2 of 2022) Second Reading (Resumed Debate)..................................................................................................................9-42 Wednesday 9th February, 2022 THE ASSEMBLY met at 2:00 p.m. (THE SPEAKER in the Chair) P R A Y E R S * * * * SPEAKER’S REMARKS MR SPEAKER (MR SKELEMANI): Honourable Members, may you please switch on your videos to enable us to take care of the quorum.

Honourable Members, let us start our business today with questions.
QUESTIONS FOR ORAL ANSWER SERVICEABLE BOREHOLES IN THE NORTH EAST DISTRICT MR S. N. MOABI (TATI WEST): asked the Minister of Land Management, Water and Sanitation Services to state: (i) how many boreholes are serviceable in the North East District; and (ii) whether Government will consider the above stated boreholes for agricultural purposes once the Ntimbale Water Project is completed and functional.

MINISTER OF LAND MANAGEMENT, WATER AND SANITATION SERVICES (MR MZWINILA): Good afternoon Mr Speaker.
(i) Mr Speaker, there are 64 serviceable Water Utilities Corporation (WUC) boreholes in the entire North East District.

All these boreholes are used to augment water supply in the villages.

Mr Speaker, after the commissioning of North East and Tutume Sub-District Water Supply Projects, my ministry will not release the boreholes to be used for agricultural purposes because WUC will continue to conjunctively operate the existing boreholes with the new water scheme.
WUC has embarked on a sustainable water resource management strategy of conjunctive use of water resources in places where such resources exist.

This is to ensure that the ever increasing water demand is met against the diminishing water sources.

(ii) It is therefore prudent to continue to conjunctively operate the existing boreholes and supply from Ntimbale dam to abate dependency on one water source which is an operational risk.
Besides, inclement weather conditions remain a challenge to plan for sustainable water resource utilisation and therefore, it would not be advisable to dispose of our serviceable boreholes which are meant for human consumption to be allocated for other usages or other purposes such agriculture.

I thank you Mr Speaker.

MR MOABI: Supplementary.

CONSTRUCTION OF MOLEPOLOLE POLICE STATION MR O. REGOENG (MOLEPOLOLE NORTH): asked the Minister of Defence, Justice and Security to state: (i) when the long promised Molepolole Police Station will be constructed; (ii) if he is aware that the present number of police in Molepolole is inadequate to cope with the level of crime considering the size of the village; and (iii) what the ministry is doing to curb the spate of cash heists ravaging businesses and banking sectors around the country.
MINISTER OF DEFENCE, JUSTICE AND SECURITY (MR MMUSI): Thank you Mr Speaker, good afternoon Mr Speaker, good afternoon Honourable Members, Honourable Regoeng mma ke go leboge rraetsho for your question.

Mr Speaker, (i) The new Molepolole Police Station and 150 staff houses project was planned for implementation during the National Development Plan (NDP) 11, from the Financial Year 2020/2021.
However, due to budgetary constraints, Government took a decision to only fund ongoing projects and as such this project was deferred and it will be considered once the situation improves.

(ii) I do confirm that Molepolole Police Station has, over the past three years, been recording relatively higher numbers of incidents of crime.
I am also aware that the present number of police personnel in Molepolole is not enough to cope with the level of crime and size of the village, even though the staff complement of the police is 182 officers as of date.

To mitigate this problem, Lekgwapheng Police Post was opened in 2012 to relieve the main Station.

Mr Speaker, as and when a need arises, resources are pooled from other police establishments in Molepolole.
to complement personnel (iii) My ministry has indeed noted with concern incidents of cash heists targeted at businesses especially the banking sector.

In mitigation thereof, the Botswana Police is currently implementing a comprehensive response plan to effectively counteract this phenomenon.

I want to assure or inform this honourable House that consultations with all critical stakeholders are ongoing with a view to finding a lasting solution to this problem.

I thank you Mr Speaker.

