far been mobilized to deal with the problem of cross border livestock theft.
These include the following; • Formation of anti-stock smuggling teams patrolling around the areas.

• Engagement of the community through the Farmers Anti-Stock-theft Committee, to assist in the fight against stock-theft.

• Collaboration with other stakeholders in the fight against cross-border crime, to further enhance the Botswana Police Service personnel deployed along the affected areas of the boundary (joint patrols).
• Implementation of the resolutions reached at several fora such as the Joint Permanent Commission (JPC), quarterly bilateral meetings, BI-National Commission, the one that will be sitting in a week’s time.

• The formation of a fully-fledged Anti-Stock Theft Branch within law enforcement.
• Mr Speaker, it is our view that these interventions yield positive results as they enhance information sharing and intelligence-led operations/investigations which results in interceptions or recovery of some stolen stock and reduction of stock theft cases.

(iii) Mr Speaker, I am aware of the digital solutions offered by Information Technology (IT) companies that could be used to monitor herds/livestock.
This is an area that we are exploring as Government, as we continue to digitise our systems in line with the RESET Agenda as the Honourable Member rightly stated in his question.

Farmers are encouraged to utilise technology to increase security of their livestock.
The use of licensed drones, ear tagging, setting up geo fences, some of the technologies that we are exploring, have in some countries proven to be of great help to farmers in that geo fences assist in defined digital parameters and once such are breached, alarms/signals are sent to farmers to warn them of a potential breach that could pose danger to their animals or livestock.
(iv) Mr Speaker, the farmers, whose cattle has been stolen and found in neighbouring countries are assisted in several ways; 20 Hansard No 205Thursday 17th February, 2022LEADER OF THE HOUSE’S QUESTION TIME • Transport and other logistics at Government cost to identify their livestock.

• Following identification, farmers are assisted with importation processes for such livestock in a situation where there is no disease outbreak.
• Where there is a disease outbreak, farmers are compensated following destruction of their stock.

• In countries where importation of livestock is prohibited, farmers are accompanied by police officers for auction sales, proceeds of which they are entitled to.

(v) Mr Speaker, combating cross border crime including Stock Theft has always been Government priority.

This is demonstrated by the various strategies as stated in part (ii) of this response.
These national strategies and protocols are continuously reviewed as and when necessary to improve efforts to mitigate cross border theft.

Over and above the current strategies in place, the BI- National Commissions form a part of a bigger strategy that Government uses to combat cross border rustling.

Mr Speaker, that is the response.


Ka bokhutshwane fela ke sa batle go jela batlotlegi nako ka gore ba tlaa nna le dipotso, ke ne ke re ke supe fela jalo gore ke boammaaruri go na le letshwenyego la go utswiwa ga leruo le tlodisetswa mo mafatsheng a a bapileng.

E bile gape ke supile ka dipalo mafelo a motlotlegi a neng a boditse ka one a leruo le barui ba tshwenyegileng ka lone le le utswiwang.
O amile ntlha ya gore Bobonong mo nakong e e fa moragonyana, go ne ga tlhomiwa batlhotlhomisi go bona gore se se diragalang ka kwa, se ka fedisiwa ka tsela e e ntseng jang.

Ke boammaaruri Mr Speaker, gore commission e ne ya tlhomiwa, mme e setse e roletse Ofisi ya ga Tautona pego ya bone.

E na le recommendations tse di supang gore e ke e e amogelesegileng, e can be modified kana e e ka nama e beilwe pele fale.
Ntlo e e tlaa itsisiwe ka botlalo fa Tautona a setse a lebile report eo, a bo a bona gore a re e neele e nne in the public consumption.

Go tlaa nna jalo ka nako eo Mr Speaker, ka jalo, ga re ka ke ra bua ka tse di mo go yone mo nakong ya gompieno.
Ke supile ka botlalo mo karabong ya me gore didirisiwa tsa segompieno di teng, tse di ka dirisiwang go bona gore a mme leruo fa le tsamaela go tlola melelwane, go ne go ka se ke go dirwe ditsela tse go ka salwang morago, ga latedisiwa gore di tsamaela fa kae, di ka bonwa kae.

Ke ntlha e ke supileng gore didirisiwa tseo di teng, go santse go sekasekiwa tse di ka kgonagalang mo nakong ya gompieno.

Go na le golo gatwe drones, ke tsaya gore Batswana ba di itse thata ka gore go buiwa thata ka tsone.
E bile go na le dilo gatwe geo fencing, le tsone ke didirisiwa tse o ka supang ka boranyane gore fa selo se tlola, go bo ga ka nna le gone to report mo go bao gore selo se ka tswa se tlodile fa o radileng teng.

A re re gongwe geo fencing o dira polase ya gago, o e tsenya boranyane jone joo, e tlaare fa di tlola boundary e o tlaabong o e tsentse, di bo di ka supa di letsa alarm gore dikgomo di dule mo polaseng.
Ka go rialo Mr Speaker, e ne e le tsone dikarabo tsa dipotso tse motlotlegi a di boditseng, ke mo lebogele go botsa dipotso tseo.

Ke a itse gore phefo e fokela kae, tota ene o ne a batla go botsa ka commission, mme e tlaa tla Lucas.

Ntle gape ke lebogele pego e Mmaetsho Serame a re e beileng fa pele ya Budget ya kgaoganyo ya madi a ngwaga wa 2022/2023.

She has an impeccable track record e rotlhe re e itseng a le mo bodirelapusong, tsotlhe tse a di dirileng le fa a le kwa Ministry wa Trade re ntse re itse, a tshwere ka manontlhotlho Mr Speaker.
It is only fair gore re lemoge e bile re mo eleletse katlego mo boikarabelong jo jwa gagwe, jo Tautona a boneng go tshwanela e bile le rona re dumela gore ka boammaaruri o tlaa nna a ntse a tswelela a isa lefatshe la rona kwa pele mo boikarabelong jo jwa gagwe jo bosha.

Mr Speaker, ntle ke boele mo kgannyeng e e leng fa pele ga rona.
Kana sengwe se ke batlang go se nopola fa ke simolola Mr Speaker ke gore, Minister o supile mo pegong ya gagwe gore 2022/2023 Kgaoganyo ya madi a Setšhaba, sengwe se se botlhokwa ke gore ke ngwaga wa bofelo mo togamaanong ya tsa NDP 11.

Jaanong motho o ka botsa Mr Speaker, gore what is the significance of that to motho a tshwana le yo o kwa Moremi, Maunatlala, o bo o fologa ka Lentswemathakola le bo Mokungwane jalo Mr Speaker.
Botlhokwa jwa teng bo fa Mr Speaker, gore kana go raya gore ke ngwaga o re konetelelang NDP 11, e e leng gore e ne e na le mananeo a a farologaneng, a re neng re solofela Mr Speaker, gore re le Puso le lefatshe e tlaa re ka ngwaga o fa o ya fifing, re bo re a dirile.

