Francistown South (Alliance for Progressives) TABLE OF CONTENTS THE SECOND MEETING OF THE THIRD SESSION OF THE TWELFTH PARLIAMENT WEDNESDAY 16th FEBRUARY, 2022 CONTENTS PAGE (S QUESTIONS FOR ORAL ANSWER..................................................................................................................1-9 QUESTION WITHOUT NOTICE....................................................................................................................10-11 GOVERNMENT BILL Appropriation (2022/2023) Bill, 2022 (No.
2 of 2022) Second Reading (Resumed Debate)................................................................................................................12-40 Wednesday 16th February, 2022 THE ASSEMBLY met at 2:00 p.m. (THE SPEAKER in the Chair) P R A Y E R S * * * * QUESTIONS FOR ORAL ANSWER SEWAGE FACILITIES AND DUMPING SITES IN THE NATA-GWETA CONSTITUENCY MR P. MAJAGA (NATA-GWETA): asked the Minister of Land Management, Water and Sanitation Services if he is aware of the deplorable state of sewage facilities and dumping sites in the Nata-Gweta Constituency; he should further state: (i) the impact of poor sanitation facilities on the environment, livestock and people; and (ii) the actions with timelines to remedy this situation.
MINISTER OF LAND MANAGEMENT, WATER AND SANITATION SERVICES (MR MZWINILA): Good afternoon Mr Speaker.

(i) Mr Speaker, my ministry is aware of the state of the sewerage facilities in Nata-Gweta Constituency.

The sewerage facilities operated by Water Utilities Corporation (WUC) in Nata-Gweta Constituency are Sowa Township sewage ponds and Gweta sewage ponds.
Both facilities are operating to the required standard, however the security fence for the two sewerage facilities has been vandalised by elephants, making it easy for cattle and wild animals to access the facilities therefore negatively impacting on environment, cattle and ultimately on people.
Disposal of sewage in the Nata-Gweta Constituency varies from village to village depending on the infrastructure development in an area, with most villages utilising WUC vacuum tanker services while in Sowa Township plots are connected to the sewerage pipeline.

Some villages dispose the sewage at Gweta sewage ponds while other villages, the sewage is taken to Tutume Sewerage ponds using the vacuum tankers.
One vacuum tanker is available to service Nata-Gweta Constituency and in cases of high volume of request, a second one is often taken from either Tutume or Masunga Service Centre to alleviate the situation.

(ii) WUC considered installation of elephant spikes to deter elephants from the facilities.
The installation of a new security fence together with elephant spikes at the wastewater ponds was planned for financial year 2021/22, however, procurement for elephant spikes at both Sowa and Gweta ponds stalled because the budgeted funds were too low compared to financial bids submitted by service providers.

WUC will consider implementing the project during the 2022/23 financial year subject to approval of the budgets by the board.

I thank you Mr Speaker.

MR MAJAGA: Supplementary.

NATIONAL VACCINE COMMITTEE (SEROWE SOUTH): asked MR L. LESEDI the Minister of Health and Wellness to update this Honourable House on the: 2 Hansard No 205Wednesday 16th February, 2022QUESTIONS FOR ORAL ANSWER (i) role of private sector in the vaccine deployment plan through its membership of the National Vaccine Committee; (ii) role of the National Vaccine Committee, who comprises this committee, when it was formed and its deliverables; (iii) mandate of the National Vaccine Committee vis-à- vis that of the Botswana Vaccine Institute (BVI); (iv) names of all individuals, strategic partners and companies that have assisted in the Vaccine rollout, logistics, distribution and procurement.
ASSISTANT MINISTER OF HEALTH AND WELLNESS (MR LELATISITSWE): Ke a leboga Mr Speaker.

The pandemic has a tremendous strain on Botswana’s main resources of revenue, and the country’s ability to sustain the high levels of expenditure on the pandemic was challenged.

It is in this light that the Government of Botswana sought strategic partners within the economy to finance procurement, as well as the rollout of COVID-19 vaccine.
Mr Speaker, this is the opportune moment to pay tribute to all individuals and companies who heeded to the call by His Excellency the President Dr Mokgweetsi Eric Keabetswe Masisi, for the support on Government’s effort to respond to COVID-19 pandemic.