TENDERS WON BY CHINESE COMPANY MR D. L. KEORAPETSE (SELEBI PHIKWE WEST): asked the Minister of Finance and Economic Development to update this Honourable House on the Public Procurement and Assets Disposal Board (PPADB) facilitated Government tender bids won by or awarded to Chinese Company China Civil Engineering Construction Botswana (Pty) Ltd (including direct appointments) in the last 10 years; the Minister should specifically state and explain: (i) the total number of tenders (state these tenders/ jobs) and their value, including amount paid by the treasury to the company (include value for each tender; (ii) the amount of tax the company paid; (iii) the amount Batswana contractors were paid as sub-contractors (total and for each tender); (iv) the amount repatriated as profit and the amount invested in Botswana; and (v) whether the company did Government jobs simultaneously (including direct appointments) in the last 10 years.
MINISTER OF FINANCE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT (MS SERAME): Thank you Mr Speaker and good afternoon.

Thank you Honourable Keorapetse for the question.

Mr Speaker, (i) China Civil Engineering Construction Botswana (Pty) Ltd was awarded one tender in the past 10 years, competing as a joint venture with Landmark Projects (Pty) Ltd.
The total value of this project was Three Hundred and Ninety-Nine Million, Eight Hundred and Eighty-Seven Thousand, Six Hundred and Seventy-Five Pula and Sixty-One Thebe (P399 887 675.61).

I think it is also just to indicate that the tender was for the design, supply and building of boreholes, equipping them, as well as booster station and associated works.
The project was initially meant to be awarded in 2019 but there were some disputes by another company, in the end it was awarded in November 2020 and the award amount as I said is P399.

88 million.

Currently Mr Speaker, the project is at 34.5 per cent completion as at February 7th, 2022.
(ii) Mr Speaker, the project was awarded inclusive of the Value Added Tax (VAT), which means that the total amount of the tender awarded to the Joint Venture included that amount of Forty-Seven Million, Nine Hundred and Eighty-Six Thousand, Five Hundred and Twenty-One Pula and Seven Thebe (P 47 986 521.07).

Mr Speaker, this question is similar to previous questions I have responded to before, relating to tax.
As of now, first is that this project is still ongoing but I have also indicated the amount of VAT, but that I can only disclose the VAT because of Section 5 of the Income Tax Act, the Botswana Unified Revenue Service Act of 2004.

Also the policy of Citizen Economic Empowerment (CEE) applies in all these projects and for this particular one, 30 per cent was to be reserved for citizens and the amount is P119 966 302.68.
(iii) The last but one question was referring to the inward and outward investment that I am unable to provide that information Mr Speaker.

There was also the issue relating to exchange controls.

I have previously explained in this House that we do not have exchange controls.

However, I always note the Honourable Members concerns of companies that make profit here and they seem not to be investing back as much into our economy.
7 Hansard No 205Wednesday 9th February, 2022QUESTIONS FOR ORAL ANSWER (iv) Lastly Mr Speaker, as this was the only tender awarded to China Civil Engineering Construction, jobs done for the aspect of simultaneous Government does not apply.

I thank you Mr Speaker.

MR KEORAPETSE: Supplementary.

Ke a leboga Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente.

Sa bobedi ke re ke go botse gore, a o ka tswa o itse gore kompone e e kile mo nakong e e fetileng was blacklisted ke ba World Bank; a e ka tswa e kile ya amiwa ke blacklisting ya World Bank?
Se sengwe ke re ke go botse gore a le ka tswa le na le dipuisanyo mo go ipelaetseng ga Mapalamente, ke le mongwe wa bone, mo goreng dikompone tse di dira madi mo Botswana a mantsi, e bo e le gore jaanong mme ga gona se se ba itsang gore ba ka tsaya profit yotlhe ba ya go tlhabolola kwa ba tswang teng mme tota ba duetswe ka makgetho a Batswana.

Ke botse gore conversation ga e ise e simolole?


Ke a itse gore molao o a letla ka gore foreign exchange controls were abolished in 1999, I am very much alive to that fact.

Jaanong ke botsa gore a mme ga le ise le nne le conversation ya gore tota mme go ka tweng gore ba ba duetsweng ka madi a a kanakana a makgetho a Batswana, gongwe go ka nna le gone gore ba beeletse bontlha bongwe jwa madi ao, ba dire ditiro mo lefatsheng la Botswana?

MS SERAME: Thank you Mr Speaker, ke a leboga Honourable Keorapetse.