Mr Speaker, mo pegong ya ga Minister o supile gore dingwaga tsa ntlha tsa NDP 11, indeed dilo di ne di solofetsa gore re ya go goroga, re tlaa lala re kgonne seelo se re se ipeetseng.
Ka go tlhoka lesego, the last part of NDP 11 jaaka ke re re ya kwa motsubong jaaka Minister a supile, ra tlhoka lesego la go nna jalo ka mabaka a re setseng re a itse a COVID-19 and the rest is history Mr Speaker.

Ke one a ke batlang go supa jaana gore tsotlhe tse dintsi tse re neng re di solofetse le kwa Kgaolong ya Lerala-Maunatlala re di solofeditse Bakgopeng, bontsi jwa tsone ga di a kgonega.
Se se tlang mo tlhaloganyong ya me ka nako yone e Mr Speaker, ke bua ke leba kgaolo e tshwana le ya Ratholo, kwa re neng re solofetse gore expansion ya clinic e ya go nna teng.

Kgaolo e tshwana le ya Matlhakola if I am 28 Hansard No 205Thursday 17th February, 2022APPROPRIATION (2022/2023) BILL, 2022 (NO.

2 OF 2022) Second Reading (Resumed Debate) not wrong, re ne re solofetse the same gore clinic e ya go atolosiwa.
Re ba re solofela go le teng mo NDP 11 Mr Speaker, gore re ya go bona sepatela kwa Lerala sa Primary Hospital le clinic kwa Maunatlala if I may just cite a few.
Mr Speaker, re na le tsholofelo re le ba Lerala-Maunatlala gore as we migrate into NDP 12, tsholofelo le tumelo ya me ke gore these were priorities mo NDP 11 and lephata le le maleba ke leba Rre Dikoloti le monnawe Rre Lelatisitswe, le bodiredi jwa botsogo, they will still put and take dilo tse e ntse e le priorities ka gore ga re a di kgona mme e bile seemo gompieno sa botsogo mo Kgaolong ya Lerala-Maunatlala, ga se ise se tokafale ka tsela epe Mr Speaker.
They were identified as priorities then, they are still priorities today and they will be more than a priority tomorrow.

Ke one a ke reng fa e re re ya kwa pele Mr Speaker, ke batla go bua ka tswee-tswee ke sa bonyabonye gore tsone tse, we have an obligation go bona gore di a diragala.
Some years ago tse re neng re le bana fa go buiwa ka Alma-Ata Declaration, re santse re bua ka dielo tsa radius ya bo 10 kilometres (km) to have accessed ditlamelo tsa botsogo, nako ya teng re ne re santse gongwe re bua ka a health post.

Dilo ka fa di fetogileng ka teng Mr Speaker, the health landscape has completely changed ka tsela e e leng gore gompieno ga re sa tlhola re ka bua ka health post.
Fa re bua ka accessing ditlamelo tsa botsogo, tsholofelo ke gore bogolo re bo re bua ka a primary hospital Mr Speaker.

As we speak, fa motho a le mo Lerala- Maunatlala, the nearest fa o ka akanya a primary hospital is 100 kilometres (km) or 50 km away.

So we have completely in that regard, fallen short of maitlamo a Alma-Ata declaration which were made so many years ago Mr Speaker.
Ke batla go bua gore, fa re tsaya kgang yone e, since 2019, ga ke ise ke ko ke eme mo Palamenteng ke tlhoke go e bua, gore there is so much deficit fa go buiwa ka tsa botsogo mo Lerala-Maunatlala.

I have said before that we need to make an audit mo maphateng ka go farologana, re bone fa e leng gore maiteko a a kanakana a re a dirileng re le lefatshe, re le ba botsogo, ke fa kae mo maphateng a a faologanyeng a e leng gore there is a serious deficit.
Mo Lephateng la Botsogo Mr Speaker, there is so much deficit mo Lerala-Maunatlala.

Ke one a ke neng ke re, gongwe ke e bue fela ke feta ka mafoko one ao ke re, dilo tse Mr Speaker, go ya kwa pele re bone gore re ka dira jang gore golo gongwe le bone ba tle baakanye.

Boammaaruri jo bo tshelang ke gore, bontsi jwa bone ke tlhola ke na le bone, I think se ba setseng ba se bua ke gore Jesu wee, Jesu wee.
Kgang e nngwe e ke batlang go bua ka yone ke ya decentralisation le CCP tse e leng gore Minister o di amile.

Ke batla go gwetlha bagarona gore re tshwanetse re tlhaloganye decentralisation e le tsela; a means to the end ya gore re ka dira jang go isa ditlamelo kwa bathong.

Kgang e, ke itse gore bontsi jwa rona fa gongwe before re akanya ka service delivery, re setse re akanya fela ka gore re batla village district kana sub district.

Ga go na thuso e ba e bonang.

Jaanong re le toropo ya Francistown, fa ba bangwe ba ise ba thusiwe, go raya gore rona re sule, mme ra re we are the second city of Francistown.
Selo se ke go supa gore party ya rona e e busang mo nakong ya gompieno, ga e ele toropokgolo ya Francistown tlhoko.

Selo se re tshwanetse re se lebelele, re se baakanye.

Ga re ka ke ra tsholwa ka tsamaiso e le tlaa re buisang dipuo tsa semorafe.

Jaanong se eteletse kwa pele gore kwa Bokalaka ga re ba sepe, batho ke ba ba kwa South.

Nnyaa mme ga go a nna jalo.

Mongwe o dira ka go palelwa le corruption ya gagwe.

A diemo tse di baakanngwe mo toropokgolo ya Francistown le rona re alafiwe.
Mo toropokgolo e ya bobedi, sepatela se re nang le sone se tsaya batho ba le 400.

Se tsaya batho go tswa kwa Serowe, Bobonong, North, kaekae e le referral hospital.

Mo go rayang gore ga re na sepatela mo Francistown, ke sa Batswana.

Re kopile for the past 15 years gore re batla sepatela sa bobedi mo Francistown se se itebagantseng le balwetse ba toropokgolo ya Francistown ba ba over 100, 000.

Re le tšhaba, re tshwanetse ra nna le sepatela sa rona se se re lebaganeng bagaetsho.
Selo se re a se kopa mme re bonwa se tsewa sepolotiki.

Ke biditse Honourable Dr Madigele a tla fa a le Tona, go ntse ga go nne botoka.

Honourable Minister Dikoloti o tsile o a itse gore sepatela sa rona sa Nyangabgwe is a butchery.

Ga go na sepatela teng.

Ke a itse gore go na le batho ba ba nonofileng teng, ba bongaka ba ba nang le dikitso.

Puso ya lefatshe leno e sa ba neele madi gore ba reke dipilisi le equipment.
Equipment di sale di tla ka ngwaga wa 1988 sepatela se bulwa.

Golo moo ke bosetlhogo mo tsa pereko Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Mo go Palamente re mo mathateng.