Indeed Batswana and different organisations responded positively, and came forward to complement our noble effort.

Mr Speaker, the COVID-19 Vaccine Committee was established in January 2021.
The Committee was mandated to develop a national implementation strategy on COVID-19 vaccine, acquisitions and their deployment and to advice Government on the mutual engagement with any individual or companies that may wish to render support in this process.
The Committee Members Mr Speaker, comprised of COVID-19 Coordinating Team, Deputy Coordinating and Acting as the Chairperson, COVID-19 Coordinating Team Scientific Advisor, Director Public Health Services, Deputy Permanent Secretary, Health policy Research and Development, Deputy Secretary for Budget Administration Ministry of Finance and Development Planning, Deputy Permanent Secretary, Multilateral Diplomacy and Policy Analysis, Ministry of International Affairs and Cooperation, Deputy Permanent Secretary Information and Broadcasting, Office of the President, Deputy Permanent Secretary Governance and Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development.
That is the composition of the Committee.

The expected deliverables of the Committee included a plan kwa Botswana COVID-19 vaccine deployment with well defined recipients population, established and functional partnership between Government of Botswana and other partners.
Mr Speaker, as outlined above the COVID-19 Vaccine Committee was mandated to develop a national implementation strategy on COVID-19 vaccination, acquisition and their deployment while Botswana Vaccine Institute (BVI) was established to support livestock industry by manufacturing relevant vaccines and providing services to combat livestock diseases.
Mr Speaker, several partners representing public sector, private sector, civil society organisations and the deployment partners assisted in this vaccine rollout logistics, distribution and procurement.

I cannot provide names of individuals Mr Speaker, or strategic partners and companies that have assisted with the vaccine rollout logistic distribution and procurement, because all of these partners participated.

It is a long list Mr Speaker, that the Honourable Member can be given a copy if he wish so.
Thank you Mr Speaker.

Jaanong potso ya me e tona ke gore a Goromente o santse a a fa UB madi to support its operations?
Fa go ntse jalo, a ga a bone golo moo go fenya maikaelelo a 6 Hansard No 205Wednesday 16th February, 2022QUESTIONS FOR ORAL ANSWER gore universities di ikemele ka dinao jaaka tse dingwe tsa private sector?

A ga a bone golo moo go o fa UB an unfair advantage in the context of our policy?

Thank you.

DR LETSHOLATHEBE: Thank you very much Mr Speaker.


Indeed, Motlotlegi Matsheka, private sector- led economy gore re thuse private sector e re etelele pele mo sengwe le sengweng including education, ke se le rona kwa ministry wa rona re dumalanang le sone.

Gongwe ke re baithuti jaaka o ne o bua ka the numbers gore go supa gore ba le bantsintsi ba kwa UB, go kile ga bo go dirisiwa se gotweng quotas.
E ne e le gore kwa tshimologong ya ngwaga Minister le ba bangwe mo ministry ba tla ba nna ba kgobokanaya bana gotwe ba le 20 ba ya kwa Limkokwing, 20 ba ya kwa university and I do not think it was fair.

Se re tshwanetseng gore re se gakologelwe ke gore ga se gore madi ale ba a fiwa tsaya tanki.

Bontsi jwa one ke loans kana madi a bone.

So, we have decided in the past few years gore re ba tlogele ba itirele choice ya gore ba batla go tsena kae.
Go a diragala gore ba tlhophe (choose) university nngwe go nale e nngwe mme tota ga gona gore re ka ba patika jang but we are supporting the private sector.

Re na le bone re a ba thusa gore ba gole.

Automatically, fa go ntse go tsweletse ba tlaa tsena mo seemong se e leng gore baithuti will prefer them.

Fa o ya kwa mafatsheng le bo China le India, dikole tsa private sector ke tsone tse di eteletseng kwa pele e bile baithuti prefer tsone go nale tsa ga Goromente.
Kgang ya subvention, yes, we still give the UB subvention e bile ke tsaya gore e a tlhaela; we could give them more.

The way things change mo malatsinyaneng a, ka fa technology e fetogang ka teng, we need to just pull and support them gore ba tsene mo level e ba ka ikemelang ka nosi and attract international students and others.