Unfortunately, ga kena that information ya gore tota yone company e e tlile leng mo Botswana, ga ke a ka ka e batla.

E nngwe e ne e le gore, I do not have that table today, I think I can share it with the Honourable Member that information that we had compiled ya tse di kileng tsa nna blacklisted kwa World Bank jalojalo.

I will share it with you, but fa ke gakologelwa, e ne e seo mo teng.
I am not quite sure; I will have to double check.

The last one e a neng a e botsa Mr Speaker, o bua boammaaruri, ke kgang e e tshwenyang ba le bantsi.

Ga se Mapalamente fela, even other general stakeholders including members of the public ya gore tota mme companies tse di tlang mo Botswana di dira madi, tota mme are they doing enough for us as an economy.
Ke sone se o bonang Honourable Member re na le ditsetlana tse di patikang gore e re fa ba dira tiro mono, go bo go na le some work that they reserve for citizen companies.

From time to time ke sengwe se re se lebelelang, re bo re re oketsa the percentages.
Mo go yone eo Honourable Member and Honourable Speaker, the unfortunate part ke gore fa gongwe le rona companies tsa rona tsa Batswana le fa go tilwe di filwe ditiro tse di ntseng jalo, le bone ba bo ba re pataganela le batho ba gore ba se ka ba dira mo go tshwanetseng, ke gore ba ema golo gongwe mo tseleng.

E bo companies tsa rona le tsone di sa re thuse gore re kgone go ba tseela dikgato tse di gagametseng.
In addition, Mr Speaker, dikgang tse dingwe tse re di buisanang ke gore, kwa ntle ga gore go nne le exchange control, there are other ways tse re ka di dirang gore companies tse fa dile mo Botswana, re bone gor re ka dira jang gore le tsone di tsenye letsogo go feta jaaka ba tsenya mo itsholelong.

Ke dikgang tse re di buang, di tlaa tsenya rona re le Finance mo teng, di tsenya ministry wa bo Rre Kgafela mo teng le ba bangwe.

Ke dikgang tse re di buang malatsi otlhe.


That is why from time to time le lona le bona e re le fa re tla ka melao, jaaka wa maloba wa procurement o re neng re o fetisa fa mo Palamenteng, o ka gakologelwa gore one o simolola go oketsa seabe sa Batswana mo ditirong tsotlhe tsa Puso, le e mengwe e e leng teng Mr Speaker.

Ga ba dire jalo, mo go rayang gore ga ba oketse dikgwebo tsa bone, ga ba hire.
Fa ba sa hire, se se bolaya se ke reng ke ntlha ya konokono, the priority of our priorities.

Fa re tsena mo go tse di mo Budget Speech ya gompieno, ke batla go itsise Tona Serame gore ke ntsha megopolo gone jaana gore dilo dingwe a di fetole mo nakong ya gompieno.

Ga ke itse lefatshe lepe le le ka emelelang la re, re na le dingwaga di feta masome a matlhano re ipusa, mme re palelwa fela ke maintenance, go ipaakanyetsa fa go senyegileng teng.
Jaanong a re reye Batswana fela re re, ‘ke yo P3 billion o mo tafoleng ke wa maintenance, ga le seke le ope, gaisanang ka bolona le itekeng re bone gore a re ka kgona to maintain.’ Number two; A1 dual carriageway, ke dumela gore boradikonteraka ba Batswana, ke yone nako ya gore re ba fe sebaka.

Jaanong ke kopa gore o itlame Tona Serame mo phetolong ya gago gore o a e amogela tshutiso e e bile o tlaa e diragatsa.

DR DOW (SPECIALLY ELECTED): Tanki Mr Speaker for calling on me.

It gives me great pleasure; it is an honour for me to be supporting the Minister.

Mr Speaker, I start by congratulating the Minister for the speech and for being the first woman to actually deliver the Budget Speech in this country.

I congratulate her and I give her my support.

Mr Speaker let me start by stating the obvious, this is a Bill that we wish to pass into law.
Let me start also by dealing with an issue that was raised by the Minister herself.

She addressed the issue of corruption and she called it “the elephant in the room.” Mr Speaker, I think we all know that while Parliament makes laws, it is the Executive that implements the laws.