A re santse re ithuta go busa le mo nakong ya gompieno mabapi le tsa pereko?

South Africa ke e re bapile le yone e, fela fa o sa tseye babereki sentle, o tseelwa dikgato.
Batho betsho, babereki ba lefatshe la Botswana ba bereka mo dikomponeng tsa maChina le tsa merafe e mengwe ka one month contracts for more than seven years.

Dilo tse, under BDP di siame fela.

Bagaetsho, golo mo go supa kwa bofelelong gore naare fa mathata a sale a simolola re tsaya boipuso, mo ngwageng o mathata a ntse a re setse morago, go raya gore bokgoni jwa BDP bo phuphame e bile ga re na tsholofelo mo go jone.
Bagaetsho, go na le kgang e ke batlang gore… ke utlwile Tona a re go tlaa hirwa barutabana ba le 3,500.

This is a lie.

I will tell you why Mr Speaker; it is a blue lie.

Mo nakong e e fetileng ka 2017/2018, Tona yo o neng a le kwa Office of the President o ne a bega mo Palamenteng gore ba ya go hira barutabana ba le 10,000.

Le ipoka mo Palamenteng, Batswana bone ba ngomola pelo ba bolawa ke tlala ba le unemployed.

This has to stop somewhere and it is now that we should tell people to stop telling the people the lies; finish and klaar.

A maaka a fele fela re bueng gore se re a se dira re bo re bona maduo a sone within 12 months.

Batho ba solofeditswe ke Dr Mogae le Dr Khama gore ba tlaa bereka mme ga ba bereke.

That is why ke e bitsa gore tsholofelo e ke maaka, finish and klaar.
Ga re ka ke ra tshela jalo re le tšhaba ya Botswana re ntse re utlwa gore madi a rinwa ka lesika, botsala le batswakwa.

MR MOSWAANE: Nnyaa, a ko o itidimalele tlhe mma.

I thought you are talking something tlhe mma.

You are wasting my time.

Thank you.

Mr Speaker, mma ke bue ka dikgang tse dingwe tse di botlhokwa.
Re le tšhaba ya Botswana, re agilwe ka structures tsa Palamente, Cabinet, Local Authority le dilo tsotlhe fela tse di tlhokafalang gore re nne tšhaba mme fa o tla bonang gore dilo tse dingwe fa ke go raya 35 Hansard No 205Thursday 17th February, 2022APPROPRIATION (2022/2023) BILL, 2022 (NO.
2 OF 2022) Second Reading (Resumed Debate) ke re ke maaka ga di a siama, two years ago re ne re le mo Palamenteng ya lefatshe la Botswana re fetisa (approve) budget e e nang le 6 per cent ya makhanselara, mme madi a teng a tsene ka ga re itse.

Re a kopile re re re ya go a neela makhanselara, re a fetisa re re re ya go a neela makhanselara.

Re neetse badirelapuso 6 per cent wa bone re bo re nyelela ka 6 per cent wa makhanselara.
Dilo tseo ke tsone ditori tse di serious tse ke tsayang gore ga di amogelesege.

Jaanong ke di bitse ke re ke eng tsone dilo tsone tse?

If you can tell the Honourable Councillors gore re le tsenyeditse 6 per cent a bo a nyelela without an apology, dilo tse ke tsone tse ke reng ga ke di amogele gotlhelele.

Bagaetsho, go na le ba ba reng go buiwa ditori fela tse di serious.

Batho betsho, ke le Moswaane ke lapile e bile ke a bona gore dilo tse ga di tsamae sentle.
Re mo nakong ya gore budget ya lefatshe la Botswana e ka kgona go duela bagodi P1,500 e bo e bile ba ntshiwa botlhe mo Ipelegeng; P1,500 go bo gotwe ba tswe mo Ipelegeng.

Go a kgonagala fa e le gore corruption e ka emisiwa, fa e le gore go senya go ka emisiwa, fa e le gore Puso e e ka nonofela go bona gore batswakwa ga se bone ba neelwang tenders tse ba tsayang madi ba bo ba boela kwa mafatsheng a bone ka one.

Batho ba rona ba ka duelwa madi a a botoka.


Gompieno jaana dishopo tse ditona fa di bega, businesses tse ditona fa di ntsha financial reports, ba supa gore ba dira profits tsa millions and millions.

Ke one madi a re batlang gore a neelwe batho bao.

Ke one a re a batlang one ao, a le eletsang gore batswakwa ba hume ka one ba bo ba tsamaya ka one.

Budget ya P18 billion e a tsamaya e tswela kwa ntle ga lefatshe.
Part of this recurrent budget e e rekang dithoto e tlile go neelwa batho ba ba tswelelang ba boela kwa mafatsheng a bone.

Madi ao fa a ne a nna mo gae, invested mono a fenngwa ke bone, batho ba can be paid better.

Ke nako ya gore maVDC ba neelwe madi a a botoka, VDC le yone e ka neelwa P1,500 plus the sitting allowance, go pala eng?

Rakgare o ne a bua gone fa a re le amogela ma P141,000, go pala eng gore maVDC ba a bone?

A pala fela fa go buiwa ka VDC?

Nnyaa, dilo tse dingwe ga ke dumalane le tsone.


Destitute persons; batlhoki ba sokola go sokola ka P550 wa grocery, that was approved three years ago, ditlhwatlhwa di ile kwa godimo, yet we can go to the shops o bo o rekela dintsa tsa gago grocery ya P1,500.

O bo o bona gore motho yo mongwe ga a ka ke a tshwanelwa ke go amogela P1,500, mme ntsa e na le budget ya P1,500 mo lelwapeng.

So dilo tse a re di lebeleleng.

Banalebogole le bone a ko re direng se se tshwanetseng, re ba neeleng madi a a botoka.
Le bone ba tshwanelwa fela ke gore ba ka bo ba ntse ba bona P1,500, banalebogole ba e leng gore ke diritsa mo malwapeng a bone.

Ba tshwanetse gore ba bo ba bona P1,500.

Ga go na yo o ka nthayang a re o a bona kae, lona fa le batla madi le a tsaya kae?

Le bone ba tlaa a tsaya gone kwa le a tsayang teng.

Jaanong ke dilo tse re tshwanetseng ra di lebelela.

Ipelegeng le yone e tshwanetse go tswa fa e leng teng.

Re pepetleditse for many years ka Ipelegeng.


A Ipelegeng ba neelwe a minimum wage ba theogele eight hours a day, go berekwe.

Labour intensive programmes di tswelele, jaaka Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) e kopa, simple!

Gatwe madi a tlaa tsewa kae Honourable Modukanele, re a tsaya kwa o a tsayang teng, re ya go a tsaya gone koo.

Re a lata gone koo.

A timela fela kwa a leng teng fa e le gore a batlelwa batlhoki ba Botswana, nnyaa re a tsaya gone koo.
One a tenders tsa di million-million a a fenngwang ke ditsala, ke one a re a batlang gore re ye go duela batho ba rona ka one.