Ke ka jalo re batlang gore re ba tlogele mme for now Rre Matsheka, ke tsaya gore madi a teng a ba a tlhokang a a re fetang re a ba neela.

Honourable Lucas, Member for Bobonong.
GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT MR T. B. LUCAS (BOBONONG): asked the Minister of Investment, Trade and Industry to state: (i) the contribution of the manufacturing sector to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the following years; 1980, 1990, 2000, 2010 and 2020; (ii) the targeted contribution of the sector to the economy in each year; (iii) how the performance of the manufacturing sector has affected; (a) the country’s import bill; (b) levels of employment; (c) levels of industrialisation; and (iv) specific and new steps being undertaken to bolster the growth of the manufacturing sector in general and specifically in rural areas.
ACTING MINISTER OF INVESTMENT, TRADE AND INDUSTRY (MS SERAME): Thank you Mr Speaker, good afternoon.

Ke kopa go se ka ke tshuba video Mr Speaker.

(i) Mr Speaker, according to Statistics Botswana and the World Bank reports, the contribution of the manufacturing sector to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was 4.4 per cent in 1980; 4.9 per cent in 1990; 7.5 per cent in 2000; 8.5 per cent in 2010; and 5.7 per cent in 2020.
The average contribution of the manufacturing sector to GDP for the period 7 Hansard No 205Wednesday 16th February, 2022QUESTIONS FOR ORAL ANSWER 1994 to 2020, according to the most recent data series published by Statistics Botswana, was 7.3 per cent.

(ii) Mr Speaker, even though in the earlier years the ministry did not set targets for the contribution of the manufacturing sector to GDP, in 2019, the ministry set a yearly target of 7 per cent for the period 2019 to 2036.
(iii) In terms of performance of the manufacturing sector: (a) The manufacturing sector has helped to reduce the import bill.

In 2020, imports of manufactured items totaled P41 Billion, while domestic production of manufactured items was just under P10 Billion.

Hence the manufacturing sector reduced the import bill as many domestically produced goods would otherwise have been imported.
(b) Mr Speaker, according to Statistics Botswana Formal Employment Sector Statistics, the ratio of employment for the manufacturing sector to total formal employment was 6.7 per cent in 1980, 8.5 per cent in 1990, 11.2 per cent in 2000, and 10.2 per cent in 2010.
In 2020, manufacturing accounted for 7.7 per cent of formal employment according to the new Quarterly Multi-topic Household Survey, which uses a different methodology to the old formal employment survey and hence the results are not directly comparable.

Nevertheless, these results show that manufacturing is relatively labour intensive, and accounts for a larger share of employment than of GDP.
(c) Mr Speaker, the Industrial Development Policy of 2014 broadly defines industrialisation to include manufacturing and services.

While in proportional terms the contribution of the manufacturing sector to GDP has remained constant over time, in absolute terms, the manufacturing sector has been growing.

Over the period 1994, to 2020, manufacturing grew in real terms by 4 per cent a year on average, compared to 3.5 per cent a year for GDP as a whole.
(iv) Mr Speaker, finally Government has undertaken the following steps to bolster growth of the sector: (1) Prioritized value chain development to unlock to promote citizen economic opportunities empowerment.

The initial sectors of focus include minerals, tourism, food and education; and this also includes funding of enterprises in the prioritised sectors.
(2) Development of Special Economic Zones (SEZ) such as the Pandamatenga focusing on agricultural production including agro-processing; (3) Imposition of import restrictions for commodities such as bottled water, salt, baked goods and school uniform which has resulted in increased production of these products within the country; (4) Through the Botswana Investment and Trade Centre (BITC), attracting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into export-oriented manufacturing; (5) In addition, for the rural areas, the Local Economic Development (LED) Programme is being implemented by the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development specifically targeting the growth of industries in the rural areas.
I thank you Mr Speaker.

MR LUCAS: Supplementary Mr Speaker.

Goromente ga a ka ke a emelwa and defended by a pseudo account.

A legitimate and responsible Government cannot be defended by a pseudo account.
It cannot be commended by a pseudo account ka ditsela tse re di bonang tsa ga France Museveni.