Therefore, we will be looking to her; the Minister and the Executive to make sure that this particular law is actually comprising.

Mr Speaker, the question is; what is in place to punish wilful breakers of this particular law?
I digress Mr Speaker, to refer to the case of Bluthorn, it comes to mind.

I am not suggesting Mr Speaker, that corruption has taken place; no!

I am only suggesting that it would appear that monies voted by the Legislature may have been used in breach of the law.

One assumes that the money invested was voted for particular projects and programmes by Parliament.

The question Mr Speaker is, where did the authority to invest this money comes from?
I raise this to suggest that perhaps a Commission of Inquiry is called for in that particular case, so that we can understand, and that those things do not happen in future, assuming wrongdoing happened.

I am not saying that it did, but I am saying when Parliament passes the Budget, what it is doing is actually passing a law and therefore, it must be obeyed.
That is why when there is an audit, the auditor looks at what was the money voted for, what was it used for, was it used for the purpose for which Parliament passed it?

I pass this particular question Mr Speaker.

Mr Speaker, we are in a pandemic and the question that comes to mind is; how is this Budget placing money in the hands of Batswana?

I note that it does that in various ways.

I note the initiatives around Public Private Partnerships (PPPs).
I note the plans for maintenance and infrastructure projects.

Indeed, we expect that these projects will create jobs and place money in the hands of Batswana.

That is commendable and I really do hope that in time, we see that actually happening, and the usual delays in implementation of projects and programmes do not undermine this very noble gesture.

18 Hansard No 205Wednesday 9th February, 2022APPROPRIATION (2022/2023) BILL, 2022 (NO.
2 OF 2022) Second Reading (Resumed Debate) I am concerned Mr Speaker, that we need private sector support, we need Government support for small businesses in the private sector.

I note at Paragraph 63 Mr Speaker, that the proposal is reduced subventions to commercial State Owned Enterprises (SOEs).
I understand that, but I really do hope that amongst these would not be Citizen Entrepreneurial Development Agency (CEDA), National Development Bank (NDB), maybe Botswana Housing Corporation (BHC) as well because these are enterprises that actually do place some money in the hands of Batswana.

Last year was tough for businesses.

CEDA, NDB and even BHC need money so that we can actually have projects on the ground.
At the end of the day, only when money circulates, we see that there is going to be real livelihood changes at the ground level.

Mr Speaker, I note at Paragraph 64 that the proposal is to reduce support grants to local authorities.

I am concerned Mr Speaker, because during this past year, these authorities had very little beyond just to cover salaries.

So this reduction which I understand, must be accompanied by revenue raising programmes.
We expect Mr Speaker, to hear more from the relevant ministries on how this is going to be achieved?

How will they promote revenue generation at local level?

Mr Speaker, the Minister also talks about service delivery reforms; again commendable.

I want to suggest to the Minister; that they look to other sectors as well, such as health and education, there is room for PPPs in these service sectors Mr Speaker.
I suggest a radical something, the closure or at least the scaling down of the Central Medical Stores (CMS) and let pharmacies fill prescriptions.

That is happening in other countries as well because if you do that, I believe there will be more efficiency, effectiveness and of course there can be negotiated service fees or caps as to how much can be taken to the private sector.
If you do that, you will find that Mr Speaker… I think what is happening right now in hospitals across the country, there is limited supply of medication.

I suggest Mr Speaker, that the Government negotiate service fees with private hospitals and schools.

Councils are already doing that with trash collection.
I think it is sad Mr Speaker, that you can see at Princess Marina Hospital for example, people waiting for two to three days in the emergency room, waiting to be seen by doctors when across the street, we may have a private hospital that actually has nobody waiting in the waiting room.

I believe at the end of the day, the Government will be paying for this health service.

I think if we also look at public schools Mr Speaker, because of the pandemic, we had a situation where we have the double shift.
On the other hand, you may find that there are actually spaces in private schools.

I think Government can ask themselves; what is the unit cost of taking care of a 65 year-old with diabetes and therefore, can I pay that cost at a private facility?

What is the unit cost of educating a 16 year-old, can I pay that to a private facility?