Ke na le mathata a matona on this budget, bana ba ba tsenang mo brigades le kwa technical colleges ba ba neelwang ma P300, it is so painful.

Brigades bogologolo di ne di siame, e tshwanang Tutume Brigade it was catering for batho ba Tutume Sub-District, ya Nswazwi catered for batho ba Nswazwi, ya Matsitama catered for batho ba Matsitama.
Gompieno brigade ya Nswazwi e tshwanetse go amogela ngwana a tswa kwa Gantsi.

Mme a bo a tswa all the way from Gantsi a bo a tla go nna mo Nswazwi, go bo gotwe o neelwa P300, a reke dijo ka P300.

Three hundred pula!

ngwana a reka dijo, a hirisa, nnyaa!

golo mo ke stories tse serious mo go maswe.

Ga ke dumalane le lona, gore le latole madi le ntse le itse go a dirisa, ga go a tshwanela.

Ke batla gore bana ba sekole, ba brigades a ba ko ba akanyediwe madi a a botoka.
Akanya fela gore Francistown College of Education e na le more than 300 ya bana ba ba tswang lefatshe lotlhe ba ba nnang outside school, gatwe ba hirise ka P300, ba bo ba reke dijo ka P300.

Ke sone se ke reng, golo mo jaanong kwa BDP go tšhaisitswe, e bile go lebetswe.

Go lebetswe, gatwe madi re a go a tsaya kae?

Re a go a tsaya kwa re tsayang a lona a salaries teng, re a go a tsaya kwa le tsayang allowances tsa Matona teng.
Re a go a tsaya kwa le tsayang allowances tsa bopalamente teng, re a tsaya gone koo.

Botswana Democratic Party a ko e itlhalose, e tlhalosetse Batswana gore gatwe mathata ke eng.

Ke tsaya gore dilo tse Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente, banana, badiragatsi, batho botlhe ba a sokola.
Basadibagolo ba a sokola, P100 o le mo tsentseng, le fa gotwe lemme ga le bolae, bagaetsho akanyetsang bagolo, ba bereketse lefatshe le.

Akanyetsang bagolo.

Ke dumalana le Motlotlegi Rakgare fa a re madi a a teng.

Mme ke ne ke akantse gore he should donate kwa go bo kukuago, a supa gore madi a ga a na tiro le one, bagabone ba a tlhoka, ga a ise le fa e le P1 kwa teng.
Jaanong ke ne ke re Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente, budget e I approve it ka meno a maleele ka lebaka la gore it does not cover dikgang tsa mohumanegi.

Batho ga ba bereke, ba bolawa ke tlala, ba a sokola.

and yet we are sitting here re ntsha budget ya bahumi gotwe re ya go dira ditsela le ntse le itse gore le na le cuts mo teng, that is wrong.

Ka e bile le yone tlala e tlaa nna e ntse e le teng.

Ke gore re bone gore re ka tsutlaganya jang.

Gape re lebelele tse re ka di dirisang, bogolo jang mo talents, dikitso tsa rona, re bone gore re ka atolosa jang tse di teng.
Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente, Tona o ne a re tsamaisa loeto, bogolo thata jang ka gore o ne a re le lebeleleng mo a go bitsang basic principles tsa budget e. A tsamaya ka Mid-Term Review ya NDP 11, Lenaneo la Ditogamaano, a re tsenya mo Economic Recovery and Transformation Plan (ERTP), ra leba di State of the Nation Addresses (SONA) tse di fetileng, jaanong re mo budget ya gompieno.

Ra fokotsa melao e e re itsang gore re ngoke kana re dire ditirelo mo gae, mme e bile re tsenye tsone tse di ka thusang gore re fokotse direpodi tse di mo tseleng, mo gotweng regulation and structural reforms tsa go dira thulaganyo e e ntseng jaana.

E bo e le gore re tla ka mananeo a e leng gore le gone mo go tsenya madi mo go Goromente, mo gotweng a sustainable funding of Government.
Dilo tse ke tse re tshwanetseng go itebaganya le tsone, re bone gore re ka thusa jang mo go tsutlaganyeng madi mo, gore re tle re kgone go fitlhelela Motswana mongwe le mongwe kwa gae.

E re ke le foo rra ke santse ke leboga Tona ka tse a re di beileng pele, ke dumedise le Batswana kwa gae, bogolo jang kwa Kgaolong ya gaetsho ya Ramotswa Constituency; ba le kwa Letsekela, Mogobane, Taung, le kwa Ramotswa, le masimo otlhe a bone.
Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente, ga go belaetsege gore ditiro di potlana, e bile ga di teng, ga di lekane batho ba botlhe ba ba mo lefatsheng.

Se re se humileng ke gore, thuto re na le yone, dikitso re na le tsone tse di neng di ntse di tla ka yone thuto e e anameng le lefatshe ya madi a mabotlana.
Ka jalo, ke ne ke solofela gore re ka tshwanelwa ke gore re lebelele talents tsele gore re ka di dirisa jang gore le fa ditiro di seyo, mme gone ditshono di teng, mo ka Sekgowa 37 Hansard No 205Thursday 17th February, 2022APPROPRIATION (2022/2023) BILL, 2022 (NO.

2 OF 2022) Second Reading (Resumed Debate) gotweng “jobs may be scarce, but there are abundant opportunities.” Jaanong re lebelele opportunities tse re bone gore mme re ka tsena fa kae, ka tsela e e ntseng jang.
Ya ditiro yone ke solofela gore e tlaa re fa re debate Committee of Supply e e tlaa tlang mo dibekeng tse di tlang tse pedi tse, re bo re ka kgona go ala ditiro ka go farologana le kwa di tlaa tswang teng ditiro tseo ka go tlhomagana ga tsone.

Fa ke boela mo kgannyeng e ke ne ke re, kana opportunities di di ntsi.
Go ne go le maabane fela jaana re itemogela gore e rile ba Agriculture ba tswala borders gore horticultural products di se ka tsa tsena ka kwano, go ne ga dira gore dingwe tse re di tlhokang thata re di dirisa letsatsi le letsatsi, di tlhokafale; di tshwana le bo ditapole jaana.

Ke re, golo foo ke opportunity e e leng gore ba ba nang le lerato la horticulture, ba ka tsena mo go yone, ba dira ka bonatla mo tseleng e e ntseng jalo gore ba nonotshe market o wa horticulture wa ditapole.
E bile ba sa tshoswe ke gore a go na le big chain stores because re kgona gore jaanong opportunity e nngwe ke to develop horticultural market e jaanong e ka dirang gone foo, re rekisetsa Batswana bagarona ba ba bayang ditafole fa pele ga dishopo tse, ra tswa mo goreng nnyaa, ba dishopo tse ditona ga ba reke product kana produce tsa rona.

These are opportunities tse re buang ka tsone.


