QUESTION WITHOUT NOTICE BAN OF IMPORTATION OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES MR M. I. MOSWAANE (FRANCISTOWN WEST): asked the Minister of Agricultural Development and Food Security if he is aware that: (i) the ban of importation of fruits and vegetables into Botswana, is being used by large chain stores to monopolise and drive the informal sector into poverty and out of business; (ii) some informal traders are unable to source enough potatoes from local farmers as far as Gantsi, Kudumatse and Tuli Block as those farmers are refusing to sell to them; (iii) large chain stores enter into contracts with farmers for their produce in advance and hence leave only left overs or nothing at all for Batswana traders and that if this is left unchecked, many Batswana owned business will not survive; and (iv) what is the impact of the ban on importation of fruits and vegetables on the informal traders in Botswana.

Gompieno go dikgang tse di tshwanang le tsa bo National Petroleum Fund (NPF), tse di supileng gore madi a le mantsi a lefatshe la Botswana, a a senyega, mme a senyega to corruption.

Go lebega e kete go na le bothata jwa gore re itebaganye le dikgang tse, re bo re bone gore tota mme modi wa tsone ke eng.

Go na le dikgang tse di tshwanang le tsa bo Capital Management Botswana (CMB), tse madi a a boitshegang, a mangwe a one a amana le pensions tsa badirelapuso ba lefatshe la Botswana.
Madi ao a nyeletse, ga a bonwe, mme re ntse ra re nnyaa, ga go ka ke ga dirwa commission of enquiry.

Honourable Keorapetse, wena rra o tlhapile diatla, o tlile ka kgang e e batlang go tsenelela kwa botengteng jwa yone kgang ya corruption.

Maabane jaana Rre Motaosane, o ne a botsa potso mo Palamenteng, ka nngwe kompone gape, gatwe Bluthorn, e le yone go supang gore e tsamaile e gogorupa madi mo dikhanseleng ka tsela e e neng e belaetsa e bile e gakgamatsa.
Le fa go ntse jalo, go na le ba ba reng nnyaa, go se ka ga dirwa dithulaganyo dipe tsa commission gore re sekaseke dikgang tse.

Le bone bo Rre Motaosane jaanong ba didimetse, mme ke bone ba ba neng ba tla ka dikgang tseo tsa bo gore Bluthorn e tsere madi mo dikhanseleng, Tona wa madi a ba a supa gore e lebega e tsere madi ka tsela e e seng yone, mme ditlhotlhomiso di tsweletse.
Corruption e ntsi mo lefatsheng la Botswana, mo e leng gore ope yo o latolang, yo o reng e se ka ya tlhotlhomisiwa, ka motlhale o Honourable Keorapetse a buang ka yone, go raya gore motho yoo, o fitlha sengwe.

Legale ga ke na bothata jwa gore sengwe se a fitlhwa, ka gore fa o re o lebelela NPF, bagolo ba lefatshe le, ba umakiwa mo go yone.

Kana jaanong fa go ka dirwa commission of enquiry, go raya gore jaanong ba ka tloga ba tshwarwa ke selaga.
Fa o bua ka CMB, bagolo ba lefatshe le ba umakiwa mo go yone.

Go raya gore fa go ka dirwa commission of enquiry, ba ka tloga ba tshwarwa ke selaga.

Bluthorn le yone, bagolo ba lefatshe le ba a umakiwa.

Go raya gore fa go ka dirwa commission of enquiry, ba ka tloga ba tshwarwa ke selaga.

Go raya gore jaanong go gana commission of enquiry mo, fa o go lebile sentle, e ganwa ka gore fa e ka dirwa, kana e ya go upolola, e ya go tsena kwa moding wa gore tota mme bagolo ba tsena jang mo dikgannyeng tsone tse.
E bo e supa gore gore re tle re kganele seemo sa gore bagolo ba nne ba umakiwa mo dikgannyeng tse, ke re dire jang gore re tle re baakanye seemo sa go nna jalo.

Go a lemotshega batho betsho gore corruption ya Lefatshe la Botswana e a gola, le ka ratings re wela kwa tlase, jaanong ke gakgamatswa ke ba ba ganang fela ba re nnyaa ke gore corruption o e bua e le tona thata, ke gore e tona mo o ka se keng wa e bua e ntse jalo.

Corruption ya lefatshe la Botswana e bophara, e tona.
The terms of reference ke tsone tse di tlaa betlang gore tota re tshwanetse ra itebaganya le bontlha bofe jwa corruption e e teng mo Lefatsheng la Botswana.

Ga o ka ke wa tsaya corruption gore ke selo se o tshwanetseng gore o ye go tlhotlhomisa gongwe University of Botswana (UB) kgotsa Bank of Botswana, nnyaa.

Re batla a commission of enquiry e e tlaa tsenang kwa moding wa kgang ya corruption.

E ba e supa gore the ruling elites ba tsena jang e bile ba amiwa jang ke corruption.
E seng e e tlaabong e batla fela go itse gore badirelapuso ba amega jang, ka gore go a supagala gore babusi ba lefatshe le le bone ba a amega.

Re sale re bona go simolola ka 2004 go fitlhelela gompieno, 18 years, go na le hesitancy e ntsi thata ya to deal with dikgang tsa corruption, mme go ntse go buiwa gape gore e teng.

Re a bua nako le nako gore corruption e teng, mme go na le hesitancy e e gakgamatsang ya to deal le dikgang tse.
Go tlaabo go buiwa jaaka le rona re ne re bua e bile re tswelela re bua gore go ne go na le corruption ka nako ya DIS ya ga Isaac Kgosi.
Ba Puso 10 Hansard No 205Friday 25th February, 2022COMMISSION OF ENQUIRY TO INVESTIGATE THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF CORRUPTION, ECONOMIC CRIME, MISMANAGEMENT, MALADMINISTRATION AND UNETHICAL GOVERNANCE IN PUBLIC INSTITUTIONSMotion (Resumed Debate) gompieno ba bua gore corruption e ne e le ntsi, mme jaanong ke eng fa e le gore e ne e le ntsi ka nako eo, re sa dire commission of enquiry, re tle re ye kwa boteng jwa go itse gore corruption eo e ne e le ya mofuta mang ka nako ya Isaac Kgosi.
Ka nako ya gompieno ya DIS ya gompieno go na le corruption gape e e buegang e DIS now is meddling mo dikgannyeng tsa corruption, e tsenelela dikgang tse.

Re ne re utlwa maloba gotwe ba Water Utilities Corporation (WUC) ba duetse madi a a kanang ka P112 million ka gore DIS e ne ya tsena, ya iphaga dikoro mo dikgannyeng tsa corruption.

Mo ka bo gone ke nngwe ya dikgang tse Honourable Keorapetse a reng a ko di sekasekwe ka bophara jwa tsone.
Le se ka la tshaba bophara, le tshaba eng bophara ka gore commission fa e le teng will define tota scope sa gore e dira eng.

A re se ka ra tshaba bophara joo.

Re a bona gore DIS e lebega e kete e kgoreletsa le makgotla a mangwe one a o a buang Vice President (VP), e lebega e itshunya nko, e iphara dikogo mo dikgannyeng tse fa gongwe e leng tsa DCEC.

Dilo tse Honourable Keorapetse a re, di tshwanetse tsa salwa morago, tsa batlisiswa gore re tle re kgone go fokotsa tshenyetso-setshaba e e kanakana.
indeed Tshenyetso-setshaba Motlotlegi Serame, is a cancer.

Fa e tsena mo setšhabeng jaaka e tsene jaana, e bile e tsene thatathata kwa babusing, go raya gore jaanong lefatshe la rona ga lone ke kwa nageng.

Lemmenyana lepe le re neng re na le lone, le tlile go phimolwe ke corruption.

O tlaa utlwa fela go ntse gotwe Tautona o filwe mpho ya P2 million, o sa itse gore gatwe o felwang mpho ya P2 million.

O tlaa utlwa go ntse gotwe jaanong dikgang tse tsa corruption re tlaa di latedisa ka DCEC.
Rona ra re ee DCEC e teng, mme ga e a kgona e bile ga e kgone go fitlhelela ka moding wa dikgang tsa corruption.

Ka jalo commission of enquiry mo corruption, maladministration and unethical governance is an imperative, e a tlhokafala gompieno go feta ka nako epe, ka gore e bile jaanong malatsi a fa go sa tlhola go utswiwa engines tsa Water Affairs fela.

Malatsi a go utswiwa madi e bile go buiwa ka madi a mantsi a bo P100 billion, madi a a boitshega.

Re tshwanetse gore re dire commission eo ka bofefo.
Ke a leboga Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente.

MINISTER OF YOUTH EMPOWERMENT, SPORT AND CULTURE DEVELOPMENT (MR RAKGARE): Ke a leboga Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente.
Ke batla ke simolole fela Mr Speaker, ka go supa gore ke gana Motion o. Ka nako e tlhopho e tlaabong e tla, ke ya go tlhopha “no.” Fa e ne e le gore ga go tsamaye ka alphabetical order, ke ne ya go nna motho wa ntlha go tsholetsa letsogo go tlhopha “no,” ka gore mabaka a teng Mr Speaker a go tlhopha “no...” HONOURABLE MEMBER: Because you benefit from the system.

MR RAKGARE: Ke kopa o kgalemele yo mongwe yo Mr Speaker a didimale.
Re a ba reetsa fa ba bua, ba se ka ba bo ba leka go nketsha mo tseleng, ka gore ke tlaa tswa mo tseleng.

Ga ke na mathata le go tswa tseleng.

Moswaane itshware sentle o mogolo.

Mr Speaker, ke ya go tlhaopha “no” ka mabaka.

A re simolole ka yo o tlileng ka Motion fa pele ga Ntlo ya Palamente.

O filwe metsotso ele 30 Mr Speaker, Honourable Keorapetse gore a tlhatlhamolole Motion wa gagwe.
Ga a bue le rona re le Mapalamente o bua le Batswana, gore Batswana ba itse gore o tlile fa pele ga Ntlo ya Palamente a tla go kopa eng.

E tle e re fa Mapalamente ba mo gana kana ba mo dumela, Batswana ba kgone go tlhaloganya gore mme Motlotlegi Keorapetse o ne a batla eng.

Sa ntlha se ke dumelang gore Motlotlegi Keorapetse o ka bo a ne a se dirile, e ka bo le go thusa Batswana go tlhaloganya gore fa re bua ka public institutions re bua ka eng.
Re utlwe fela a di balolola gore o bua ka eng, Batswana ba tle ba mo tlhaloganye gore a re gone go ye go dirwa eng mo go eng.

Sa bobedi, Honourable Keorapetse o ka bo ane a supile gore, fa a tsentse mafoko a matona a, a bangwe ba rona re a tlhaloganyang, mme bangwe ba Batswana kwa lwapeng ga ba a tlhaloganye.

Mafoko a a raya eng e bile a nyalana jang, o ka bo a ne a supile fela ka bophara gore fa a bua ka corruption, maladministration, mismanagement, economic crime le unethical governance o raya.
Mr Speaker, Honourable Keorapetse o dirile Public Administration kwa UB.

Ke ntse ngwaga di le tlhano dealing with dikgang tse le nna kwa UB ke dira governance, re a tlhaloganya nna le ene gore re bua ka eng.

Because o itse sentle gore maikaelelo a gagwe ke eng, o tlaa mo Palamenteng a bo a tla go kgobokanya mafoko a, e bo e nna e kete go na le sengwe se se tona se a se batlang gore se upololwe ke mogopolo o a o beileng Palamente pele.
A itse Mr Speaker gore golo mo ga go motlhofo, ga go ka ke ka kgonafala.