You will still be paying the same thing, the same Motswana child but at least we will make sure that we are using PPPs.
Let us go beyond just construction projects for PPPs Mr Speaker.

Mr Speaker, I have said this before, selling a single cow in this country is just drama.

That is just… I do not understand.

Cars, phones, movable goods get stolen all the time but you will not get this convoluted process of just selling a single cow.

I again call upon the Minister of Agriculture to look into this if we are talking about reform of service delivery.
Mr Speaker, at Paragraph 59, the Minister talks about revenue mobilisation; great idea.

I want to suggest that we should also be talking about revenue mobilisation, not just for the Government in power, that is the State as we are but also those who want to go into Government.

We must pass legislation Mr Speaker, just before the next elections that prohibits external financial support of political parties and/or elections.
The current situation Mr Speaker, is putting this country at the risk of being bought by the highest bidder.

I think it is important that we ask ourselves; where did we get the money to get into power?

Where do we get the money to oppose those who are in power?

Where did we get money to run for elections?

It must come from within the country and not be imported.

That is my proposal Mr Speaker.

HONOURABLE MEMBER: Clarification.

DR DOW: Mr Speaker, I yield.

MR KEORAPETSE: Clarification.

Yo o ...(Interruptions)... ke political party funding.
I do believe it is high time, I agree with you, that we have a law that actually regulates political party funding where part of the money comes from the State.

Fa o bua ka gore go ka pala eng gore batho ba tsenye party mo pateng, we are supposed to have a law which actually regulates how you account at the end of elections.

The question is whether or not that particularly, are we using it properly and effectively?
At the end of the day, I would rather o tsenngwe mo pateng ke mogwebi wa mo gae, go na le motho a le kwa Serbia or Japan.

I hope I have answered my friend Mr Speaker.

Mr Speaker, the last issue I want to raise relates to gender sensitive budgeting.

I hope that when the Minister for Immigration and Gender Affairs come on board, she will demonstrate how she has been able to influence the budgeting of the Minister to make it more gender sensitive.

What does that mean?


Gender sensitive budgeting Mr Speaker, means looking at even things like what businesses are women in, and what are the rules and regulation that are actually undermining those businesses.

I often give this simple example.

I am not in a particular business, but councils across this country, even during the pandemic, were insisting that kindergartens like preschools have all these very sophisticated and very expensive resources.
The child must play under a covered tab, a tree is not enough; all these things, even during pandemic.

I think the Minister must step up and say no, you are closing small businesses that are owned by women, let us support women.

A woman cannot take their child to a day care, a woman cannot work.

If she cannot work, then the child is going to starve.

So we know as a matter of fact that many homes in this country are a female headed.

So, can we look at that.


What does it mean to say gender sensitive budgeting; many farms are away from big villages or from big communities.

Women cannot work there because they have their kids at home.

Can we have gender sensitivity budgeting and planning that makes sure that we promote small kindergartens on farms for example, so that women can actually take their under-five child with them when they go to work.

That is gender sensitive budgeting.


Again if you talk about hospitals, police stations, healthcare services; are the services gender sensitive?

Again, I will be waiting for the Minister of Immigration to come and also show how she has looked at her budget and how she is responding to it in terms of making sure that the needs of women or gender issues are addressed.

The last issue Mr Speaker, is a comment about good laws, good institution and good people.
I have to say that for many years as a lawyer, I have a belief that all we need is good laws, good institutions, and everything was going to be in place.

I do not believe that anymore, I do believe Mr Speaker, that we also need good people and good culture.

That is why yesterday somebody asked the Minister whether she is bringing our family-touch to the ministry.

I want to suggest that she is bringing a culture.


I do not want to call it a family-touch … (Inaudible) … I think each one of us brings our culture to the table.

Are you brutish, violent, arrogant, empathetic; those are the values that we bring to any table.

I do believe that also you bring the culture of your own grouping, your own community.
The Minister is a woman and therefore, in this culture where most women are the naturals, the caregiver; most women are almost like the soul of the family in terms of directing young children, she does bring that culture to that table; the culture of empathy, caring, sympathy and integrity.