Kana e bile mo sekgoeng fa o lebelela lefoko le la gore re tshwanetse tota ra tswa mo goreng re poor; poor literally means passing over opportunities repeatedly.

Jaanong, a re tlogeleng go tlogela ditshono tse, re lebile fela mo goreng se se ka ntshetsang ke go bona tiro.

Fa go padile o sena go leka dingwaganyana kana eng jalo, bona gore jaanong o ka dirisa eng dithuto tsa gago go dira jalo ka gore ditshono tsone di nna di le teng ka tsela e e ntseng jalo.
Ke tsamaela mo mafokong a gagwe, e ne ya re fela mo Page 2, Paragraph 6, a re itsise jalo gore P3 billion o tlaa mo neela public infrastructure.

Betsho, se se itumedisang ke gore dilo tse di tshwanetse tsa neelwa dikompone tsa ga rona mono Botswana, tse di nang le basimolodi le directors tsa tsone.
Se ke batlang gore se nne sustainable, se nne se le teng ka dinako tsotlhe, e se ka ya nna gore ke ne ka bona tironyana ele e nngwefela, ke gore a dikompone tse jaanong di itse gore re na le lekgotla le bidiwa Botswana Stock Exchange (BSE).

Ba a bo ba ntse e le gore ba na le batho ba e leng gore ba ka ba rotloetsa ka madi a bone, ka go reka diabe ka tsela e e ntseng jalo.

Golo moo go thusa gore le kompone e itshetele e le ya Setswana.

Ke gone jaaka e le gore we are sustaining the Citizen Economic Empowerment (CEE), re bo re itse gore jaanong re tsamaela kwa pele.

A boa gape a supa mo Page 12, Paragraph 38, implementation of programmes and projects.

A bua thata ka lengthy privatisation delays.

Ee, ke boammaaruri bagaetsho.


Kana the State-owned Enterprises (SOEs) ke tsone tse go hirilweng batho koo, go tliswa ditirelo tsa teng, mme fa e le gore jaanong re tlaabo re di tlogela fela e le gore ga di dire se di tshwanetseng gore se di dire, kante tse di sa direng sentle re di tlogela fela di tsamaya jalo, go ya go re raya gore jaanong re ntse re a senyegelwa ka gore di tsaya madi mo go Goromente.
Jaanong tota ke nako ya gore dilo tse di kgone gore di neelwe tshono ya gore di ikemele ka nosi, di kgone gore di ye go batla madi kwa makgotleng a tshwana le bo Stock Exchange jalo, di dire ditirelo tsa one.

Ka jalo, ka gore ba tlaabo ba itse gore ba dirisa madi a batho, there will be much more accountability ya go dira jalo, mme le bone ba tlaabo jaanong ba itshetela le go atolosa ditirelo tsa bone.
This is what we term “the private sector led economic growth.” Ka jalo, re solofela gore golo mo go ka re thusa mo ditseleng tse ntseng jalo.

This is what we are talking about.


Goromente a tle a kgone go ithola mo go direng business because as far as I am concerned, Government has no business doing business.

Mr Speaker, kgetsi ya puo ga e nke e tlala, I therefore submit to support this budget with the aforementioned elements executed timeously.

I thank you Mr Speaker.

MINISTER OF LAND MANAGEMENT, WATER AND SANITATION SERVICES (MR MZWINILA): I thank you Honourable Speaker.
I would like to first of all in my contribution, show my support to the Honourable Minister and her 2022/23 budget.

Mr Speaker, the 2022/23 Budget Speech by Honourable Peggy Serame showed that the devastating effects of COVID-19 pandemic on our economy has slowed down our progress towards the achievement of the objectives set out in Vision 2036.
Nevertheless, the Budget Speech also highlighted a number of strategies that will be implemented to ensure that despite the lost time, the country will still be able to attain the objectives of Vision 2036.

Mr Speaker, the Budget Speech was special in the sense that for the first time, it was presented by an Honourable female Finance Minister, the first time this has happened since we have attained independence.
This is an important step towards achieving gender equality in our social, economic and political spheres.

As already highlighted by Honourable Serame in her speech, this should inspire women and young girls to have the courage to take leadership positions and contribute to the socio-economic development of Botswana.

42 Hansard No 205Thursday 17th February, 2022APPROPRIATION (2022/2023) BILL, 2022 (NO.
2 OF 2022) Second Reading (Resumed Debate) Mr Speaker, the Budget Speech comes at a time when the country enters into the final year of NDP 11.

Economic progress during NDP 11 was mainly retarded by the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic.

However, the success of the country’s vaccination programme is expected to see high positive economic growth, which should be reflective in the 2021 period and the projections for 2022.
The rebound and growth is going to also help reduce unemployment, which rose in the past two years of the pandemic as the economic activities slowed down due to the restrictive measures that were needed to contain the spread of the deadly Coronavirus.

Mr Speaker, during NDP 11 our country has been experiencing persistent budget deficit.
The Budget Speech rightly emphasises the need to implement structural reforms in order to increase the growth rate, boost job creation, improve productivity and reduce poverty and inequality, as well as leading to economic diversification.

Mr Speaker, in line with tradition of consulting relevant stakeholders, our Government conducted a series of dialogues or Budget Pitsos in a spirit of promoting openness and inclusivity in the formulation of the National Budget.
The main findings from the aforementioned consultative meetings included first, the emphasis on the need to refocus public spending on national priorities and needs.

It was correctly observed that in the previous years, a large proportion of Government spending goes to the Recurrent Budget while a small portion is allocated to the Development Budget.

Most of the Recurrent Budget is channeled towards the payment of wages and salaries, grants and subventions to Local Authorities and state-owned enterprises.
Mr Speaker, as a listening Government, through the Ministry of Finance and Economic Developments, we have decided to implement suggestions from the Budget Pitso and implement the necessary adjustments to Government expenditure, which will entail a switch with the view to achieving a reasonable balance between Recurrent and Development Budget.

The emphasis coming out of the Budget Pitso on the need to continue to save Batswana from the COVID-19 pandemic is commendable.
We need to continue to vaccinate and our vaccination efforts and observance of COVID-19 protocols are important so as to contain the spread of the virus.

Government has responded to the call to prioritise the fight against COVID- 19 by allocating 18.7 per cent or P10.01 billion of the Recurrent Budget to the Ministry of Health and Wellness with P3.93 billion of the Development Budget earmarked for COVID-19 containment measures.
It is important to also thank Batswana for their resilience and adherence to COVID-19 protocols together with their rapid uptake of vaccines.

I wish to encourage all Batswana to continue with this and to take advantage of the booster shoots, which are available local.