Ke boela kwa kgaolong ya me jaanong Mr Speaker.
Ke emetse kgaolo ya Okavango, kgaolo e e leng gore e rile budget e sena go balwa go ntse go lelediwa (phone) radio stations, Rre mongwe o bidiwa Salepito kwa Gumare a botsa potso gore, “naa re rona batho ba Okavango, Goromente wa rona o tlaa tswa kae?” Where will our Government come from fa e le gore budget e re neng re solofetse mo go yone gore this time around re tlile go bolelelwa gore tsela ya rona e ntsheditswe bo kana go diriwa go bo go sa buiwa sepe ka yone go buiwa ka Public Private Partnership (PPP)?

Re batla gore e re budget e e ya go wela, le re bolelele jaaka Honourable Saleshando o ne a botsa Tautona kwa Maun gore, fa o ntse o re madi a tsela e a etla, o raya leng?

That is the biggest question.

That is the question e batho ba Okavango ba batla e arabiwa ka gore tsela e Mr Speaker, e kgamile kgaolo ya rona.

Gompieno jaana sepatela sa J. P. Kavindama ga se a bulwa mme fa o botsa, at the centre of why this hospital e sa bulwa, ke tsela.

Fa batho ba tla kwa Shakawe ba bona underdevelopment, poelo morago kana kgaolo e e saletseng kwa morago e e latlheletsweng ke Goromente yo o tshwanetseng gore a ka bo a e tlhabolola.

That is why ba botsa gore wa rona Goromente o o tla re ntshetsang madi mo budget ya gore ditlhabololo di dirwe mo kgaolong ya rona, o tlaa tswa kae?

Ke batla go ba raya ke re Goromente o ba mmatlang o tlaa tswa mo tlhophong ka gore go a buiwa gatwe you will get the Government that you deserve.
You deserve such government ka fa o tlhophang ka teng.

Tsela e ya Okavango ya rona e e suleng go feta le lone leso e itsa le yone clinic kwa Beetsha, go agilwe clinic fela ya maemo a a kwa godimo, ya seemo se se kwa godimo mme ga gona le fa e le ngaka mo teng.

Batho ba ba ka bong ba ya go berekela teng ba gana go ya teng because fa ba leba ba bona underdevelopment.

That is why ba botsa gore wa rona Goromente o ya go tswa kae ka gore yo go lebega e le gore ga a re tsholela sepe?

Wa rona Goromente o ya go tswa kae?

2 OF 2022) Second Reading (Resumed Debate) Fa ke bua jaana Mr Speaker, kgaolo fela e tona e e tshwanang le Boseja jwa Okavango or Okavango East, stretching from Mohembo East to Gudigwa, ga se metse fa gare foo e bolaya motho mme ngaka ya yone e nngwefela, fela.

There is only one single doctor in that whole area.

The nearest doctor to them ke yo o kwa Shakawe which is more than 160 kilometres go tswa kwa Gudigwa.

Motaosane ene o lucky ka gore he is just 25 kilometres away from Gaborone.
Ga ke itse gore o bokgakala jo bo kae go tswa kwa Molepolole kwa e leng gore dingaka di dintsintsi fela.

Ke bua ka batho ba e leng gore they are 160 kilometres away to the nearest doctor from Gudigwa.

Go bo gotwe fa motho a sule a tsewe gone koo a isiwe kwa Shakawe to certify gore nnyaa, motho yo ka nnete o tlhokafatse.

Goromente yo o senang pelo tlhomogi; no compassion, ke ene o o ka bayang ditsamaiso tse di ntseng jalo a bo a iphitlha ka molao.
Mr Speaker, seemo sa tsela ya rona se tshwana le mo gotweng a spider web; it affects sengwe le sengwe.

Fa re bua jaana maduo a dikole tsa Okavango le seemo sa tsone fela or the infrastructure is in very, very poor condition.

Fa o bua ka dikole tse di tshwanang le Ngambao le Gowa, di balelwa in the lowest wry of performers and it is a clear reason.

Who goes and teaches in such an underdeveloped area e e leng gore ga e na sekontere after 56 years of independence?

Ga gona tsela teng.
Ga gona tsela teng.