Se a se batlang ke gone fela gore a tsweledise kgang e a kileng a e bua Mr Speaker on Facebook, a supa gore the key goal ya bone as the opposition is to make Batswana hate the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) and Government.
O 11 Hansard No 205Friday 25th February, 2022COMMISSION OF ENQUIRY TO INVESTIGATE THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF CORRUPTION, ECONOMIC CRIME, MISMANAGEMENT, MALADMINISTRATION AND UNETHICAL GOVERNANCE IN PUBLIC INSTITUTIONSMotion (Resumed Debate) kile a bua mafoko a Mr Speaker, ga ke dumela gore o ka a ganela fa a ganela ke tlaa supa gore o a buile leng, kwa kae.
So I am not surprised gore a bo a tla ka mogopolo o o ntseng jaana, ka gore maikaelelo a gagwe ke gore Batswana kwa lwapeng e re fa re tswa mo Palamenteng mo re sena go nna re tlhopha “no,” ka gore reya go tlhopha “no” as the BDP, e bo jaanong Batswana ba re ehe re le boleletse, kana e le bone ba kganetso ba re re le boleletse gore ba ya go gana ka gore gore he knows very well gore mogopolo o o bophara ga o ka ke wa kgonagala.

Ba bangwe le Rre Lucas ba ntse ba bua.


Tla re le gakolole, Honourable Keorapetse o ne a bua fa a bua ka Commission ya ga Justice Zondo ya the Enquiry into allegations tsa State Capture.

Go and look at the terms of reference tsa commission eo, o lebelele gore e tswa kwa kae, since 2018 e simolotse go fitlhelela gompieno go ntse go tsweletswe.

Tsamaya o ye go lebelela commissions tse di fetileng, ka gore Afrika Borwa le mo rata thata.
O lebelele Honourable Keorapetse, o motho yo ke a tleng ke utlwe o ntse o bua ka bolo thata le fa o le kgakala le yone, o sa e tlhaloganye.

O ye go lebelela, 2001 go ne ga tlhomiwa commission ke Tautona wa nako eo kwa Afrika Borwa e e neng e ya go lebelela Ellis Park disaster kwa ditlhopha sa Pirates le sa Kaizer Chiefs dine di tshameka ga nna le stampede teng.
Bona gore gone gotweng, go sa twe a commission e ye go itebaganya le sengwe le sengwe, e ne e le gore jaanong go na le kgang nngwe e e beilweng commission pele e go itsiweng gore commission e e ya go neelwa terms of reference, fa ba sena go nna ba feta ba tlaa ka ka recommendations mme boeteledipele will act on those recommendations.

Gompieno re bua ka public institutions tse motlotlegi a neng a dira ka bomo, ga a ka ke a di re baya pele gore mme o bua ka ga eng.
Mr Speaker, yes go na le fa re dumalanang le batlotlegi ba ga rona ba kganetso teng, gore a re bone gore re dira jang to strengthen DCEC.

Ke a dumela Mr Speaker gore seo se botlhokwa, mo go seng botlhokwa ke jaaka gongwe Leader of the Opposition (LOO) a etle a nne a bue, go nna go fetolwa Director General wa DCEC, fa Tautona a batla go mo fetola o a mo fetola.
Ga re itse mabaka a gore o a bo a mo fetola go rileng, mme se re se itseng ke gore a bo a mo fetola a itse gore se a se dirang o batla gore a bone gore DCEC e tswelela e ntse e dira tiro ya yone, e sa kgopakgopediwe e bile tiro e e dirwe sentle ka manontlhotlho.

Se re dumelang mo go sone Honourable Keorapetse ke gore DCEC must be well resourced, DCEC e tshwanetse e letlelesege, e thusiwe to recruit highly skilled personnel.
These people must be paid, they must be paid well, because ba dira tiro e e rileng e e faphegileng.

Go na le dikgang di le dintsintsi kwa DCEC tse di tshwanetseng di fetele kwa DPP, le DPP must be resourced and reformed, so that investigations fa di sena go nna di dirwa go isiwa kwa go the prosecutor dilo tse di kgona gore di diragale.

Let us capacitate DCEC and DPP.

A re dire jalo ka gore kamoso fa go sena go dirwa investigation, dikgang di ka feta ka bonako.
Sa bofelo Mr Speaker, the Leader of the House o ntse a tlhalosa fa gore it is surprising gore batho ba bo ba tla fa go ikgalaletsa, ba batla go bona go lwantshiwa corruption go feta rona kana bangwe.

Ba dumela gore go a senngwa.

Ba dumela gore ba botoka mo go ba bangwe, e bile re mariwa ka dipuo.

Golo moo ga go simologe, go nna go le teng gore Matona a a senya, tshenyetso-setšhaba e simolola ka babusi.

Ke ne ka bua fa ka Declaration of Assets and Liabilities mo Palamenteng.
Ga ke batle go boelela mafoko a ke a buileng maloba.

A re lebelele gape le ka fa ba ntseng ba dira ka teng, e bile go lebega ba na le mathata.

Mr Speaker, ba na le mathata le gore batho bangwe ba ba ikamanyang le bone, ba tlhotlhomisediwa dikgang tsa tshenyetso-setšhaba.

Fa o utlwa gotwe jarata ya mongwe e lotletswe, go na le dingwe tse di belaetsang mo teng, motho yo o a tlhotlhomisiwa.

Batho ba ba yang go kuela kwa godimo, mokgosi wa bone o utlwala le moseja wa mawatle, ke bone ba.
Mathata a batho ba Mr Speaker, ba tla mo Palamenteng go bua dikgang tse, mme ga di tsamaelane le ka fa ba dirang dilo ka teng.

Ga se bone ba e kabong e re gompieno fa gotwe re tlhotlhomisa semangmang, e bo ba kuela kwa godimo gore tsamayang le ye go bula ntlo ya motho.

Go bulwa ntlo ya motho yoo, e le gore e ne e lotletswe fa go diragetse eng?

Re bona dilo tse di diragalang.


Maloba re ne re le fa Honourable Serame a tlile ka Bill ya Financial Intelligence, e na le tse dingwe tse di neng di tla ka Honourable Mmusi.

Ba omana e le gore ba re phones tsa batho are going to be tapped, mme re bona borukutlhi bo tsweletse mo lefatsheng la rona jo bo lwantshiwang bo ile magoletsa.

Maabanenyana jaana re ne re utlwa e le gore batho ba ne ba ganyaolwa ke mapodise, ba ba senyetsang lefatshe le.
Batho ba fa re sa kgone go itebaganya le bone, re tlile go nna le mathata a a tlaa amang Batswana ka tsela e e seng yone.
Mr 12 Hansard No 205Friday 25th February, 2022COMMISSION OF ENQUIRY TO INVESTIGATE THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF CORRUPTION, ECONOMIC CRIME, MISMANAGEMENT, MALADMINISTRATION AND UNETHICAL GOVERNANCE IN PUBLIC INSTITUTIONSMotion (Resumed Debate) Speaker, re tlhamaletse fela gore re tlile go gana Motion o, mme we know gore ba ya go ya kwa setšhabeng ba re ke eo Domkrag e gana go lwantshiwa corruption.

Nnyaa, o Motion ga o amane gope le kgang ya go lwantsha tshenyetso-setšhaba, ke go tla fa go ikgatlha.
Ke go tsweledisa se ba neng ba se bua sa gore ba batla go bona Batswana ba ila party e e busang, Goromente wa letsatsi.

Motion o, is about kgang ya gore Batswana ba ile party ya rona le Goromente.

It has got nothing to do with fighting corruption, go sireletsa, gammogo le go nonotsha ditsamaiso tsa Puso tsa go lwantsha tshenyetso-setšhaba, ga go na sepe seo.
Ke batla go gatelela kgang e Mr Speaker ke re, mong wa Motion, o ne a na le a good 30 minutes to unpack his Motion, he failed dismally gore a re convince re le Ntlo.

He failed dismally gore molaetsa o goroge kwa Batswaneng gore ba tlhaloganye gore fa a bua ka public institutions o bua ka eng.

Fa a bua ka mafoko a matonatona a a kwadileng, o bua ka eng.

We are not at the university here, or in the boardroom fa o ka tshamekang ka mafoko, o tshameka ka ditlhaloganyo tsa Batswana.
Ka tsela e e ntseng jalo Mr Speaker, ke gana Motion o, nkwalele no ruri gone jaana, e se ka ya re fa o bitsa batho wa mpitsa le nna kgantele.

Ke a leboga.

MR SPEAKER: Thank you Minister.

Honourable Members, we have run out of time, it is now time to call upon Honourable Keorapetse to reply to the debates.

MR KEORAPETSE (SELEBI PHIKWE WEST): Ke a go leboga Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente.

Se re se utlwileng gompieno ke dikgakgamatso, tota e bile ke matlhabisa ditlhong.
Ke ne ke solofetse go le gontsi mo Matoneng ba ba tshwanang le Honourable Molale.

Ga ke dumele gore go na le yo o nang le experience ya governance jaaka ene mo go rona rotlhe jaaka re kgobokane jaana.

Gongwe motho yo mongwe yo a ka bapisiwang le ene ke Honourable Speaker ka experience ya governance.

Ba bangwe Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente ba ka itshwarelwa bo Honourable Lelatisitswe.
Fa o ithutetse dipilisi jaaka Honourable Lelatisitswe, it would be understandable gore go ka nna le confusion mo Tshutisong e tshwana le e. Jaaka ke bua, ke ne ke sa solofele gore ba bangwe ba ba tshwanang le Honourable Molale go ka nna jalo.

Honourable Molale o buile nngwe ya dikgang tse di buiwang ke ba le bantsi ba ba buileng ba party e e busang.

Sa ntlha a re ga a bone gore go na le sengwe se se tona se se diragetseng se se ka tlamang gore go nne le a commission of enquiry, o buile jalo.
Kgang yone e was echoed by bontsi jwa ba ba setseng ba buile.

Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente, ke tlaa batla go itebaganya le kgang eo ke e arabe.

Le lemogile Mapalamente, le lemogile Batswana ba le lebeletseng Palamente gore go buile Matona fela le Deputy Speaker.

Go buile ba ba nang le maemo fela mo party e e busang mme selo seo se tshwanetse go le tshwenya le ipotse gore go diragala eng gore e bo Matona ba ba eteletseng kwa pele, ba gana kgang e?
Ke eng go ikwadile bone fela mo the list and submitted it kwa go Speaker ya gore ga go bue ba e seng Matona?

Anyway, we are not surprised, gone re utlwile tlhatlharuane e e neng e le kwa caucus ya lona, le ba ba neng ba sa dumalanwe le gore go ganwe Tshutiso e. Ba ipotsa gore “ao!

le raya gore batho re tlaa nna re gana sengwe le sengwe fela le mo go tlhamaletseng go tshwana le mo.” Ke dingwe tsa dikgang tse di neng di buega kwa caucus ya Domkrag.
Ke sone se o bonang ba le fa jaana, ga se gore ba a dumalana gore go ganwe Tshutiso e Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente.

Ke jaaka o bona debate ya bone.

O kile wa bona debate e go buang Matona fela?

Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente, kgang e e neng e buiwa ke Honourable Lucas gore corruption e jweleletse mo lefatsheng la Botswana, ke boammaaruri jo ke ipotsang gore Honourable Molale ga a bo bone fa kae.
Transparency International; lekgotla la mafatshefatshe le le kalang selekanyo tsa corruption, le tlhalosa gore Botswana e wetse kwa tlase mo sekaleng sa tshenyetso-setšhaba, le gaisiwa ke Seychelles le Cape Verde.

Le a itse gore nako le nako fa o lebelela speeches tsa boRre Gaolathe, Rre Mogae, Rre Matambo in the past, ba ne ba ipelafatsa ka gore lefatshe la Botswana is the least corrupt country in Africa.

Gompieno golo moo go nyeletse mo dipegong gompieno ka gore lefatshe la Botswana le wetse kwa tlase.
Ke kgang ya ntlha e e tshwanetseng go re tshwenya.