The same gratitude is also extended to the business community and Botswana’s development partners who were very supportive to Government’s efforts to combat COVID-19.
Mr Speaker, the six key initiatives which the Budget intends to fund in order to cater for the needs of Batswana focus primarily on these following issues; (1) Maintenance of public infrastructure.
(2) Reserving the budget for CCP to the contractors in the immediate locality of that area, (3) On maintaining or for increasing the Budget allocation social welfare programmes, including increasing wages and subventions to social welfare programmes and the amounts that beneficiaries receive, (4) Funding the developments of sporting talent, (5) Allocating additional resources to support the digital transition and (6) Allowing or cushioning for the Budget deficits.
Among other things these initiatives will stimulates economies of local communities, create employment opportunities and cushion the vulnerable members of the society from poverty.

Notably, the reserving of most of the maintenance projects for citizen-owned companies supports the Citizen Economic Empowerment (CEE) Policy.
The outstanding performance of our athletes or the country’s athletes team at last year’s Olympic games shows that the country has abundance of sporting of talent which needs Government support.

Therefore, the channelling of funds to the development of sports is a timely call and it will help curb youth unemployment.

Moreover, sport has the ability to unify the country as observed last year when the country united to offer moral support to the country’s Olympics team.
43 Hansard No 205Thursday 17th February, 2022APPROPRIATION (2022/2023) BILL, 2022 (NO.
2 OF 2022) Second Reading (Resumed Debate) Delisting on the grey listing of Botswana by the Financial Action Taskforce (FATF) in October of 2021 and the expected removal of Botswana from the European Union (EU) blacklists are very important for Botswana because they will improve the ease of doing business in the country, thereby increasing the desirability of the country as a destination of choice for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI).
An increase in the flow of FDI will compliment Government’s efforts to create employment and stimulate growth.

This will create the multiplier effect in the sense that FDI will lead to other sectors of the economy also being empowered and will also lead to economic diversification.

Mr Speaker, the key sets or the national priorities and strategic objectives that were outline in the Mid- Term Review of NDP 11 included the ERTP and was complemented by the RESET Agenda.
The proposed Budget is premised on four key strategic priorities namely; saving Batswana the COVID-19 pandemic, infrastructure development, social welfare and service delivery reforms.

from With respect to saving Batswana from COVID-19, the work being done by the Ministry of Health and Wellness through the national deployment and vaccination plan with respect to the roll out of the vaccine should be praised.
The goal to vaccinate 80 per cent of the eligible population by the end of the first quarter of 2022 is on track and Botswana currently has the highest vaccination rate in Sub-Saharan Africa.

These achievements are key to the country’s economic recovery especially through the resurgence of the tourism and hospitality industry.

A revived tourism industry will create jobs and help lessen the burden of unemployment especially among the youth.
Mr Speaker, the establishment of a vaccine manufacturing plant in Botswana is a proactive move towards combating COVID-19 and will build a country’s capacity to fight pandemics through speedy production and availing of necessary vaccines.

It would also aid in the realisation of a knowledge-based economy.
Moreover, considering that we seek to diversify our revenue base, export of vaccines will offer the country an important source of revenue to further drive towards the achievements of the nation’s aspirations as espoused in Vision 2036, especially the transition from upper middle income to high-income status.

the upcoming financial year, the Development Budget has been increased by 12 per cent from the previous financial year’s Budget.
Intended investments in solar power generation bode well with Pillar 1 of Vision 2036 on environment sustainability considering that solar power is renewable.

Moreover, this allows us to take advantage of our prevailing weather conditions where the sun is available throughout the year.

These investments will reduce the cost of electricity in the country and further support growth.
Furthermore, the engagements of independent power producers in power generation will increase efficiencies and further lower electricity cost.

This will benefit both household and business consumers of electricity.

In terms of infrastructure development, I wish that going forward in the next Budgets, we can see at least 25 per cent of the total Budget being reserved for the Development Budget.

As you know, Budget is divided into the Recurrent and Development.
A cornerstone of aggressive economic development is a higher proportion of the Budget being retained for the Development Budget.

This creates an enabling environment for job creation.

It creates and enabling environment for economic diversification, economic growth coupled with human development.
Land management is one of the sectors which are heavily involved in infrastructure development as a land parcel or plot is a basic, fundamental, preliminary or primary infrastructure that is necessary for economic growth and economic diversification.

We have been having challenges in terms of provision of plots, predominantly residential plots and one of the reasons is that land is a finite a resource and we have to be careful in the way and manner in which we allocate plots.
We have to be mindful that we allocate plots for the present generation but we are holding land in trusts for future generations.

Thus in our attitude of posture towards land management, you always have to understand that we are holding land in trusts for future generations and we are unable to continue with unsustainable provision of plots.
We do admit and understand that there have been delays in plot allocation and we are doing a number of things or embarking on number initiatives to ensure that within the next 12 months, we can cater for allocation of at least 100, 000 residential plots.

infrastructure development forms Mr Speaker, the foundation for economic growth and human development in any country.
I am pleased to learn that in The challenges of land allocation have been due to the various factors in terms of the role of each factor in land allocation.

The first issue with land allocation or 44 Hansard No 205Thursday 17th February, 2022APPROPRIATION (2022/2023) BILL, 2022 (NO.

2 OF 2022) Second Reading (Resumed Debate) challenge has been land acquisition.
Most settlements, villages, towns and cities… in order for the city, town or village to expand, we have to expand into land that is already allocated.

It is rare to find land outside settlements which has not been allocated.

So, we have to acquire land from those who already have been allocated it and predominantly is masimo or ploughing field holders.
Now we offer them rates, which we can afford as Government, which we have assessed, the survey has been fair, but usually in the order of increases of 10 fold or even 20 fold, we are short in what the land owners require as adequate compensation.

Thus we have to enter into lengthy negotiations with land owners in terms of how we can acquire their land.
The laws thus provide for us to compulsory acquire that land but as a compassionate and caring Government, we usually avoid going to the extent of compulsory acquisition but we do try to be as accommodating as we can.

HONOURABLE MEMBER: Clarification.

MR MZWINILA: I agree.

MR SPEAKER: Yes clarification.

MR MAJAGA: Point of clarification.

Thank you Mr Speaker and thank you Honourable Minister.
This issue of compensation looking at the value of masimo a batho and other associated land which they own has been going on for some time.

Can you not make it a point that you put up a price which will be more or less the same with private sector and the freehold?
Meaning to say that there would not be exactly the same but at least you put something because it seems as bo Mogoditshane area and other villages expansion, we are caught by people now not letting their fields and other places to the Government because of the low prices but we have been talking about this issue for some years now.

Are you doing something as a ministry?

MR SPEAKER: Honourable Minister.

MR MZWINILA: I thank you Honourable Member.

We are doing something about that.


We want to put parity, equity or equitability in terms of the value of land in tribal land and freehold land.

We want the value paid for both land regiments to be the same.

There are three land regiments; tribal land, state land and freehold land.
We are moving towards the finalisation of parity in terms of what you pay for on each of the land regiments but that has corresponding effects on the amount of money we would require to compensate people because the primary source of the waiting list is in the peri-urban areas around Gaborone and Francistown.

So, those are what are termed as tribal land areas.