I do hope and believe that that is the culture that she brings.
That is not to say that the male culture is not important, what we are asking for is that as long as 50 per cent of those at the table are men, then of course we will have, but we need to move forward.
With that Mr Speaker, I want to end by saying, again going back to the issue of this particular law, that Mr Speaker, we will know that this law which is about the carving of the national cake, we will know that it is working for everybody if there is equality before the law, accountability, fairness in the application of the law; that there is legal certainty about the law, there is avoidance of arbitrariness and there is procedures and legal transparency.
Often we say somebody has the power, and often we forget that having the power to be somebody is not enough, there is also the procedure of now exercising the power.

That is where really the Executive comes in; the procedures and the process of implementing the power that they have.

With that Mr Speaker, I support the Minister.

Thank you.

Fa gongwe jaanong re a ipofa re le Puso go dira ditiro, batho ba teng ba tshwere tiro ga e tsamaye, ba goga dinao, tiro ga e tsamaye.

At the end of it, go supiwa ka monwana Puso e e teng gompieno, gore you have not delivered on the promises you have made.
All these changes, transformation and rationalisation e e dirwang re tshwanetse ra lebelela.

Ke lebogela gore gongwe molao wa PPADB jaaka o tlaabo o fetolwa, o tlaa tla o thusa to push implementation, gore re tle re kgone go isa ditirelo kwa Batswaneng, re tle re kgone go direla Motswana jaaka 23 Hansard No 205Wednesday 9th February, 2022APPROPRIATION (2022/2023) BILL, 2022 (NO.

This was from the 4th of January to the 7th of July 2007.

No matter why, her marvellous as well as absolute performance at the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development.

She has absolutely done very well.


May the creator of heaven and earth continue to gracefully lead you Honourable Minister in ensuring that your sterling work pertaining to the reconciliations of the debits and credits of this great Republic of Botswana be arithmetically, as well as economically prepared to throw away the projected deficits of P18.4 billion in favour of an overall credit balance.

Ke eletsa gore ke supe gape fa go Paragraph 18 e e supang gore re batla go dira a vaccine manufacturing plant.

Ke lebogela seo go menagane thata Tona.

Ke se lebogela go menagane thata ka gore re itshupile gore re a kgona re le Batswana.
Re na le Botswana Vaccine Institute (BVI) e e kgonang e e bileng e rekisa le mo lefatsheng ka bophara.

Ga gona gope fa re kileng ra palelwa (failed) teng.

Sone se fela se se re bontsha gore le gone fa re ka kgona, bogolo jang re lebile gore le ditiro jaanong re tlaabo re tla go di tlhama (create) re direla bana ba rona ditiro jaaka e bile o tlaa fitlhela gone kwa BVI gantsinyana ba ntse ba eteletswe ke bana ba Batswana, ba ba rutilweng ke Batswana.
Ba ba rutilweng ke Puso e e busang e. Mo go supang gore fa re ka dira this plant ya se ka ya nna mokwalo fela e ka tla go re berekela, e ka re thusa.

Le kwa mafatsheng a mangwe re ka rekisa teng, ra nna le letseno la madi.

Ke eletsa gore ke supe ke ropame fela gore ke lebogela thata gore mo kabong ya gago ya madi o bo o tsere Lephata la Botsogo wa le eteletsa kwa pele.
O le eteletsa kwa pele ka mabaka a ke dumelang gore mongwe le mongwe o a bona, e bile mongwe le mongwe o a utlwile, o kgonne go bona gore hei!

fa e le gore maphata a ne a tlhasetswe, le le neng le tlhasetswe go feta maphata otlhe ke la botsogo.

It was deserving tota gore mo bogompienong Lephata le la Botsogo e bo e le lone le le tsereng share-nyana e e botoka go feta maphata a mangwe.
I know gore ga go enough, mme go botoka fa e le lone le leng kwa godimo, ka gore tota botshelo jwa motho ke jone jo bo tlang pele.

Bogolo jang jaaka re tswa mo segajajeng, se re iseng re tswe tota mo go sone, go supagala gore e ne e le bolwetse fela jo bo tlang bo tlhoafetse bo sa batle motho a bo a tshela.