Ke le boleletse ka Afrobarometer, e ne e supa dipalo tsa gore more than 50 per cent ya Batswana ba dumela gore tshenyetso- setšhaba e jweleletse mo e leng gore ga e na bolekeletso.

E bile Batswana ba bua mo survey ya Afrobarometer ba re, “baeteledipele ba ba tlhophilweng go balelwa le ofisi ya ga Tautona, ba belaela gore corruption tota kwa e ka batlelwang teng, ke gone koo.
Batswana gape ba a tshwenyega, 70 per cent ya bone, ba supa gore ba na le tlhobaelo ya gore fa o ka bega tshenyetso-setšhaba, ditlamorago tsa teng e ka nna go ipusulosetsa mo go wena mo e leng gore fa o bereka, o ka iphitlhela o latlhegetswe ke tiro kana o tsene mo mathateng.

Scandals tse gotweng go utswilwe P100 billion, bo Rre Molale ba tsaya gore golo moo ga se sepe fela gore go bo go na le dipego tsa gore a go utswilwe.
Bontsi jwa 13 Hansard No 205Friday 25th February, 2022COMMISSION OF ENQUIRY TO INVESTIGATE THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF CORRUPTION, ECONOMIC CRIME, MISMANAGEMENT, MALADMINISTRATION AND UNETHICAL GOVERNANCE IN PUBLIC INSTITUTIONSMotion (Resumed Debate) bone ba dumela gore gatwe P100 billion o utswilwe mme fa go tla mo go reng go tlhotlhomisiwe, le mo selekanyong sa corruption, corruption ga e kalokalo.
Scandals tsa National Petroleum Fund (NPF) tse Honourable Lucas a ntseng a bua ka tsone le tsa Capital Management Botswana (CMB), tse e leng gore fa o ne o ka bua ka Sesotho o ne o kare, “le Tautona ba ne ba supa gore o nkga lefotha mo tabeng yone e ya CMB le NPF.

Dipampiri di kwadile, affidavits di kwadilwe di kwa court tse di supang gore Tautona le ene o nkga lefotha tabeng ena ya corruption ya NPF le CMB.

High profile corruption… MR MOSWAANE: Clarification.

Thank you.
Thank you.

Ke ne ke re Honourable Keorapetse o e tshwere sentle.

Ke ne ke re gakere mme Tshutiso ya gago ya re go batliwe Judge yo o ikemetseng ka nosi ka gore babusi ba madi matsogong, ga se bone ba ka kgonang go batlisisa corruption e?

Fa o lebeletse Matona a ka fa ba ntseng ka teng ba gana Tshutiso e, a fa o lebeletse kamoso fa ba ka dumalana le Tshutiso e, a ba ka tsoga e le Matona kamoso?
Kana ke belaela gore ba tlaa ntshiwa botlhe gotwe ‘you failed my Government.’ A fa o ba lebeletse jaana, a ba gololesegile mo nakong ya gompieno go ka dumalana le Tshutiso e?

Kana re belaela gore ke bone ba ba leng madi matsogong, ke bone ba ba senyang go feta badirelapuso.

E bile ba pateletsa badirelapuso ka gore ke bone ba tshwereng taolo.

The buck stops with the Ministers or Cabinet.

Ga ba ka ke ba tswelela ba supa kwa le kwa.

MR KEORAPETSE: Ke a leboga Honourable Moswaane.


Mma ke taboge le tsone ke re go a itshupa gore… FOR PRESIDENTIAL MINISTER AFFAIRS, GOVERNANCE AND PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION (MR MORWAENG): Point of order Mr Speaker.

Tumelo ya me ke gore, gore Rre Keorapetse a bo a re Motlotlegi Rraetsho Tautona ke mmelaelwa, ga se gone.

Kana mo ditsebeng tsa setšhaba, Motlotlegi Rre Keorapetse o raya setšhaba a re Motlotlegi Rraetsho Tautona ke mmelaelwa, suspect.
HONOURABLE MEMBER: Tautona o rile o ka o tlogela tiro, o ka suta a sekisiwa gakere, a a sute.

MR MORWAENG: Mma ke bue.

Motlotlegi Rre Keorapetse o dira gore Tautona mo matlhong a sštshaba e nne o kare o a senya mme go sa nna jalo.

Ke kopa gore a baakanye golo moo, a beye mafoko a gagwe sentle.

MR SPEAKER: I thought he was saying there are affidavits showing the things we shall find in court indicating what he is claiming.

Kgang ke eo Honourable Keorapetse.

MR KEORAPETSE: Ee rra.


Go ntse jalo Mr Speaker.

Tautona Masisi fa gongwe fa ke ka thulana le ene o na le go mpolelela kgang ya gore, “wena Keorapetse kana o mpitsa legodu.” Ke tle ke mo tlhalosetse dikgang tse gore nnyaa mme kana ga go bue nna, go bua dipampiri tse di kwa makgotlatshekelong tse di ikanetsweng le ba ba reng mo NPF go na le madi mangwe a o neng o a fiwa le ba ba amegang mo CMB gore go na le madi mangwe a o neng wa a fiwa.

Ga go bue nna, go bua bone ka dipampiri tse di kwa court.
Gape jaanong ke tlaa tlhoka jang gore ke re Tautona ke legodu fa e le gore e le Head of State o kgona gore e bo e le gore o ipha polase ya Banyana Farms?

Ka re o a ipha Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente ka gore the President is at the helm of the Executive power of Botswana.

Ke ene motho wa tshwetso ya bofelo mo the Executive decisions.

Jaanong process ya go abela Tautona polase ya Batswana motho wa bofelo yo o ka e tseelang tshwetso ke ene Tautona.
Jaanong lona le se ka la tsaya fela gore ba ba neng ba kgobokane gotwe ba mo abela polase ba ne ba mo abela polase.

O ne a ipha polase.

The Executive power of Botswana is vested in the President.

LEADER OF THE HOUSE (MR TSOGWANE): Point of order Mr Speaker.

Kana ke tlhagisitse Batswana gore ba tle ba reetse dikgang ba bo ba lemoge go tlhoka bommaaruri.

Ga ke dumalane le kgang e gotweng Tautona a ipha.


Le gone ga go na le fa e le polase epe e e kileng ya re fa e abiwa gope fela a bo e le gore Tautona ke ene yo e leng gore jaanong o sanction kana o dumalana le gore mongwe a abelwe polase kana dipolase when they are auctioned.

Ga go na fa Tautona a tleng a tsene teng.

Kgang ya gore o ipha polase ga e na boammaaruri, ke ya lesenyo, ke e Batswana ba tshwanetseng gore ba itse gore ke ya lesenyo.

Ga go simologe.

Jaanong there is… HONOURABLE MEMBER: Vice President (VP) o a debate.

MR KEORAPETSE: Mo emise, o a debate.

MR TSOGWANE: Ee, ke a debate.

There is no truth in that.

Ke tshenyo, ke letlhoo le le itsiweng ke Motswana mongwe le mongwe.

That is my point of order Mr Speaker.


14 Hansard No 205Friday 25th February, 2022COMMISSION OF ENQUIRY TO INVESTIGATE THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF CORRUPTION, ECONOMIC CRIME, MISMANAGEMENT, MALADMINISTRATION AND UNETHICAL GOVERNANCE IN PUBLIC INSTITUTIONSMotion (Resumed Debate) MR SPEAKER: Honourable Member, I think it pays to always listen and then react.

It pays a lot.

That is why ke ne ke re in reaction to Honourable Morwaeng, what Keorapetse has said about the basis for his allegations.
If people have been listening, they would have heard that his basis is affidavit filed at court.

So, it pays to listen to other members.

What the VP is saying as his basis of objection is that as far as the allocation of farms tsa Banyana, as far as he knows, there was never an issue of any of those allocations going to the Head of State, to the Executive for decision.

That was done by those members who have been given the job to allocate the farms.

That I understand is the basis of his objection.


In addition, when he argues to buttress it so that it becomes clear, we cannot say he is now debating.

He has to, otherwise how would he put his case?

How would we understand the basis of his objection?

So, I say Honourable Members it is good to given an ear and then you can object.

MR KEORAPETSE: Mr Speaker, I think let us agree that there is a difference of opinion here.
Fa e le gore Motlotlegi Tautona e le Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces, Botswana Defence Force (BDF) e ka tsaya tshwetso ya gore e mo fa mpho ya tlhobolo, in my view, in my humble opinion ke gore Tautona o a bo a iphile tlhobolo eo because he is Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces.

O a bo a e iphile because ke ene lesole le letona mo lefatsheng la Botswana.
So, in terms of the Constitution, the Executive power of Botswana vests in the President and shall be exercised by him either directly or indirectly through subordinates to him.

Subordinates to him decided to allocate him a state farm and he did not say anything about it.

He saw nothing wrong with it.

Effectively he has allocated himself a state farm.

O iphile polase ya Batswana.

That is my argument.

Let us agree that it is my opinion gore o iphile polase ka gore ke Tautona.
Ga ke dumele gore go na le Tautona yo e leng gore a eteletse lefatshe go ka nna le gore go abiwa dipolase a se ke a itse.
Ke buile gangwe le gape ka re the reason why President a sa tshwanela go tsena mo business ke gore intelligence reports, including economic intelligence reports tsa gore ditshono di kwa kae, di ya go tlhaga leng, di tlhaga ka tsela e e ntseng jang, di tlhoka gore batho ba bo ba ipaakantse ka tsela e e ntseng jang, information e e tla kwa go Tautona pele ga mongwe le mongwe by virtue of his office.

That is why ke sa dumalane Mr Speaker.

MR MOATLHODI: On a point of order Mr Speaker.


Ke a leboga Motlotlegi Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente.

Standing Order 23.2 is very very categorically clear gore the name of the President should be used away from disrespect.

HONOURABLE MEMBER: 100 per cent wrong.


MR MOATLHODI: Tota fela bagaetsho fela go buiwa ka leina la motho yo motona o tlhakatlhakanngwa le magodu, bogodu jo ke utlwang bo buiwang ke Motlotlegi Mopalamente wa Selebi Phikwe, a mme gone ke tshwanelo gore re gatake melao ya rona ka dinao?

Ke sone se ke se buang Motlotlegi Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente.

MR SPEAKER: The position taken by Honourable Keorapetse is a legalistic one.
For him, there is no need to show that the President personally did anything to influence those who were allocating the farms.

He is claiming that because they are under him in terms of the Constitution that is as good as him allocating to himself.

Wena you are saying, a-e!

o abetswe ke batho ba sele, in as much as I could have applied myself and got a piece, nobody would claim that ke e filwe ka maemo a me.

That is the difference he wants to make.


I thought when he said, let us agree that we disagree, that really is the position.

HONOURABLE MEMBER: Further point of order Mr Speaker, on the same issue.

MINISTER OF YOUTH EMPOWERMENT, SPORT AND CULTURE DEVELOPMENT (MR RAKGARE): Further point of procedure.

Mr Speaker, ke utlwa Honourable Keorapetse gore a re dumalane gore ga re dumalane, but I think mafoko a mangwe one ga se mo gotweng ga re dumalane, ke a re reng fela, nnyaa le ga le maleba.
I think ke mo utlwile sentle gore o ne a bua gore…and like o buile Mr Speaker, you clarified the issue, re a tlhaloganya gore kana he is saying “dikgang di fa pele ga makgotlatshekelo, affidavits di tseng, leina la ga Tautona le a umakiwa mo teng.
Jaanong ke le Keorapetse, ke a dumela gore Tautona ke legodu, mme ke dumedisiwa ke gore o iphile Banyana farms.” Ke gone fa e leng gore ra re, e-e mo ga go nne sentle, go nna le difference of opinion, but we cannot allow Honourable Keorapetse go bitsa Tautona legodu, le gone a bua jaana e le ka dikgang tse e leng gore clearly Tautona ga a ipha lefatshe.