So, we want to ensure that we move towards parity in terms of how we compensate people.
Correspondingly, we are going to require more funds and I am under the impression that this Honourable House will agree when we do ask for more funds to ensure that we are able to acquire land at market rates and this will reduce the delay in terms of the acquisition of land.

Another delay in terms of... HONOURABLE MEMBER: Further clarification Minister.

MR MZWINILA: I agree.

DR TSHABANG: Point of clarification.

Through you Mr Speaker.

Thank you Honourable Minister.


Kgang yone ya acquisition of land from individuals, go na le kgang ya gore you have booked some pieces of land mo metseng and beng ba those pieces of land ba emetse lona, ba dumetse gore ba le rekisetse, mme you are not moving ahead to actually pay and take the land.
So, ba ntse fela for six or seven years ba le emetse ba sa itse gore are they going to finally get the payment ba golole the land, le didimetse fela and some of those instances ga re itse gore… how do react to that Minister?

Thank you.

MR MZWINILA: Ke a leboga motlotlegi.

Ke tsaya gore go ntse jalo, go na le maphata a a ntseng a na le bothata kana kgwetlho ya madi.

Kgang ke gore makgotla a kabo ditsha a mangwe a ne a tlhaetswe ke madi a gore a duele batho.

Jaaka ke ne ke bua, re mo tsamaisong.


Fa le ka lebelela, re okeleditswe madi mo ngwageng o o tlang wa madi wa 2022/2023.

Bontlha bongwe jwa madi a ke gore re tle re neele makgotla a kabo ditsha madi gore ba tle ba kgone gore ba tswale dikgang tseo.

So, re mo tseleng ya gore re fedise dikgang tseo.

Re ntse re le reeditse batlotlegi.

Le ntse le ngongorega thata ka kgang e ya tiego ya gore go abiwe ditsha.

Re tsere tshwetso gore re ya go dira fela jaaka le laetse gore re dire, mme re ya go dira jalo.
Another delay in terms of provision of residential plots has been the technical expertise we require for base maps.

The first step of creating plots, whether the serviced or un-serviced plots, is to do what is known as a base map.

To do a base map, we need technical expertise or technical officers.
We have been having a shortage of technical officers and what we are going to do as a ministry, we are going to ensure that we rationalise our 45 Hansard No 205Thursday 17th February, 2022APPROPRIATION (2022/2023) BILL, 2022 (NO.

2 OF 2022) Second Reading (Resumed Debate) positions to ensure that we get more technical officers.

We are going to transfer technical officers from areas of low activity to areas of higher activity like the peri-urban areas.
That is where the waiting lists are mostly concentrated.

For example, we find areas like Mogoditshane having a waiting list of 100, 000 etcetera, etcetera.

So, we are going to rationalise our resources and take them where they are required.

That is another step.

Another issue which has been delaying in terms of provision of this necessary infrastructure has been layout plans.

After the base map is done, the next thing you have to do is a layout plan.

Layout plan is done by physical planners.


We need greater coordination between us and the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development.

We meet regularly.

We have agreed with the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development that we are going to coordinate this better.
We have taken steps, we have done procedures and guidelines of how we are going to ensure that the available resources, the available quantum of physical planners is appropriately used and utilised to ensure that layout plans come out faster.

Also, related to layout plans is in terms of our national development plans, in terms of regional development plans and locality development plans.

We are also going to fast-track those in the ministry to ensure that we carry out those processes expeditiously.
Another delay in terms of plot allocation has been our strategic environmental assessments or the issue of strategic environmental assessments.

We are in discussions with the responsible ministry and we have agreed with them that we are going to see how we can fast-track these sewers and we are going to see where they can be waived.
For example, in villages which are not that large in area and where we think that the sewer may not be that necessary, we are going to ask for exemptions and that will also fast-tract the process.

We will also require to do geotechnical investigations and for that it will require a budget and that is why I am saying that we are looking towards the greater allocation we have been given in the next financial year, to empower us to do all of these things.
What we are committed to do is to ensure that we do allocate as many plots as we can within the next financial year to reduce the waiting list significantly.

We are also looking at land board efficiency.

Land boards can be more efficient and they need to be more efficient.

I have talked to the land boards and I am going to continue talking to them.

I am going to instruct them that they need to be more efficient.
I am going to ensure that I meet them personally and regularly on a monthly basis, all of them and ensure that they do things more effectively and efficiently.

The amount of time they meet must be efficient.

If they require more time to meet, they must justify why they require more time to meet.

We do not have a problem in doubling the amount of time they require to meet, as long as they can justify what they need to do or what they are doing in that time.
I need to understand why some land boards the last time they allocated plots was 2010 or 2012.

That needs to be understood and they need to be held to account for that and need to show cause why they should not be declared as being incompetent.

Where we are at right now in terms of our commitment and assertiveness in addressing these delays in plot allocation, we are at the point that we are going to be very decisive, because the Honourable Members have communicated.
We do listen, we are very attentive to Honourable Members’ comments and we are going to be very decisive in how we address this issue of delays in plot allocation.

We are going to ensure that… HONOURABLE MEMBER: Clarification.

MR MZWINILA: …as I said, I have already informed them or I am meeting them every month.

Every month I am going to require reports.

Those which are not performing, they will have to show cause as to why they should be… HONOURABLE Honourable Mzwinila.
MEMBER: Clarification MR MZWINILA: …and we will need to be very decisive.

MR SPEAKER: There is a request for clarification Honourable Mzwinila, and Kekgonegile.

from Mathoothe MR MZWINILA: Yes, I agree.

I do not know who was first Honourable Speaker.

MR SPEAKER: Mathoothe.

MR MATHOOTHE: Thank you Mr Speaker.

Thank you.

I think that in conclusion Honourable Speaker, I just wanted to point out in terms of land allocation, we are going to ensure that we toe the line in terms of ensuring that our productivity levels, efficiency and effectiveness are commensurate with what the Honourable Members require, request and expect from us.

We will ensure that we do that and we are committed to doing that and I will ensure that the whole ministry is committed to do that.

Mr Speaker, ke tshwanetse ka supa gore dilo tseo ke tsone konokono tse re tshwanetseng gore re le Batlotlegi Mapalamente re di lebelele, segolo jang mo dinakong tse tse di thata tse tsa COVID-19, re itse gore itsholelo ya lefatshe le ya mafatshefatshe e ntse e sa tsamaye sentle kana e le kwa tlase to meet all these demands tse e leng tsa development le itsholelo.

Ke dingwe dilo tse re tshwanetseng gore re di lebelele mo go tseneletseng.
Mr Speaker, budget e ya ga mme re mo akgola jaaka re bo akgola rotlhe jaana, we have hope thata mo go yone.

Gore e re go le mo dinakong tse di thata jaana, re bone go na le nngwe phetogo.

Ke ntse ke utlwa Batlotlegi Mapalamente ba supa fa e le Budget ya mme.

Then re ka dumalana, e bile re ka nna le support e e ntsi.