What do you expect from people who are posted there Mr Speaker?

What do you expect from batho ba ba nnang teng?

Bontsi jwa bone fa ba iteba Mr Speaker, ba ipona as second class citizens.

That is why ba bitsa dikgaolo tse dingwe tsa Botswana tse di kwa borwa le tse di kwa botlhaba ba re ke gone kwa Botswana ka gore bone fa ba itebile ba ipotsa gore wa rona Goromente o tlaa tswa kae?
Bana ba kwa Mokgacha, Kajaja, Eretsha, Xhauga le Shaikarawe fa ba tsena mo sekoleng sa letlhaka everyday e le their lived reality, ba ipotsa gore wa rona Goromente o tlaa tswa kae yo o tlaa re agelang classrooms tse di tshwanang le tsa mafelo a mangwe mo Botswana, who will recognise gore re Batswana jaaka Batswana ba bangwe?

Fa o bua ka digitisation jaaka ke ne ke botsa the Assistant Minister wa Local Government gompieno gore mo letlhakeng o ka tsenya maranyane a eng ka fa o bua ka Forth Industrial Revolution, a knowledge-based economy?

What digitisation can you put mo letlhakeng?

Gompieno jaana re bua e le gore dikole tsa teng di a tlharabologa, go a gasama ka gore the materials are not durable.

Mr Speaker, ke a feta.

Kgaolo ya me, because of the road is characterised by failing projects.
Re na le projects tse pedi tse ditona tse di ka bong di sa bolo go fela; e le clinic ya Kauxwi, clinic ya Ngarange le maintenance project which was budgeted kwa Ngambao.

All those projects have failed in different ways, mme they failed ka gore ga go na tsela e e isang ditirelo kwa Kgaolong ya Okavango.

Ke bua ka motlakase Mr Speaker.

Mo nakong ya gompieno motho yo o tshelang a sena motlakase mo motseng wa gagwe o tshela botshelo jo bo saletseng kwa morago.
Mme mo Kgaolong ya Okavango re na le metse fela e megolwane, e e inelang fela ga go na selo se gotweng motlakase.

Ke go fe sekai sa Mohembo East, kwa go agilweng borogo jwa maemo a a kwa godimo, jo e leng gore gompieno jaana fa bo tsamayang teng go tsentswe street lights.

Batho ba Mohembo East ba a go bonela motlakase, lesedi kwa borogong.
Mo motseng wa bone go tsentswe megala ya motlakase, mme company ya Botswana Power Corporation (BPC) e idiwa go ba tsenyetsa motlakase ka gore gatwe it is not a recognised settlement.

Ke kgang e ke setseng e bile ka e baya fa pele ga bo Tona ba e ba lebaganeng, e leng Tona wa motlakase Honourable Lefoko Moagi le Tona wa Ditsha Honourable Kefentse Mzwinila.

Ga ba ka ke ba ganetsa ka gore ke buile le bone matlho a phage a lebane, le gone e se gangwe fela, but twice.

Metse ya rona ga e na motlakase; Chukumuchu ga a na motlakase, Ngaungau ke motse fela o motona, ga o na motlakase, Gani ga o na motlakase.
Tsodilo, o e leng gore it is situated next to a world heritage site, a site that promotes Botswana internationally, ga go na motlakase mo teng.

Mme re bua gore we are taking Botswana forward.

Ga ke itse gore ke Botswana ofe, ka gore batho ba Okavango ba ipotsa gore wa bone Goromente o tlaa tswa kae?

Ke bua ka land allocation Mr Speaker, Okavango ke Kgaolo e e nang le lefatshe le le ntle thata, le le elediwang ke batho ba le bantsi.
Mme lefatshe le le ntse le na le beng ba lone ba ba ntseng ba nna mo go lone.

Gompieno fa ba kopa mafatshe a ba neng ba nna mo go one, mo gotweng matlotla, ba a a timiwa gatwe, nnyaa ga go na bosupi fa jo bo supang gore motho o kile a nna fa.

Selo seo ke go amoga batho ba Okavango ditsabone, tse di neng di ka ba baya mo seemong sa gore le bone kamoso ba bonwe e le batho ba ba nang le se ba nang le sone.
Ke a feta ke tsena kwa Botswana Defence Force (BDF) deployment.