Tautona ga a a ipha lefatshe Mr Speaker, you are right, o abetswe lefatshe ke ba ba neng ba filweng boikarabelo jwa gore ba ka kgaoganya Banyana farms.
Jaanong I think fa Honourable Keorapetse a ne a ka supa gore indeed Tautona o laetse gore a neelwe lefatshe le, gongwe ke gone fa re neng re kare go na le pharologanyo ya opinion.
So ke ne ke kopa gore tota fela o mo kope gore 15 Hansard No 205Friday 25th February, 2022COMMISSION OF ENQUIRY TO INVESTIGATE THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF CORRUPTION, ECONOMIC CRIME, MISMANAGEMENT, MALADMINISTRATION AND UNETHICAL GOVERNANCE IN PUBLIC INSTITUTIONSMotion (Resumed Debate) when he debates a se ka a amanya Tautona le bogodu, a dirisa mafoko a a ntseng jalo, ka gore o a itse gore se a se buang ga se a nna jaaka a se bua.

Ke a kopa Mr Speaker.


MR SPEAKER: Honourable Members, I do not know how it can be put, but Honourable Keorapetse says, he is not saying, nor does he have the evidence that the President as such directed the committee or whichever group of people who were allocating, it does not say that the President directed them, but he is saying, because he applied and he holds executive power, who would go and refuse to oblige.

Is he objecting to the President participation in such matters?
My understanding is that there is nothing that he has said indeed that shows that the President did a, b, c, which is out of order to get Banyana Farms, is his objection to the Head of state getting involved as he elaborated in such businesses.

He says no, yo o na le pension ya gagwe, we take care of him a nne koo.

So is not a question of corruption as you understand it, I think he has made that clear.
That is why I am saying he was legalistic, there is nothing that has been shown that the President acted outside the law, but outside his own understanding or wishes.

LEADER OF THE HOUSE (MR TSOGWANE): Point of procedure.

Mme re a go utlwa Mr Speaker, kana re Batswana, Motswana fa a bua re a mo utlwa.

Gape ke ne ke re procedure e ke batlang gore ke fete ka yone ke gore, kana we are setting precedence ya gore kamoso ke bo ke tla ke re, in my opinion semangmang ke legodu, a, b, c, in my opinion.
Jaanong dilo tse di ntseng jaana Mr Speaker, le ba ba reeditseng Ntlo e, ga di tsamaye sentle, ka gore o feletse a re, “ene o bona gore Tautona ke legodu,” gape o baya badirelapuso ka kwa mosing, kana a re ba mo neetse, he applied.

Dipolase were advertised, he applied.

Ga a a fiwa fela gotwe, tlaa o tseye polase.

HONOURABLE MEMBER: Nnyaa, a re o iphile.

Ga a fiwa, o iphile.


MR TSOGWANE: Gakere o a mo utlwa jaanong Mr Speaker gore go buiwa dipuo tse di ntseng jang, “gatwe o iphile.” Jaanong se ke se kopang ke gore, a re yeng re ye go bona process kgang e e eme, re tle re boele mo go yone, re bone gore a mme Tautona did not apply for polase eo, he was not interviewed jaaka mongwe le mongwe.

MR TSOGWANE: ...re na le dikwalo tsa lona tse le di kwalelang mafatshe le senya lefatshe le le re batho ba ba le boditseng phokoje ba dira sentle, ba se ka ba boela kwano.

HONOURABLE MEMBER: Batho ba re magodu a mo Palamenteng a tseelwa dikgato leng?
HONOURABLE MEMBER: Ba botsa gore ke eng le le ditsala magodu le malatsi a?

HONOURABLE MEMBERS: ...(Interruptions!)...

MR SPEAKER:…(Inaudible)…be careful, because I do not think there is anywhere that Honourable Keorapetse in regard to Banyana farms said that His Excellency ke legodu, no!

MR TSOGWANE: A rialo.

HONOURABLE MEMBER: He did Mr Speaker, he did!

MR SPEAKER: No, no, that is why I say ...(inaudible) to listen, if you ...(inaudible)… yourself from listening you will never follow the debate.
The issue ya bogodu fa e tla mo gongwe e kopana le His Excellency is accusing directly gore ke mmitsa legodu, is in relation to ...(inaudible)…I think ke madi NPF le mo gongwe, which derived from affidavits.

As far as Banyana is concerned, there is no issue of theft, the claim is because he is the commander, he holds executive power, he should not have participated.

Which I say, it does not show His Excellency as being corrupt at all.
It is legalistic approach, gore if you are in charge of any area do not participate emela ka kwa thoko, o lese ba bangwe to participate.

That is not the same as saying you deliberately went ahead, o bo o raya batho o re mphang jaana le jaana, because he cannot show that, I am quite sure he cannot show it, gore His Excellency o ne a ya kwa go bafe a ba raya ba dire eng.

That is why I say he is legalistic.


MR TSOGWANE: Mr Speaker, re a go utlwa, mme kana Tautona o okametse land boards tse di amang le kabo ya plots, o ikopela plot jaaka mongwe le mongwe.

Ke fa kae fa e leng gore Tautona ga a okamela gope fa e leng gore then he has the right to participate?

Tautona ga se mongwe le mongwe, ga o tlhaloganye eng?
MR SPEAKER: ...(Inaudible)…Vice President, that is why I say that argument is legalistic, I mean that if it were to be followed, if he apply to everything where he wants to participate because at the end of the day he is executive, he then will be guilty right through, because he cannot put away the power at any moment.

Honourable Rakgare says the Honourable mover of the Motion said certain words, which I said no, that is not my understanding.
He said the Hansard will bring us out, and certainly, I do not ever remember those words being said by Honourable Keorapetse, and he says it maybe that I was not listening enough.

I try to pay attention.

If he insists that I did not hear properly, then the only way to do is to go to the Hansard.

HONOURABLE MEMBER: Nnyaa, ba bopeditswe ke bolope.

MR RAKGARE: I insist Mr Speaker.

O ntseele dikgato fa e le gore ga go a nna jalo mo Hansard.

HONOURABLE MEMBERS: …(Murmurs)… MR SPEAKER: The time is quarter to 11.
I am not sure how quickly we can have access to the response by Honourable Keorapetse.

HONOURABLE MEMBER: Nnyaa, Mr Speaker, is Keorapetse denying gotlhelele the statement?

MR KEORAPETSE: No, I am not.

MR SALESHANDO: Re ka support statement seo.

HONOURABLE MEMBER: So, you have to rule on it.

MR KEORAPETSE: Can I clarify Mr Speaker?


MR SPEAKER: No, first of all, the question is whether you agree with – Honourable Keorapetse, whether you agree with what Honourable Rakgare, Minister, said you said, or do you want him to repeat what he claims you said?

MR KEORAPETSE: Mr Speaker, I can further clarify what I said.

MR SPEAKER: No, no clarification.

MR KEORAPETSE: The import of what I said.

Ke mangwe a mafoko a e leng gore o a buile, a ke a buang kwa morago.

That is what he said.


MR SPEAKER: Do you agree Honourable Keorapetse?

MR KEORAPETSE: Ke a dumalana Mr Speaker, ke buile jalo.

MR SPEAKER: Rra?

MR KEORAPETSE: Ke a dumalana, ke buile jalo.

MR SPEAKER: Okay.

MR KEORAPETSE: Le fa e le gore ga ke a bua exactly jaaka fa a buile, mme tota molaetsa wame ke one o Rakgare a o buang.

MR SPEAKER: Not the import either; what he says you said.

HONOURABLE MEMBER: Did you say those words?

That is the question.

MR KEORAPETSE: A reng, let him repeat ke mo utlwe.


MR KEORAPETSE: Ee, gone fela gore Executive Power e mo go ene, a bo a bona fela go sena molato gore a abelwe polase ya Batswana, e le Tautona yo mo setilong, yo Batswana ba mo tlhokomelang go ya go fitlhela a tsena ka lebitla, mme a bo a bona go tshwanela gore e re a eteletse a bo a ka fiwa polase, golo moo ke bogodu Mr Speaker.

MR SPEAKER: O biditswe ke mang wena Honourable Moswaane?

HONOURABLE MEMBER: Ke ao mafoko Mr Speaker.


He says specifically that you said certain words.

Now, it is those words which I want you to confirm if you said them, and then we know how to proceed.

Do you want him to repeat them?

MR SPEAKER: It is not clear what I had said before.

It is a legalistic argument; there is no factual basis of His Excellency (H.E) having done anything wrong.

It is a legally straight argument.

Jaanong ga ke itse gore re tsietsega fa kae.

MR KEORAPETSE: Yes, please.


MR SPEAKER: So that you can react?

MR SPEAKER: Nnyaa, do not do that.


Do not have own interpretation… HONOURABLE MEMBERS: …(Murmurs)… MR SPEAKER: His Excellency (HE), the Head of State holding Executive powers when he applied for the farm and he was given that farm, he says go tshwana le fa a bo a iphile, he should never put himself in that situation ka gore ene o duelwa ke the state right through.

That is the legalistic argument.

HONOURABLE MEMBER: He cannot say Tautona ke legodu.
HONOURABLE MEMBER: The Speaker’s ruling is final batho betsho.

HONOURABLE MEMBERS: ...(Murmurs)... MR SPEAKER: Honourable Keorapetse said HE was given the farm, he said so, but he then said go tshwana fela le fa a ikabetse.

...(Interruptions)... it was given.

ASSISTANT MINISTER FOR PRESIDENTIAL AFFAIRS, GOVERNANCE AND PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION (MR MTHIMKHULU): Procedure.
Mr Speaker, selo sa ntlha ke batla go simolola ka gore o rile Honourable Keorapetse’s argument is legalistic, but then he goes on to accuse the President gore ke legodu, and that one you have not ruled on gore a o dira sentle gore President ke legodu, fa a sa dire sentle, a a withdraw that statement.

We want to hear your ruling on that.

Secondly, the legalistic argument, Mr Speaker, ga e complete ya ga Honourable Keorapetse fa a re President ke ene the head ya Executive.
Molaomotheo wa Botswana 47.3 o bua gore, “nothing contained in this section shall prevent Parliament from conferring functions on persons or authorities other than the President.” There are functions in the Government that can be conferred on other authorities other than the President.

President ga a ka ke a exercise those functions, they can only be exercised by certain officials.

HONOURABLE MEMBERS: ...(Interruptions!)...

HONOURABLE MEMBER: Nnyaa, mo tlogeleng a bue, le mo kgoreletsa eng?
HONOURABLE MEMBERS: ...(Murmurs)... MR MTHIMKHULU: Moswaane, a ko o didimale ke fetse, ke tloga ke bua ka wena o bo o re ga ke dire sentle, o bo o rogana.

MR SPEAKER: You know what I am going to do?


I am going to park... MR MTHIMKHULU: Ke gone o bo o re ngwana wa gago o bolailwe ke mosadi wa gago, ke jone bomatla jone jo.

MR SPEAKER: I am going to start parking all those who are becoming rowdy.

MR MTHIMKHULU: I want to finish.

HONOURABLE MEMBER: Mosadi wa me o tlhokafetse pele ga ngwana.

MR MTHIMKHULU: This argument ga e complete yone e e legalistic eo, o a e tlhopha and o e dira jalo ka bomo deliberately to distort the truth.
O a itse gore certain functions cannot be performed by the President, if the President could have given himself that farm, o ka bo a sa tsamaya a ya go e ikopela (apply), o ka bo a e iphile, but it is a function that was performed by an officer of the Government, which has been conferred on him by the statutes tsa lefatshe.
Ga a bue ka golo moo, a a bue ka tsone dilo tse, that is why re re Mr Speaker, a dire ruling yone e, re e dire e siame, e tlhamaletse e bile gape go tlhamalale gore Keorapetse ga a buise President sentle, a a withdraw mafoko a gagwe go tlhamalale, gore fa a re President ke legodu ga a bue sentle, a withdraw.