Jaanong fa re tsaya lephata le tshwana le le re le isa kwa mankalenkaleng, ke dumela gore le tlaa ya go leka go thiba diphatlha tse dintsi thata.
Le gompieno fela fa o tsamaya mo clinics, majority of them tse di kwa Kgaolong ya Takatokwane ga di mo seemong se se kgatlhisang.

Se se utlwisang botlhoko le go feta ke gore, ga go na clinic epe e o ka tsenang mo go yone wa fitlhela e na le melemo fela e e tshwanetseng gore e bo e le teng.

Even if you can go to Molepolole…ke ne ke le kwa Molepolole last time, ke tabogile le clinics tse tsotlhe go fitlhelele ke bo ke itlhoboge ke ye kwa chemist ke ye go ithekela dipilisi.
O bo o ipotsa gore ke ba le kae ba ba ka kgonang gore e re fa ba sa kgone go bona what he was prescribed by ngaka a ye go se ithekela.

Ke sone se ke reng, ke leboga thata gore ke bo ke bona lephata le la ga “moalafi re mmone” le beilwe kwa setlhoeng, ka gore tota ke lone le le tshwereng botshelo.

Botshelo bo tla pele, ke gone o bo o simolola o akanya ka tse dingwe gore jaanong o ka ya go di dira ka tsela e e ntseng jang.
Ke eletsa gore fa e ne e le nna yo ke dirang ka fa go tshwanetseng ka teng, ke ka bo ke supile gore lephata le ke neng ke eletsa gore gongwe le ka bo le tsere share ya bobedi e ka bo e nnile la temothuo.

Ke lebile gore temothuo fa ke e lebelela ke yone fela e e ka re tsenyetsang ditiro tse dintsi thata go feta maphata a mangwe.

Maphata a ka tsenya ditiro, but temothuo e ka re hirela babereki ba le bantsi go feta maphata a mangwe.
Sa bobedi, temothuo fa re ka e dira ka fa re tshwanetseng gore re e dire ka teng, ke dumela gore e ka re direla le letseno ka gore re ka tswala le melolwane.

Madi a a ntseng a tswa mo gae, a tswela kwa ntle, re ka tswala melolwane jaanong madi ao a nna mo gae.

Fa e le sengwe at least le rona ra ntsha re tsenya madi mo teng.

Temothuo gape ke yone mokwatla gape o ke dumelang gore ke wa itsholelo.

Ke sone se gotweng temo le thuo, di tsamaya mmogo.


Bogolo jang fa o ya kwa dikgaolong tse di tshwanang le tsa bo Leuwe, re tshela ka yone temo le thuo.

Ga go na factories tse di tonatona tse gongwe o ka akanyang gore batho ba ka ya go hirwa koo.

Mme fa e le masimo, o tsaya sekai fela jaaka masimo a a mo kgaolong ya me a a kwa Phuduhudu, fa o ka ya teng nako ya ditemo jaana o a go fitlhela go hirilwe batho ba ba fetang gongwe bo 500.
Mo go rayang gore fa e ne e le gore re e dira ka fa go tshwanetseng ka teng gongwe le gongwe, tota fela kwa dikgaolong ke yone e e neng e ka re solegela molemo le go feta sengwe le sengwe.

Barutabana ba ba bidiwang gotwe temporary teachers, those are trained teachers.
Ke barutabana that are trained, ba feditse kwa sekoleng.

Pharologanyo ya bone le ba bangwe fela ke gore, bone ba hirilwe mo go permanent, but they trained golo go le gongwe fela, ba tshwana fela.

Jaanong go ba kgoba marapo, le go dirisa ditsompelo ba tswa kwa Mahalapye ba ya Takatokwane, mme a le there for three months.
Nako ga e a goroga for us to phase out, jaanong bana ba tota re ba tsenye, at least fa gotwe go padile o mo fe temp ya ngwaga?

Ke a leboga gore o bo o mphile Tona.

MR LEUWE: Thank you and I receive gore o bo o re, “Tona” Honourable Boko, le fa ke se Tona.

Ke dumalana le wena, le bone tota ba ba dirang temp ga go ba beye sentle, kamoso o tsere bolaonyana jwa gagwe o ya kwa bo senyega, kamoso o ya kwa.