Fa e ka tla fela Budget e sena any attraction mo matshelong a Batswana le mo lefatsheng, e tlaabo e tshwana le tse dingwe tse di neng di feta.
Re bo re re ka mme o tshwara thipa ka fa bogaleng, o e dirile jang.

Fa e ka tla jaaka re bona e beilwe pele e na le botshelo, e na le ditiro le sengwe le sengwe se Batswana ba se tlhokang, re tlaabo re na le wena mmaetsho re go akgola go yeng pele.

Ke tshwanetse go itumelela Budget e, e le sa konokono gore Tona wa Madi Mme Serame o bone go tshwanela gore supplementaries would not be tolerated ka mabaka.

Go lebega go na le supplementaries tse e leng gore bangwe mo maphateng ba ne ba sa dire tiro ya bone.
Ba sa budget sentle, ba sa bereka sentle.

Ba bangwe madi a sa berekisiwa sentle.

That is a first step mo senior Government officials ba e leng gore they are entitled go tsamaisa madi le budget.

Gone moo go tlaa dira gore batho ba le bantsi especially mo maphateng, do the turnaround strategies.

Ba se ka ba re mo dikgweding tse di tshwanang le tsa January and February tse gantsi o fitlhelang go na le bolwetse jwa gore madi a fedile, ba tla go dira supplementaries.
Sone seo ke tshwanetse go se akgola jaaka o se supile.

Supplementaries e tlaa nna dilo tsa maloba.

Ke mo go supang some step ahead and the bold decision for a Minister wa sebopego sa gago wa Madi.

Ke ntse ke tsweletse Mr Speaker, ke tlhalose gore ga re ka ke ra bua ka madi a makgetho fela ka Botswana Unified Revenue Service (BURS).

Those other stream revenue generating entities di tshwanetse go nna on board.

E re re bua ka BURS, re bo re bua ka sectors jaaka mining.
Re itse gore ke one of the contributors le tourism.

Re nne le agriculture sector jaaka pele le morago ga boipuso, re ne re bona leading them.

Re tshwanetse go bona re le Mapalamente re kanokisiwa ka dielo le some percentage gore agriculture this time around e dirile se, le se mo itsholelong.

E seng fela BURS, e le gore at the end of the day o tlaa fitlhela VAT, a bo a nna mantsi.

Re tshwanetse gore other players re bone contributing fairly in this basket ya Budget.
Tsone tseo di tlaa diragadiwa ka go bona other streams tse e leng gore we can benchmark mo mangweng mafatshe a re a bonang like Singapore and Mauritius jalo.

O tlaa fitlhela ba ne ba tla ka mengwe metlhale like connection le other companies tse di tona tse Goromente a kopanetseng go di tsamaisa le private sector.

Ga ba na mines and tourism mme ba kgona to generate a fairly income e e tsenang mo Government coffers e e felelang e dira ditlhabololo.
Ke tsone dilo tse re tshwanetseng go di lebelela Honourable Minister of Finance, to boost this Budget.

So that in turn, e tlaa dira dikeletso tsa rona 53 Hansard No 205Thursday 17th February, 2022APPROPRIATION (2022/2023) BILL, 2022 (NO.

Re na le bothata jo bo tshwanang mo dikgaolong tsa rona.

Those things maybe as I challenge you, in the coming budget ya 23/24 this must be clearly stated.
Gore apart from tourism, mining and BURS revenue collectors, there are these additional ones as metswedi e e yang go increase our basket in revenue collection.

Fa o ka dira jalo Honourable Minister, re tlaabo re ya golo gongwe.

Unlike gore since 1966 re bo re ntse re lebeletse three streams tse re itseng gore Budget e re tsamaisang lefatshe ka yone, Development and Recurrent, e a bo e tswa mo go tsone.
Re tlaa nna le bothata jwa a serious outcry e re leng mo go yone bontsi jwa rona ya ditlhabololo because letseno le tlaabo le sa nne lone.

Gape it is time to revisit some of the fees di nne forcefully go sa lowe.

Mo Botswana fa o sa dumalane le batho kana o enforce sengwe, gatwe maitseo.

Go bo gotwe o lwa le batho, ga o a siama.

P5, P10, re a itse batho ba sebopego sa rona go na le categories tse di rileng, go na le ba ba thusiwang ke bangwe.

Dilo tseo di tshwanetse di bonale, batho ba duele some small fees mo ditirelong.

Maloba ke ne ke gakgamala ke reka molemo wa matlho P131, mme ke kile ka o tsaya free kwa clinic matlho a ntshwenya ke le kwa Gweta.

Ke bo ke bona gore madi a mantsi mo ditirelong, we are doing a lot.

Fa e ka bo e le gore we are meeting Government ka maP10, P20, batho ba ya go tlwaela.
Go bo go raya gore income generation e nna teng.

If we can take that re nna re ba tlwaetsa, go tlaa nna botoka.

Re ka bo re itse gore if there are 60 parastatals mo Botswana, Budget e ka bo e re boleletse gore we have incorporated them.

From 60 now we are running ka 40.


Ke dilo tse ke neng ke batla go di utlwa thata mo Budget e. Fa o ka lebelela a lot of these parastatals, they are milking a lot of money a lefatshe le mme at the longterm tse dingwe di dira a duplicate.

O bo e re o lebelela structure sa those parastatals o bo o fitlhela e le gore se sisimosa mmele.

Le yone Palamente tota fa o ka lebelela, wage bill ya one of the parastatals o ka fitlhela o kare Parliament is not the other arm of Government, di e feta kgakala.
Fa e le gore we want to cushion go nna le madi a a ka dirang ditlhabololo, a a ka tsamaisang lefatshe la rona, re ka simolola ka dilo tsone tseo.

Those people would not agree Honourable Minister if you do not enforce gore go diragale jalo ka dithata tsa gago because ba a itse gore ba bereka jang, ba amogela jang, go diragala eng.

Then, where is value for money for such parastatals?

Re buile ka tsone.

Tse dingwe di dira tiro e nngwefela.


For us to increase our revenue, we must look upon such parastatals.

We are a big country but small in population and we cannot have such parastatals tse re itseng gore formation ya tsone e ntseng jang.

Ke re ke dingwe dilo tse o tshwanetseng gore o di lebelele, especially in these trying times tsa bo COVID e re itseng gore lefatshe ga le na madi.

Mr Speaker, fa ke bua ka Palamente, re a itse maloba ka the 11th Parliament, ke gone go neng go oketswa madi.

Re eme ka gore re ka bo re ile ra dira gore go okediwe, mme re bo re ema re lebeletse manokonoko a itsholelo le eng, le eng.

If there is something se e leng gore… re dirile a commission le rona.

Ke gore ke bua ka parastatals, ke bo ke boa ke bua ka rona gore maybe someone will ask his or herself gore rona?

Nnyaa, maloba go ne go baakanngwa structure sa rona, e bile ga se a felela.
Honourable Molale can attest to this.