MR SPEAKER: Honourable Members, ke gakgamala why there is such poverty in understanding what to me is a simple argument.
Honourable Keorapetse said, and he is on record, that he knows that the President applied and he was given the farm, after applying, he knows that, hence his argument that of course the President holds Executive powers, to him that is the same as the President giving himself a farm, ga go na gap gope.

E tlhatlharuane ya bogodu, I think it is because you are allergic to contrary views, you are really allergic.

HONOURABLE MEMBER: Ke babelaelwa.

MR SPEAKER: Nnyaa, ga ke itse sepe ka babelaelwa.


HONOURABLE MEMBER: Ba itse sentle ka bogodu, jaanong sengwe le sengwe ba se associate le bogodu.

HONOURABLE MEMBERS: ...(Murmurs)... HONOURABLE MEMBER: A re Speaker.

tswelele Mr MR SPEAKER: You want to be parked?


You certainly do not agree with the argument by Honourable Keorapetse that despite H.E applying like everybody else, despite H.E being given the farm by the relevant authorities, despite all that, nobody should conclude that H.E o iphile, which is what Honourable Keorapetse claims.

Ene a re fa go dirilwe jalo, wena o le H.E o iphile, go tshwana le fa o iphile.
He knows the facts of what actually happened, that H.E applied, was then given by the people who are sitting with the duty to allocate, but he is saying that does not matter, go tshwana le fa a iphile, why, because H.E holds Executive powers.

HONOURABLE MEMBER: Feleletsa Mr Speaker, gore o rile ke bogodu.

MR TSOGWANE: Ke ne ke batla gore procedure Mr Speaker, o rule mo kgannyeng e. You must rule gore re tle re e ise kwa komiting ya Palamente e e lebaganeng le rulings tsa gago.
HONOURABLE MEMBER: Wa re fa a re President ke legodu, o bua sentle?

HONOURABLE MEMBER: You are threatening the Speaker, hey?

MR SPEAKER: If there is no basis for it, I should have no difficulty in ruling, which is not on.

If there is an argument and to me for instance, I know what legodu is, peculiar in terms of our law, and from the admission by Honourable Keorapetse, none of the elements which constitute that crime have been shown, they do not exist.
HONOURABLE MEMBER: Rule Mr Speaker, please, and rule.

MR SPEAKER: No, I am not ruling.

HONOURABLE MEMBER: Then get the Hansard, o tlhaloganye sentle Mr Speaker gore o buile eng.

Fa o lebelela tse tsotlhe Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente, they point to lefatshe which is collapsing like the house of cards.

Go na le mathata a a serious, a ke sa itseng gore ba phathi e e busang, bogolo jang Matona, a ga ba a bone, ga a ba tshwenye.

Ke a tshwenyega Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente gore, nako e Tautona Masisi e nnang Tautona, re bona ba lelwapa la gagwe ba fenya tenders tsa Puso go feta ka nako e a neng a se Tautona.

Go a ntshwenya Mr Speaker, gore e ka re motho a ne a ntse a tshela mo lefatsheng e se Tautona, masika a gagwe ba ne ba sa fenye tenders tsa to supply Antiretrovirals (ARVs) mo Pusong le tenders tsa hundreds of millions, e bo e re motho a nna Tautona, e bo jaanong sa ntlha, ke gore ene ka bo ene e le Tautona, o kwadisitse dikompone tse di fetang tse a kileng a di kwadisa nako e neng e se Tautona.

Sa bobedi, masika a gagwe a simolola to win tenders mo Pusong.

21 Hansard No 205Friday 25th February, 2022COMMISSION OF ENQUIRY TO INVESTIGATE THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF CORRUPTION, ECONOMIC CRIME, MISMANAGEMENT, MALADMINISTRATION AND UNETHICAL GOVERNANCE IN PUBLIC INSTITUTIONSMotion (Resumed Debate) Go buiwa kgang ya gore Motion ga o a kwalega, golo moo ke seipato Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente.

What is not clear ka gore Palamente e tseye tshwetso ya gore go nne le commission of enquiry that is chaired by a Judge, what is not clear about that?
E e leng gore e tlaabo e direla dilo mo pontsheng, e bile report ya yone e tlaabo e phatlaladiwa or published.

What is not clear about that?

Commission e gape, e tlhotlhomise bophara le ka fa tshenyetso-setšhaba le go gopela itsholelo di ntseng ka teng.

What is not clear about gore part of terms of reference tsa commission e tlaabo e le go lebelela gore corruption and economic crime, nature and extent of corruption, corruption e jweleletse go le kae.
Transparency International is saying we have fallen five points.

Afrobarometer e supa gore Batswana ba re corruption e kwa godimo, e bile le kwa Office of the President Batswana mo Afrobarometer Survey ba supa jalo.

Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente, what is not clear about gore one of the terms of reference e tlaa nna gore commission e e itebaganye le corruption and economic crime gore bophara jwa yone a ke jaaka fa Transparency International, Afrobarometer le DCEC di bua.
Mismanagement, what is not clear about mismanagement, maladministration and unethical governance?

I do not understand because, kana se Motion o o se buang ke gore, a elements tsa good governance mo Botswana di tsenya Botswana mo mathateng a gore e bo mo sekaleng sa corruption, unethical mismanagement, maladministration governance, di wela kwa tlase, go na le mathata.
le Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente, Motion o maikaelelo jaaka ke ne ke bua ke gore, ga ke itse gore fa motho a botsa gore public institutions ke eng, a re ke kabo ke tlhalositse gore public institutions ke eng.

Gongwe le gongwe fa Goromente a leng teng, it is a public institution.

Fa o bua ka ofisi ya Puso, that is a public institution.
Fa o bua ka makalana a letsatsi le letsatsi re a tseelang ditshwetso ka go a direla melao le go a fa subventions, budget ya setšhaba, ke bua ka makalana a a tshwanang le ao Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente.

Maikaelelo a rona at the end of the day, e ne e le gore commission e e tle e gakolole ka gore ke yone e e ka gakololang gore appropriate policies, tse di ka nnang teng ke dife.

Makalana a a tshwanetseng gore a bo a le teng ke afe, a a leng teng a retelelwa jang, jaaka re bona DCEC gompieno.
Rra Nkamo o ne a bua gore DCEC le Directorate of Public Prosecution (DPP) ga ke ise ke bue gore ga di na bokgoni, mme o a itse gore ke tlisitse Bill mo Palamenteng e e setseng e badilwe la ntlha, e e lekang go nonotsha DCEC.

Fa ke bua le wena ka nako e, go na le cases tse di fetang 10 years, DCEC referred them to DPP, ga di ise di ke di tsene ka kgoro ya kgotlatshekelo.
Mabaka a otlhe Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente, a a tlama gore go nne le a commission of enquiry e ye go lebelela gore tota seemo se ka fa se ntseng ka teng se ka dirwa ka tsela e e ntseng jang.

Ba ntse ba bua ba re go na le makalana, ke eng go tshwanetse gore go nne le a commission of enquiry go na le makalana.

There was never a time mo lefatsheng la Botswana e go nnileng le a commission of enquiry, mme go sena makalana a botlhotlhomisi.
Fa go nna le commission ya Kgabo Commission, go ne go na le land boards, department of lands le sepodisi tse di neng di itebagantse le to implement Penal Code ya lefatshe la Botswana.

Makalana ao a ne a le teng a a tlhotlhomisang, Serious Crime le Crime Intelligence mo sepodising ba ne ba ntse ba le teng, mme ga nna le commission.
When Judge Lesetedi was appointed gore a etelele commission of enquiry ya kabo ya lefatshe, le le abilweng ka tshokamo, DCEC, sepodisi, CID, Serious Crime le makalana otlhe a ba ntseng ba a bua di ne di ntse di le teng.

Commission of enquiry tiro ya yone, especially ka fa Motion o ke o kwadileng ka teng, ga se go ya go tlhotlhomisa semangmang.

Ke go ya go lebelela gore tshenyetso-setšhaba le go gopela itsholelo di jweleletse go le kae mo lefatsheng la Botswana.
Matsapa di a tsaya kae gore cases which are high profile corruption cases, di bo di latlhegela Puso tsotlhe kwa makgotlatshekelong, Batswana ba felela ba latlhegelwa ke confidence mo makalaneng a botlhotlhomisi.

Dikgang tse di neng di buega fa, ke sone se o bonang di buiwa ke Matona le ba ba sha mo Domkrag.

Ba bangwe e le gore motho wa teng o tlogetse Domkrag ga nne, gabedi.
Ke ne ke raya yo mongwe maabane ke re, “ke gore lona motho o tlogela Domkrag gabedi, o tswa o ya Botswana National Front (BNF), Botswana Congress Party (BCP) o a boa, a bo a tla a ya Botswana Movement for Democracy (BMD), a bo a boela gape mo Domkrag.

A bo a le feta mo line a bo a ya go neelwa Botona.” Ke bo ke re, ke sone se o bonang batho ba, e le gore modumo wa bone ga o kana ka sepe mo Palamenteng.

Batho botlhe ba e leng gore fa go buiwa ka Tautona ba omana thata, o ba ele tlhoko.
Ke gore fa e se Mothusa Tautona, e se Honourable Deputy Speaker, Honourable Rakgare, Honourable Morwaeng, ke Honourable Mthimkhulu 22 Hansard No 205Friday 25th February, 2022COMMISSION OF ENQUIRY TO INVESTIGATE THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF CORRUPTION, ECONOMIC CRIME, MISMANAGEMENT, MALADMINISTRATION AND UNETHICAL GOVERNANCE IN PUBLIC INSTITUTIONSMotion (Resumed Debate) and there is something common about these people.

Gongwe in exception ya ga Mothusa Tautona ka gore tota ke letsogo la ga Tautona.
Ba botlhe ke batho ba ba tswang kwa kganetso, botlhe.

E rile fa ba tsena ba fiwa maemo, ba fitlhela batho ba le mo laeneng.

Jaanong go se ka ga le gakgamatsa gore e bo e kete boDomkrag jwa bone bo feta jwa go Honourable Regoeng, maDomkrag a motia a a goletseng mo phathing e, ba e sokoletse ka bokete jo bo kanakana.

Batho ba bo batla ba nna Matona, e bo e le gore ba tsosa modumo o o kanakana mo Palamenteng fa go buiwa ka dikgang tsa tshenyetso-setšhaba.
Ga go gakgamatse Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente.

Ba iphitlha ka monwana, Motion o tlhamaletse fela gore a gore nne le a commission of enquiry e e tlaa yang go lebelela gore dikgang tsa tshenyetso-setšhaba, di ka dirwa ka tsela e e ntseng jang.
Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente, dikgang tsa gore Tautona a bo a nna le dikgwebo, ke tlhalositse gore Tautona get intelligence briefings, including economic briefings tsa gore opportunities di kae, di ya go tla leng, batho ba tshwanetse ba di ipaakanyetse ka tsela e e ntseng jang.

All these briefings di tla kwa go Tautona by virtue of his office.
Jaanong gore e bo e nna a participant Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente, golo moo go a ntshwenya ka gore botshelo jwa ga Tautona fa a sena go nna Tautona, ene le masika a gagwe botshelo jwa bone bo fetogela kwa botokeng ka mokgwa o o makatsang.
Mr Speaker, fa ke buile jalo, I move that this Honourable House resolves that His Excellency the President sets up a Commission of Enquiry, chaired by a Judge, sitting in public and whose report shall be published, to investigate the nature and extent of corruption, economic crime, mismanagement, maladministration and unethical governance in public institutions with a view to recommend formulation of appropriate policies, programmes and enacting appropriate laws.

Mr Speaker, kana kwa Bokone Bophirima temothuo le bojanala ke tsone konokono ya matshelo a rona.

Kwa temothuong thatathata, kwa thuong ya dikgomo.


Fa re lebelela jaaka go diragala lefatshe ka bophara, palo ya dikgomo lefatshe ka bophara e ole kana e ntse e tsweletse e ya wa, e ya kwa tlase.