Ke batla gore ke akgole gore at long last re isitse masole a rona kwa Mozambique go a go tsenya letsogo mo go sireletseng a fellow Southern African Development Community (SADC) country.

Selo se ke se tiro ya sesole e leng sone, military duties.
Ke a itse gore re latlhegetswe ke masole a le mabedi so far, mme ke tseye motsotso o to express my condolences to the latest loss mo batsading le ba lesika, gore bagaetsho le itse gore motho yo o latlhegetswe ke botshelo a le mo tirong ya setšhaba, le se ka la utlwa botlhoko mo go feteletseng.

Ke fete Mr Speaker ke re, Okavango ke Kgaolo e e dirisanang thata le kgaolo ya Kavango mo Namibia, mo gotweng Zambezi Region.
Jaanong e sale go tsena COVID restrictions tse di tsentsweng, di nnile bokete thata mo bathong bagaetsho go ya kwa dipateleng tse ba neng ba tlwaetse go bona dithuso teng.

Selo se ke se se tswang kgakala from pre-independence, gore batho ba kgaolo e ba ne ba bona bongaka kwa Sepateleng sa Andara.
Le gompieno ke sepatela se ba se ikantseng, but ka mabaka a gore go bokete jaanong go ya kwa Namibia le go boa, madi a a batliwang go tlolela teng, le sebaka se o se beelwang gore o bo o boile ka bofefo, fa e se jalo o tlile go boa o duela madi a test gape, go imetsa matshelo a batho ba Okavango.

Ga ba kgone go ya dintshong tsa masika a bone ka kwa lefatsheng la Namibia ka ntata ya restrictions tse di leng teng tse Mr Speaker.
Ke bua jaana gore, ke nako ya gore Goromente a sekaseke sesha in the light of the developments that have taken place and the reduction of the disease burden.

Ke nako ya gore Goromente a fokotse restrictions, so that people can travel and travel inexpensively.

MR KAPINGA: Thank you Mr Speaker.


This becomes even more real, because go lebega e le gore Goromente ga a na maikaelelo, there is no will ya gore Goromente a ntshetse project ya Kgomokgwana madi gore quarantine eo e agiwe sesha, Goromente ga a na maikaelelo a gore a ntshetse project eo madi.
Mr Speaker, I made enquiries from this ministry, ke batla go itse gore since the Minister committed himself gore o a go aga sesha quarantine ya Kgomokgwana, e ntsheditswe bokae go e aga le go ntšhafatsa services tse di mo go yone?

Only 70,000 yo o ntshitsweng.

Madinyana ao ga se madi a a ka tsosolosang quarantine.

I have been informed gore the budget ya go tsosolosa quarantine eo is P4.5 Million.
Jaanong se se supa gore Goromente yo o eteletsweng pele ke His Honour Slumber Tsogwane le His Excellency Mokgweetsi Masisi ga a na maikaelelo, ga a a ikitaya sehuba gore a ka tlhabolola Kgaolo ya Okavango.

Ga a na maikaelelo a gore a ka araba dilelo tsa balemi le barui ba Kgaolo ya Okavango.

Se ke se utlwang ke gore go romiwa bommaboipelo time and time again, “tsamayang le ye to assess batho ba Okavango.
Lehuma le le ntsi thata kwa Kgaolong ya Okavango,” but to address the real structural issues tse e leng gore ke tsone tse di dirang gore lehuma le nne so endemic mo Kgaolong ya Okavango, those issues are not being addressed.

So today ke le raya ke re, re batla tsela mo Kgaolong ya rona ya Okavango, mme e bile re batla karabo e e tlhatswegileng, gore tsela ya rona e tlile go agiwa leng?
I was driving on that road yesterday evening, as I drove down that road, le nna I felt like a third class citizen, gore ke mang tota fela yo o ka kgweetsang mo tseleng e e ntseng jaana a bo a ipolelela fela gore o na le Goromente yo a mo ratang.