Gongwe e oketsege fa e le sengwe fa e le gore ke temp.
Tota fa go ne go kgonagala, ka gore batho bao are well trained, e ne e le gore ba hirwe tota permanently, ba tle ba dire tiro ka botswapelo.

Le botshelo jwa bone running it jaanong ba itse gore le dibanka fa ba ya kwa go tsone ba adima madi di ka ba thusa, di itse gore ga ba temporary.

Ke eletsa gore ke kgobakgobe, ke supe gore tse ke neng ke di bua tseo ke tse ke dumalanang le wena ka boteng jwa pelo ya me, ke dumalana le pego ya gago.
Tumelo ya me ke gore, kwa ntleng ga tseo tse di amang lefatshe lotlhe, pego e nna kwa Kgaolong ya me ya Takatokwane ga e a ntsholela sepe, kwa ntleng ga tse ke neng ke di ama, di ama lefatshe lotlhe.

Kwa Kgaolong ya me ya Takatokwane ga e a ntsholela sepe, ga e a tsholela ba Takatokwane sepe, ka gore fa e ntse e tswelela e ne e supa gore go a go dirwa ditsela.

Ga ke na bothata jwa gore tsela e e tswang kwa Ramatlabama e ya kwa Ramokgwebana e pataganngwe e nne gane.
Mme tumelo ya ga Motlotlegi Leuwe ke gore, cake e re nang le yone e, a mongwe le mongwe a nne le serwenyana mo teng se se kae, e seng mo e leng gore serwe sa teng go ya ka nna le ka fa ke utlwang le bagaetsho ba leba ka teng se ganelela mo botlhaba.

Serwe sotlhe fela sa cake e go lebega se ganelela mo botlhaba.
Ke gore fa go a go tsena kwa Kgaolong e e tshwanang Takatokwane, ke gone re kgonang gore re utlwe ditlhaloso tsa gore madi ga a yo, COVID e rile jaana, a COVID e kwa kgaolong ya Takatokwane fela kana e ama lefatshe lotlhe?

Tumelo ya ga Motlotlegi Leuwe ke gore, COVID e re ama rotlhe mo lefatsheng.
Fa e le gore go diragala gore cake e nne nnyane, a mme le matlhasedi kana mafofora a yone bogolo, bogolo mafofora a a wele bo Takatokwane, mafofora fela at least, e se ka ya nna mo east fela, go bo go felela foo.

Ke sale ke bua ka ditsela tse di tshwanang tsa Letlhakeng- Kaudwane tse di dirisiwang le ke bajanala, di tsenyetsa lefatshe le madi.

Bogolo fa o ne o ka lebelela maloba jaaka go ne go le holidays tsa Christmas, o ne o ka bona gore tsela ele e tsenya madi, mme e botlhoko.
Re buile ka dikgang tsa clinics kwa go bo Ditshegwane, di ntshitswe ga di sa tlhole di le teng, ga di tshele.

Ke buile ka diofisi tse e seng tsa seemo sa gompieno mo Customary Courts tse di mo Kgaolong ya Takatokwane, ga go na sepe se se diragalang.

Kgang e nna gore madi ga a yo.

Bagaetsho a re se ka ra tloga ra jwala go kgaoganya…budget ya rona ya jwala go kgaoganya lefatshe ka dipuo tsa semorafe, ka gore re tlile go feleletsa jaanong re leba ka leitlho le e seng lone.
Mo ke sa go rotloetseng, mo e bileng ke sa eletseng gore go nne teng.

Fa e le gore dikgang di a go nna jaana, jaaka re solofediwa sepatela kwa Letlhakeng, se bo se nyelela o sa itse gore gatwe se tsene fa kae sepatela seo, but fa o tsamaya mo dikgaolong tse dingwe, ditlhabologo di ntse di tsweletse.

Ditsela di a dirwa, internal roads di a dirwa, dipatela di a dirwa.
Bagaetsho ga ke na maikaelelo a go utlwisa ope botlhoko, mme e bile ga ke na maikaelelo a go ngongoregela ope gore dilo tseo di bo di diragala kwa kgaolong ya ga ope.

Keletso ya me ke gore, let us be fair.