Rona kwa Ngamiland ka bo 2010 dikgomo tse di neng di le teng e ne e le bo 600 000, mme ka bo 2016 e ne e le bo 317 000, ngwaga o o neng o feta o ka 2021 di ne di wetse kwa tlase, palo ya tsone e le bo 200 000.

Motho fa a lebile seemo se se diragalang gompieno, fa re lebile the beef industry mo North West, kana pele ga boipuso le gongwe in the early 70s, the beef industry contributed more than 50 per cent to the GDP.
Gompieno agriculture fela contributes 0.9 per cent to the GDP compared to more than 50 per cent in 1966.

Kana gone moo fela go raya gore fa o lebelela dikgang tse di tshwanang gore BMC ya Maun e na le capacity ya to slaughter kana bokgoni jwa go bolaya dikgomo di tshwara bo 24 000 ka ngwaga, mme mo dingwageng tse tharo tse di ntseng di feta tse BMC e ntse e bolaya an average of 10 000 ka ngwaga.

Mo go rayang gore go na le deficit ya 14 000.

E raya gore matshelo a batho a wela kwa tlase.

Bone ba ba ka bong ba bonye thuso, ba ba ka bong ba bonye botshelo mo go 14 000 yo.

E raya gore palo ya barui e wela kwa tlase.

E raya gore malwapa a a ka bong a tshetswa ke dikgomo a wela kwa tlase.
Gone kana mabaka a teng a mantsinyana, ka gore go na le boitlhobogo jo bo setseng bo tsene mo bathong, ka gore kgomo ga e sa tlhole e na le boleng, ga e sa tlhole e na le ditlamorago tsa itsholelo, tse di neng di ntse di le teng nako e yotlhe fa batho ba santse ba dumela mo kgomong.
Gone moo fela ka bogone go raya gore batho jaanong ka bonya ka bonya ba a tswa, e bile ba dule mo go dumeleng mo kgomong ka mmetela, ka dipalo tse di kwa godimo, ka gore kgomo ga e na dipoelo, ka ntata ya gore prices, ditlhwatlhwa kwa go rona di kwa tlase fela thata.

E bile gape ditlhwatlhwa tse di a farologana.

Kwa BMC o tlaa bona gongwe ka bo P23, P25 per kg.

Fa o ya kwa private abattoirs a bo o e fitlhela ka bo P19 per kg.
Kana re raya dikgomo tse ditona, e seng namane jaaka go diragala kwa bo Ghanzi le dikgaolo tse dingwe.

Fa o ya to the butchers kgomo ya teng e tlaabo e go fa bo P15 per kg.

Sone se fela ka bosone ke se se dirang gore a bo e kete re ikuela thata gore kana mme batho ba jewa ntsoma, go tlhokafala golo mo go bidiwang gotwe Meat Regulator, yo o ka tlang a raya setšhaba, a ra ya bagwebi a re, nnyaa fa le ja batho ntsoma.

Motho sesagagwe o tshwanelwa ke gore a bo a boelwa ke sengwe mo go sone.
Late payments tsa BMC le tsone ke bothata jo re nang najo kwa kgaolong ya rona, gore fa o tsentse kgomo kwa BMC ka January o ya go bona dituelo tsa gago ka March.

Moo fela ka bogone go raya gore by the time dituelo tseo di goroga you have already spent that money mo go se tota o neng o sa ikaelela to spend mo go sone, ka gore o ne o tseela gore o a ithusa.

Jaanong ke go adima kwa le kwa fela gore ke solofetse sengwe, ke solofetse sengwe.
Mo madi a teng a felelang kgantele o kolota jaanong go feta mo o neng o go solofetse.

Re na le kgwetlho ya feeding challenges…ke alela dilo tse Mr Speaker gore re kgone go bona gore ke eng re tlhoka thuso e e ntseng jaana kwa Bokone Bophirima.

Re na le bothata jwa feeding challenges, gore jaanong mo merakeng ga go sa tlhole go na le bojang, ke dikgwa fela.

Fa e ne e ntse e le gore ke gone fa ne e le mafudiso, jaanong ke dikgwa, bush encroachment e nnile ntsi thata mo mafudisong.
Gone moo fela ka bogone jaanong go raya gore go jeswe leruo thata, go batliwe dijo tsa dikgomo.

E bile gape gone moo go raya gore palo ya dikgomo e nna ntsi, mo go feleletsang re nna le overgrazing le leuba le le leng teng kgapetsa kgapetsa mo kgaolong ya rona.

Ke dingwe tsa dikgwetlho tse re nang natso mo baruing.

Fa re tsena mo kgannyeng ya konokono, ya gore gone mme fa o isa kgomo ya gago kwa BMC ka e le yone e e ditlhwatlhwa di botoka mo kgaolong ya rona o tsaya dikgomo kae?
Transport cost e ntse jang?

Kana BMC re bua ka Maun, but kgaolo ele e tona, o kgona go e tsaya o tswa kwa bo Seronga, Kareng, ka fa dipolasing, o kgona go e tsaya o tswa fela gone fa go bo Toteng fale, kana Shorobe ka fa.

Fa o tswa ntlheng ya bo Shorobe, go raya gore transport ke P500 kgomo nngwe le nngwe.

Fa o tla o tswa kwa bo Beetsha, Seronga, transport go raya gore ke P1, 000 kgomo nngwe le nngwe.
Motho o ipotsa gore, gone mme jaanong fa go tsetse go dule P1, 000 wa transport mme kwa kgomong e, o ya go bona P4, 000 tota o tlaabo o saletswe ke eng mo thuong ya gago ya kgomo e?

Fa o tsena kwa quarantine, kana o e isa quarantine, e ya go nna 30 days, mme go raya gore kwa o tshwanelwa ke gore o nne le motlhokomedi wa dikgomo tse o tlaabong o di beile koo for 30 days.

Kwa morakeng wa gago gape kwa, o tshwanelwa ke gore o bo o na le motlhokomedi.
Gone moo fela ka bo gone, go raya gore go tsenya barui ba kwa mohoholela, go raya gore kgomo e le nngwe fela jaanong kana dikgomo tsone tseo, o felela kgantele o tswa fela mo dipalong gore o isitse dipalo tse kae.

Fa o isitse bo five, go raya gore felela gone mo go tlhokomeleng mo go eng, go ya go nna le tšhentšhinyana fela ya 25 per cent of the actual cost e o neng o tshwanelwa ke gore o ka bo o e bona.
Gape kana go tswa kwa quarantine go isa BMC gape, o duela transport gape e le P250, go raya gore fa o le mo surrounding ya Maun, o tlaa duela transport ya 27 Hansard No 205Friday 25th February, 2022GOVERNMENT TO CONSIDER SUPPLEMENTING NORTH WEST DISTRICT CATTLE FARMERS WHO SELL THEIR CATTLE TO BOTSWANA MEAT COMMISSION (BMC)Motion P750, fa o le kgakala kwa bo Beetsha-Seronga, o ya go duela transport ya bo P1, 300 per kgomo.

Gone mo fela go dingalo fela thata.


Of course yes go na le kgang ya private quarantine initiative, gore go rotloetsa gore batho ba dire masimo a bone gore go ka nna le private quarantine teng ba nna ba kwarantina gore ba se ka ba ya kgakala.

Re a itse gore costs tsa ditlhwatlhwa tsa go itirela kwarantine di ntse jang.

Kana go tlaabo go raya gore le bo feeding jalo le bo eng, le bo eng, batho ba meraka e mennyennyane ga ba ka ke ba kgona dilo tseo.
Ke tse di ka kgonwang fela ke batho ba ba nang le itsholelo.

Ke sone se re tlang re re leo lenaneo ee le teng, but ga se la majority ya batho ba ba ka thusegang.

Go na le kgang ya markets gape gore kana rona kwa Bokone Bophirima, jaaka maloba Tona fa a tsisitse statement mo Palamenteng, a bua ka fa e leng gore the beef industry e ya go tokafadiwa ka teng mo lefatsheng, o buile ka lefatshe lotlhe, mme North West e ne e seyo mo teng totally mo mananeong a a neng a fiwa.
A bua gore North West is a unique district, e na le dikgwetlho le ditsamaiso tsa yone, ga se e e ka tsenang fa.

Gone moo fela go raya gore re beilwe ka fa mosing, fa e le gore Goromente ga go na mananeo ape a re akantseng ka one.

Gone mo kana go dira seemo se e leng gore mebaraka le yone ga re yo mo go yone.
Ngwaga le ngwaga go buiwa ka Commodity Based Trade; ‘jaanong le ka rekisa sentle ka gore jaanong le wetse mo lenaneong Commodity Based Trade.’ Fa re re ee go siame re rekisa kae, nnyaa emang pele re santse re bua le Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Zimbabwe, le China.

Ngwaga le ngwaga ke sone se se diragalang.
Mo go rayang gore ga re na market; market wa rona fa bangwe ba re ba rekisa dikgongwana fa ka bo P4, 000 rona kwa re rekisa dikgomo tse ditona ka P4, 000 ka gore kgongwana o ya go e rekisa ka P1, 000 mme o nnile le expenses tsone tse, ka gore market wa rona o local, but still fa e ne le e gore market wa rona o local, o ne o ka nna lucrative, like one wa the tenders tsa ga Goromente kwa bo police, kwa dikolong, kwa kae, e bo e le gore Goromente o reka directly from BMC ya Maun, go ne go ka nna botoka.
Prices that are won with tenders, e ka bo e le prices tse di yang to the beef farmers tsa North West, but ga re na market totally.

Gone moo fela go dira gore jaanong kgomo e se ka ya nna le mosola, mo go rona.

Fa e sa nne le mosola mo go rona, go raya gore jaanong re digela kwa tlase boleng le botlhokwa jwa gore re ka itshetsa ka kgomo, dipalo tsa batlhoki di a oketsega.

Re na le dikgwetlho tse di ntsinyana gape fa go tla mo beef industry, tse di tshwanang le tsa bo human-wildlife conflict.
Re na le Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) kwa, dinare di A goroga, we are a red zone, mme re na le kgang e tona ya ditlou, moswi wa terata yo o kileng a nna teng wa FMD fence, ga e sa tlhole e le teng ka ditlou di e digile, di ntsifetse mo go feteletseng, go raya gore dinare di a itaola, di tsamaya fela, di salwa morago ke bo ditau jalo le dibatana tse dingwe.

Mo go rayang gore dibatana di nyeuma fela mo kgaolong ya rona.
Re bo re nna le bothata jwa tsone ditlou tse e leng gore di jojo tse, masaka, eng, ke dilo tse di nnang di thubilwe, di kgaotswe letsatsi le letsatsi.

Mo go rayang gore issue ya wildlife-human conflict e ntsi thata.

Fa o tswa o re o ya go batla dikgomo, o kopana le yone tlou, mo go rayang gore jaanong o ya go fitlhela matimela kana dikgomo tsa rona ele majankiri fela, go sena gore o ka ya go tsamaya o ya go batla, o ya go tlhatlhela ka gore o kopana le tlou, mme tlou ga e na mercy fa e kopana le wena.
Mo go rayang gore jaanong ditau le diphiri di ijela fela.

Dilo tse Mr Speaker, ke bothata jo re nang le jone, jo bo dirang gore e nne o kare jaanong dipalo tsa rona tsa dikgomo di wela kwa tlase, le rona re a itsapa gore jaanong re tsene mo mohameng o. Golo mo go bidiwang letlhoo, mo dikgaolong tsele tsa bo Toteng, Kareng, Sehithwa, fa pula e ne le sentle, ntsi ya teng e itaya kgomo fela mo e leng gore ke bothata, but ga re bone supplementary epe e re thusiwang mo go yone.
Re na le yone issue ya buffalo fence, kana dikgomo tsa rona fa di tloletse buffalo fence ka kwa, di a bolawa, mme fa dinare di tloletse ka kwa go rona, di busediwa fela ka kwa, mme re bua ka bo Commodity Based Trade initiative, o ipotsa gore jaanong dikgomo tse di bolaelwa eng, ka gore re na le laboratory ke e, we export melemo, a mme jaanong ga se nako ya gore laboratory le melemo tse re di dirise, re di bolaelang dikgomo tse, but di a bolawa.
Kana kgomo ke phologolo, fa terata ya FMD e ole, dikgomo fa di tswa di bona bojang jo bo botoka bo le ka kwa, di a tsamaya ka gore ga go na le fa e le fence, di ya go ja.

Ba veterinary ba a di tshwara koo moraka otlhe o bo o bolawa, o sala ka eng?

Batho ba bangwe fa ba bona o bolaelwa moraka otlhe, ba ipotsa gore is it worth it, a bone ba ka tswelela ka thuo ka gore go ya go tswelela go ntse jaana.
Re na le kgofa e nngwe kwa side ya bo Tubu, bo Daneha ka kwa e e bidiwang beMobile, e e feditseng dikgomo gone ka kwa, e e leng gore ga re a bona thuso epe.

E talanyana jaana kgofa ya teng, ga re a bona thuso epe kay one.

28 Hansard No 205Friday 25th February, 2022GOVERNMENT TO CONSIDER SUPPLEMENTING NORTH WEST DISTRICT CATTLE FARMERS WHO SELL THEIR CATTLE TO BOTSWANA MEAT COMMISSION (BMC)Motion Proposal ya Motion o ke gore re kopa Palamente e gore e dumalane gore a Goromente a leke maano kana a nne le maano a gore a re thuse rona re le North West beef farmers mo kgannyeng ya BMC, tse dingwe tse gongwe re ka tswelela re ntse re sheleketla ka tsone.
Kgang ya BMC fela ya transport costs gore a mme re lebile gore; ke a itse gore Tona o ya go tla a re kwa Kgomokgwana kwa, re baakanya kwarantini, go raya gore transport costs tsa batho bale di ya go fokotsega, but still transport costs tsa kwarantini, lefatshe lotlhe ga ba kwarantini, ke rona fela ba re kwarantinang.

Mo go rayang gore batho ba bangwe ba o tsaya from moraka a bo a tsaya quota ya gagwe ya BMC, within a week a bo a phutha a dijesajesa foo gore di se ka tsa tsamaela kgakala, a bo a isa.
Wena o ya go tshwanelwa ke gore o di beye 30 days o di tlhokomela, o di jesa o reng, mo go rayang gore go diga boleng jwa price e ntseng e le kwa tlase gale gape le yone kwa North West.

Jaanong fa transport re ne re ka e thusiwa, gongwe go ne go ka nna botoka fela thata.
Gape mo gongwe mo re neng re tseela gore go ka diragala ke gore a re leke to reintroduce kana re buseletse mogopolo ole wa gore BMC e reke, then it quarantines; e nne le direct purchasing fa e le gore go tlhokafala quarantine ka gore fa gongwe o ipotsa gore what are the reasons for quarantining ka gore nama e ga e ye European Union (EU), ke e re e jang fela gone mo, mme re tsweletse re a tshela.
Botoka, kgang ya direct purchasing e ka re thusa mo management wa quarantine le mo costs tsa quarantine kwa North West.

Mo gongwe gape ke gore kgang ya gore fa re le kwa quarantine, re bo re tlhokometse, gongwe Goromente o ka re thusa gore a nne le ba ba ka re tlhokomelelang kwa quarantine fa rona re santse re le kwa merakeng, fa e le gore tse dingwe tse ga a di kgone, so that o ka fokotsa extreme costs and expenses mo go bolayang boleng jwa kgomo.
Dilo tse fela ka bo tsone fa Goromente a ka di re thusa, re tseela gore kana cattle farmers mo mafatsheng a a tshwanang le bo Brazil, South Africa and even in Europe, are hugely supplemented, mme go sena dikgang tse di kanakana tse.

That is why beef industries tsa bone di le so powerful thatathata gone kwa bo Brazil, mme e bile ba kgona to export large numbers tse di ka busetsang itsholelo mo lefatsheng.
Motion o maikaelelo a one ke go busetsa serodumo sa kgomo fela gone kwa go bo 70s, kwa re neng re kgona gore kgomo e bo e ka re tshetsa gore a re e busetseng gone kwa, re kgone go tshela.
Go ikanya to import kana go tsaya dijo kwa ntle ga go ka ke ga re thusa ka sepe because if we do not supplement our beef industry gompieno, re a e bolaya slowly but surely and re ya go felela re reka nama go tswa kwa mafatsheng a sele, mme e ne e le rona the major exporters ba nama mo kgaolong yone e. Gone mo fela can motivate banana gore ba tsene mo beef sector e ba busetsa.

It can motivate generational takeover of farms.


Gompieno fa o ya kwa merakeng ke batho ba ba tona fela, banana ga ba ye teng ka gore ga bone the benefits tsa gore ba ka tshela ka moraka ka ga o na tlhwatlhwa, boleng le dipoelo.

Ka go rialo Mr Speaker, I so submit.

There is a very lucrative market o o kwa Mozambique o o batlang thata go rotloetsa (promote) this weaner production mo kgaolong e. Ke dumela gore banana ba kwa Bokone Bophirima, ba ntheeditse thata ka gore ke dithulaganyo tse Puso e di etse tlhokong thata mme e bile di tsamaisana thata segolobogolo le Tlhomontšha e Tautona a re e beileng pele, tlhabatshe ya bone e e buang ka value chain development.
E re dumelang gore dithulaganyo tsotlhe fa ba ka di tseeletsa, di tlaa kgona gore di thuse barui ba ba kwa Bokone Bophirima gore ba kgone go akola segolobogolo mo thuong ya bone ya kgomo.

MR SALESHANDO: Clarification.


Minister just two points, ya ntlha ke gore mo go e ya value chain development, a go na le anything specific se le neng le itebagantse le sone gore se re batla go se isa kwa Ngamiland kana Maun re lebile bothata jo bo leng teng?

disadvantage because I think that is the critical point?
The return on investment ya morui yo o mo North West fa o e tshwantshanya le regions tse dingwe mo lefatsheng la Botswana, a ga gona bosupi jwa gore go lebega koo go le bokete go feta kwa dikgaolong tse dingwe, you get less out of every pula that you invest mo kgomong kwa North West?
DR DIKOLOTI: Mo go ya gago ya bofelo o e botsa, ga ke itse gore a o ne o ntheeditse ke re kana nngwe ya dikgwetlho tse di teng mo kgaolong ya Bokone Bophirima ke nngwe e e buegang ka puo ya seeng gotwe husbandry procedures, tse ba di salang morago.

Go rua kgomo go fitlhelela e thunya ditlhako Dumelang ga go go busetse, o tshwanetse gore o rue kgomo o e rekise e santse e le naana gore e kgone go go neela dipoelo tse di duleng diatla.
Ke ne ke bua gore go na le dimmaraka tse di bulegileng, which are very lucrative.

Mmaraka o akaretsa wa kwa Mozambique, o ba letlelelang gore ba ka reka dikgomo go tswa kwa North West.
Ka o ne o botsa gape gore re dira eng, re le ba Lephata la Matlhoko a Leruo re nna re dira mo gotweng risk analysis go lebelela gore mme Kgaolo ya Bokone Bophirima re ka dira jang, tlhako le molomo e tlhagoga kwa kae, ke kwa kae kwa e sa tlhagogeng sentle, re ka dira jang gore ba ba koo bao re kgone gore re ba sireletse ka tsela nngwe gore kwa bofelelong ba kgone go felela ba rekisa nama ya bone kwa mmarakeng o o phuthulogileng gona le o o restricted ka fa go ntseng ka teng.
Go na le thulaganyo e nngwe e re e bitsang re re compartmentalisation of farms e go nang le bangwe ba matlhoko a leruo who have assessed farms tsa bone.

Such people o a go fitlhela gore fa a tlisa dikgomo tsa gagwe within the red zone with this compartmentalisation, dikgomo tsa gagwe di tlaabo di kgona gore di nne accessible to the lucrative market wa European Union (EU).

Mo ke dingwe tsa dipatlisiso tse re le ba matlhoko a leruo re tsweletseng re di dira.
O tlaa gakologelwa gore re na le kompone e le neng le bua ka yone Honourable Kekgonegile ya Vaccine Institute, ga e a nna fela, e tsweletse ka dipatlisiso tsa go fetola melemo e re e dirisang go bona gore kwa bofelelong re nna le melemo e e ka re thusang go laola bolwetse jwa tlhako le molomo botoka, gore kgaolo e e kgone gore e nne le dipoelo fela tse di duleng diatla.

Re ne re na le kompone e e neng e bidiwa AOB e e neng e dirisa mosu thata go dira dijo tsa bone, golo mo go neeletse gape value chain development, e ke solofelang gore le le Mapalamente ba kwa Bokone Bophirima le tlaa nna le ntse le tla kwa go rona re tla go le gakolola le go feta ka fa re ka buang ka teng mo Palamenteng, gore kwa bofelelong banni ba Bokone Bophirima ba kgone to benefit mo dithulaganyong tse Puso e di ipeileng pele, ka gore fa o ka ela tlhoko thulaganyo e ya Tlhomontšha e re e beilweng pele, o tlaa bona gore ke thulaganyo e e humileng thata e e leng gore fa re ka inaakanya le yone, Batswana ba tlaa kgona go tswa mo lehumeng le ba ntseng ba le mo go lone.
Ke tsaya gore ka tseo Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente, ga re dumalane le Motion o Rre Kekgonegile a re o beileng pele.

Re dumela gore tse re tsweletseng re di dira kwa Bokone Bophirima di lekane, e bile re tlaa tswelela re ntse re bua le bone ka gore kgangkgolo ya rona ke go bona gore re tsalanya jang go tshela ga nare le dikgomo kwa kgaolong ya Bokone Bophirima gore kwa bofelelong barui le bone ba kgone to access all the market.
Ba Lephata la Veterinary ba tsweletse tota ba a bereka thata Honourable Kekgonegile, o nne o ikgolaganya thata le Dr Thololwane kwa Ngamiland a nne a go tlhatlhelela thata ka dikgang tse tsa compartmentalisation.

O kgone go gakolola le barui gore go tlhokana le eng gore kwa bofelelong tshimo ya gago e bo e ka felela o ka e dirisa gore o kgone to quarantine mo go yone.

MR BROOKS (KGALAGADI SOUTH): Thank you Honourable Speaker.
Re ntse re utlwa ka fa mmei wa Motion a o kopelang ka teng, o ntshitse dintlha tse di botlhokwa a lebile letlhoko le go akanya ka fa go ka tokafadiwang ka teng re lebile matshelo a batho ba Bokone Bophirima, (North West) ka Sekgoa.

Le fa go ntse jalo, re tla re utlwa ka fa Tona a lekang go tlhalosa kgang ka teng gore bone e le Ministry wa Temothuo kana Puso e dira go le kae go leka go thusa mo diemong tse di ntseng jalo.
Dilo tse re tshwanetse jaanong re tsene mo dipuisanong, re di lebelele ka go tshwana le gore batho ba re ba duletseng fa re ba kopela dithuso tse, bone seabe sa bone re ba rotloetsa go le kae mo dithulaganyong tse di ntseng jaana.

Go botlhokwa Mr Speaker, gore re thuse batho, segolo jang re itse kgaolo e tshwana le Bokone Bophirima gore e tswa kae ka dikgwetlho tse di kanakana, mo lebakeng le le kae ba ntse ba lebega e kete ba apesitswe ke boitlhobogo fa go tla go tsena mo thuong.
Dilo tse re tshwanetse gore e re jaanong re tsena mo kgannyeng e e tshwanang le e, re bo re tsentse leitlho thata mo go tsone.

Potso fela ke gore fa re tshwanetse gore re thuse batho Mr Speaker, re tlaa tswelela re ba direla go fitlhelela go le kae.

MoAferika a re,“tlogelang go direlwa jaaka nama le le batho.” Re tshwanetse re rotloetse batsadi ba rona gore kwa bofelong jwa letsatsi, se ba se tshwereng ba nne le seabe se se tseneletseng thata mo go sone.
Go tle go nne le dipoelo tse ba itseng gore ba ne ba na le seabe sa go huhula mo go tsone.

Ke dumalana le mafoko a a neng a buiwa ke Tona gore ga re sa tlhole re ka rua jaaka bogologolo mo re tlaa fitlhelang re sa itse gore a re ruile lenaka la dikgomo kana letlalo la dikgomo.

Thulaganyo e ba e dirileng ya gore re rekise dikgomo e le weaners, le gone go ka re berekela.

Maloba batho ba ba neng ba tlisa mo BMC e e ka fa Lobatse, ba kile ba rata go palangwa ke leshekere.
I know problem ya North West is so unique because of Foot and Mouth.

Ga se e re ka e itebatsang.

Equally, fa re bua ka tlhabololo le go fetola se re nang le sone gone foo, go tsena mo tirisong e e tlaa dirang gore e berekele batho ba rona, re tshwanetse gore dilo tsotlhe re di tseye re di beye mo tafoleng, re di lebelele.

Se ke lekang go se supa fela fa ke gore, BMC ya Lobatse e kile ya thusa barui ba yone gore ba tseye loans mo BMC.

Ba ye go dira feeds, ba jese dikgomo.


Fa dikgomo di sena go nna dintle, di nna botokanyana, e bo ba simolola gore fa ba isa dikgomo tseo kwa BMC, BMC e tlaabo e tlhaba dikgomo e bo e ntsha madi a yone.

I know here we are talking about fa di setse di le quarantined, ke tsaya gore go ka tswa go sa tsamaelane fa re go bua ka molomo.

However, fa re bua ka tlhokomelo le gore the end product ya gore le batla e nna eng, re dumalana gore di a welana.
Ke sone se ke reng re tshwanetse re kope, re bo re rotloetse batsadi ba rona ba Bokone Bophirima gore, go na le dithulaganyo tse re ka di salang morago, tse di ka 32 Hansard No 205Friday 25th February, 2022GOVERNMENT TO CONSIDER SUPPLEMENTING NORTH WEST DISTRICT CATTLE FARMERS WHO SELL THEIR CATTLE TO BOTSWANA MEAT COMMISSION (BMC)Motion re thusang gore e re kwa bofelong jwa letsatsi, go nne profitable.

Kgomo ka boyone re e fetole, re tsene mo kgwebong.


Fa e tsena mo kgwebong, o dira mo gotlhe mo o ka go dirang gore e tle e busetse ditshenyegelo tsa yone, e sa go babalele o le morui, e sa babalele Puso ka tsela e e ntseng jalo.

Dilo tsotlhe tse, ke tsone tse… re leka go sireletsa go le kae.

E tle e re kamoso re di batlela mebaraka kwa Dubai le Saudi Arabia, re bo re itse gore mo nakong e e kana Tlhako le Molomo ga e ise e kwadisiwe mo kgaolong ya Bokone Bophirima.
Fa re sa sale morago protocols tse, ga re ka ke ra itse gore a Tlhako le Molomo a e a anama kana ga e aname.

MR MOTAOSANE: Clarification Mr Speaker.

Thank you Honourable Brooks.

Ga ke a go utlwa sentle ka kgang ya ka fa BMC e dirang ka teng e thusa balemi gore ba tseye sekolotonyana mo go bone ba tokafatse dikgomo tsa bone pele ga ba di isa.

Ga ke itse gore wa re kwa North West ba dire jang?

Ke batla o wela gone foo.

Ga ke a go utlwa o wela gore wa re kwa North West ba dire jang?

Le fa ba ka tsaya madi ao, a go ya go nna le poelo fa ba rekisa kwa go bone?

Thank you sir.

MR BROOKS: Thank you.

O nkutlwile.


Ke tsaya gore fa o utlwa Tona a tlhalosa, o ne a supa gore ba ne ba oketsa madi a North West kana a matlhabelo a Maun go ya kwa go P28.00, fa ke ne ke mo tshwara sentle, o tlaa nkgakolola, kana o tlaa gakolola Ntlo e. Jaanong se ke neng ke leka go se supa ke gore, malobeng BMC ya Lobatse e ne e go ntshetsa gore o ka tsaya a maximum ya P1,500.00 go jesa kgomo ya gago mo selekanyong se se kana gore e tle e kgone to gain weight e e kana.
E re o e isa matlhabelong at your own expense ya go tlhokomela jalojalo, but feeding dilo tse tsotlhe, BMC e ne e go ntshetsa P1500.00 o bo o itlhokomelela kgomo eo.

O e jesa from that P1500.00, e bo e re e sena go nna e tlhabiwa, ba bo ba goga their P1500.00 yo o neng o mo tsere.

Re balela le costs tsotlhe tsa gago mo teng jaaka o tlaabo o ntse o tsamaya up and down.
Se ke lekang go se supa ke gore, fa re ka tsaya thulaganyo e e neng e dirwa ke BMC ka nako eo, e direlwa farmers, re bo re ruta farmers tsa rona tse di kwa Bokone Bophirima, go ka fokotsa burden e re batlang go e pega Puso gore re tlhokomele batsadi ba rona ba Bokone Bophirima.

Se ke lekang go se gatelela ke gore, I am saying this for real, thuo ya kgaolo ya Bokone Bophirima is so unique ka bothata jwa Tlhako le Molomo and dilo tsotlhe tse.
Protocols tse di amanang le mafatshe a a bapileng le rona kana kwa re rekisang dinama teng Honourable Motaosane, re tshwanetse ra di sala morago.

33 Hansard No 205Friday 25th February, 2022GOVERNMENT TO CONSIDER SUPPLEMENTING NORTH WEST DISTRICT CATTLE FARMERS WHO SELL THEIR CATTLE TO BOTSWANA MEAT COMMISSION (BMC)Motion Tsamaiso mo lelwapeng le mo go Goromente e ka go tshela lehuma.

Dikakanyo di ka go tsenya lehuma ka fa o akanyang dilo ka teng.

gore ba reketswe dikgomo.

Dilo tse kana go ntshiwa mo mading a batho ba ba reng ba iketsha kwa morago Mr Speaker.
Mr Speaker, ka fa go tsamayang ka teng kwa Ngamiland, kana kwa North West, ga se gore barui ga ba iteke, barui ba a iteka.

Mpolelele gore badisa ba ba disang dikgomo tsa batho ba North West ba duelwa ke mang?

Dijo tsa dikgomo tsa barui ba North West di rekwa ke mang mo madirelong?

Mekento e rekwa ke mang?

So, in other words, ke leka go supa gore the farmers gantsi ba a bo ba ikitshitse kwa morago, ba ikagela masaka, ba ituelela badisa, ba duela batho ba ba agang masaka a mofuta oo le matlo jalojalo.
Sa rona re le Goromente ke go oketsa dituelo tsa badisa fela re sa itse gore the farmers ba tsaya kae madi.

So, mogopolo o, o mo go reng a e re le fa go okediwa dituelo tsa badisa e bo e le gore le tsone the farmers fela by nature di eme sentle, di ka itepatepanya le seemo sa go duela badisa Mr Speaker.
Fa re tlhoafetse Mr Speaker, ka mogopolo o, re le lefatshe re sala mafoko a ga Tautona morago le Cabinet ya gagwe gore lefatshe le tshwanetse gore le ijese, batho ba lefatshe le ba tshwanetse to be empowered.

Ke nngwe ya ditsela tsa gore re ka thusa batho gore ba ntshe dijo tse di lekanyeng go jesa lefatshe.

E seng go ba kgobotla le go ba tshega gore ba tshwanetse gore ba bone maano a gore ba ya go bona kae kana jang ka fa ba ka itshetsang ka teng Mr Speaker.
Mr Speaker, kana ba bangwe fa gongwe fare bua ka to quarantine, ga ba itse gore to quarantine kgomo go tewa eng.

To quarantine kgomo go tewa e le gore kgomo e foo 100 per cent, botshelo jwa yone bo mo lesakeng, mme fa bo le mo lesakeng, ke mathata a mong wa kgomo.

Mr Speaker, bothata jo bo diragalelang kgomo ka nako e o ke bothata jo bo mo lebanyeng motho yoo.

So, se mogopolo o lekang go se bua ke gore imololang batho.
Maikaelelo le maikemisetso a mebuso e e tlhoafetseng ke gore fa o re ntlhopheng kana nneela setilo, ke go ya go dira gore go kokonelwa ga batho ke botshelo, go nne motlhofo go ikapola kobo ya kokonelo ya botshelo, e seng gore o ye go dira gore go nne thata go ya kwa pele.

Mr Speaker, re letse re bua ka koketsego ya leokwane, oil, dijo le taxes tse di farologanyeng maabane.

Dilo tse di kokonela batho ba Ngamiland le go feta ka gore di fitlhela e le bahumanegi ba ba leng mo mpaananeng.
Mr Speaker, re letse re bua ka dikgang tsa gore… go na le lekgetho le lengwe le le kgethisiwang the farmers Mr Speaker, mathata a mangwe ke one a a builweng ke Mapalamente Kekgonegile.

Kgaolo ya Ngamiland e na le seemo se se utlwisang botlhoko sa yone fela.

E na le ntsi ya lethobo, kgang ya Foot and Mouth le kgofa e e bolayang ya beMobile Mr Speaker.

Dilo tse ga se tse di fitlhelwang mo mafelong a mangwe.
Ke tsone tse di irang gore re lele le batho ba Ngamiland, re ipotse gore gatwe batho ba kgaolo e ya Bokone Bophirima tota ba sentse eng?

Fa re le Goromente o o tlhoafetseng, re batla go ema le bone gore le bone ba bone gore re batla go ba ntsha kwa morago, re tshwanetse ra dira sone se Mr Speaker, ba thusiwa mo masakeng ka dijo le gore dikgomo di tlamelwe.
Le fa ba sa direlwe jalo mme gongwe go nne le tsamaiso nngwe ya gore ba ka ya go bona madi kae ka e bile ke le Motsamai ke le fa, ke tlhola ke bua gore kana go tshwanetse ga nna le banka fela e e itebagantseng le temo-thuo.

Bo CEDA fa o ya kwa go bone o ya go ikuela o re ke tsenya dikgomo mo quarantine gore di ye go rekwa, o ya go batliwa dilo tse dintsintsi tse di felelang madi a project eo a feta dikgomo tse di mo lesakeng.
So, ke dikgang tse re tshwanetseng ra di tsaya ra ba ra di isa kwa tlhogong, re batla gore re ntshe morui kwa morago mme re sa tseye morui wa North West fela.

Kana go isa kgomo kwa thekisong o a bo o raya gore o itepatepanye le mathata a a leng teng mo lefatsheng la Botswana go balelwa mathata a dintsho le a manyalo lefatshe ka bophara Mr Speaker.

Re e leba jaaka, re se ka ra leba fela gore ba batla gore ba direlwe.
Mr Speaker, go builwe ka dikgang tsa gore batho ba North West ba diretswe di mmaraka kae le kae mme nama ya bone e ntse e le ya Foot and Mouth.

Dilo tseo ga di bereka mo bathong ba North West.

Ipotse gore fa lehuma la batho ba le sa fetoge le la baruakgomo mme dilo tseo go ntse gotwe di teng, ba tshela jang, di na le effect e e kana ka eng mo go bone?

Mebaraka eo ga e bereke, go tsaya lebaka le le leele.

A ga o itse gore gore o ise kwa mebarakeng eo ke gore o quarantine?
A ga o itse gore o ise teng ke gore o bo o duetse transport?

Ke dikgang tse e leng gore di kganetswe ke tse dingwe.