Fa o kgweetsa mo tseleng ele e tlaa go bolelela gore Goromente wa Domkrag yo o eteletsweng pele ke His Excellency Dr Mokgweetsi Masisi le His Honour Slumber Tsogwane ga a rate batho ba Okavango.
I did not mentioning Minister, ga ke mention Minister ka gore, Tautona ka sebele ... Mr Speaker, itsholelo ya Kgaolo ya Okavango e ikaegile mo go rueng le go lema.

E re busetsa gape kwa go yone tsela e ke neng ke bua ka yone e, gore tsela e fa e sa diriwe batho ba Okavango ga ba tle go boelwa ke sepe mo dikgomong tsa bone.

Se e bile e nna boammaaruri… ke kopa nako foo Mr Speaker… MR SPEAKER: Honourable Kapinga, o na le eight minutes.

MR TSOGWANE: On a point of clarification Mr Speaker.
Gongwe ke ka bo ke rile elucidation, mme ke ne ke re clarification ya me anyway ke go supa fela le go rurufaletsa Motlotlegi Rre Kapinga gore re rata batho ba Okavango thata.

O bo o itumela.

I thank you.

HONOURABLE MEMBER: O clarification.

ntebetse ka MR KAPINGA: Nnyaa ke tla go neela Honourable Healy.

As I conclude Mr Speaker, ke batla go bua ka Decentralisation Policy.
Motse o wa Shakawe Mr Speaker, historically from the 1940s, o sale o itshupile gore ke one the capital of the Okavango Sub-District, e le a centre ya go ineela.

Mongwe le mongwe a tla mo Shakawe go tla go batla tiro le economic opportunities.

Ke ka mabaka a a rileng, a a dirileng gore maemo a Shakawe as the district capital, a felele a ya go wela go sele.
Jaanong ra re a Decentralisation Policy e e tle Mr Speaker, Shakawe a tseye maemo a gagwe a a mo lebaganeng, a a mo tshwanetseng, a a bonwang ke mongwe le mongwe gore fa go na le motse-mogolo o o tshwanetseng go nna wa Okavango ke Shakawe.

Go a itshupa, despite official policy that drags in a different direction.

Go a itshupa Mr Speaker, gore motse-mogolo ke ofe wa Okavango.

Re e emetse Decentralisation Policy eo Mr Speaker.


Mr Speaker, rona re a hakgamala mo Okavango gore naare when it comes to distribution of the budget, ke eng o kare Kgaolwana ya Okavango ke yone e e humanegileng?

Ke raya sub-council ya teng.

Ke eng o kare ke yone e e humanegileng go feta sub-councils tse tsotlhe?

Ke eng e le yone sub-council e kwa go yone go bonwang matlo a destitutes, a go agiwang o kare ke dikotoisinyana fela jaana?
Fa o ya kwa dikhanseleng tse dingwe o fitlhela di agela batlhophi matlo a a bonalang.

Fa o tsena kwa Okavango o fitlhela selo se se kananyana gotwe go agetswe motlhoki.

Ke eng kwa Okavango e le gone fela kwa o fitlhelang bana ba agetswe sekole ka matlhaka?

Ga ke ise ke ko ke bone kgaolo e pe Mr Speaker, kwa go agetsweng bana sekole sa matlhaka teng kwa ntle ga Okavango.

Ke eng o kare ke yone kgaolo fela e e leng gore bana ba agelwa sekole ka canvas mo lefatsheng la Botswana?
A ga ba tseye budget kwa dikhansele tse dingwe di tsayang budgets teng?

Selo se is yet another proof ya gore Goromente yo o eteletsweng pele ke His Excellency Mokgweetsi Masisi le His Honour Slumber Tsogwane, ga ba rate Kgaolo ya Okavango.

Jaanong ke nako gore wena o le Tona ya Madi o lebelele dilo tse gore cake e ya lefatshe la Botswana, e tshwanetse gore e kgaoganngwe equitably for all the districts.
Maloba fa re buisana ka molao wa Financial Intelligence Agency (FIA), you disappointed me o le Minister of Finance.

A rigidity e o e supileng ya go sa reetsa, ya go sa amogela suggestions dipe tse di neng di tswa kwa go rona, e mpontshitse gore go raya gore go na le mokgwa mo go wena wa gore ga o ka ke wa amogela megopolo e e tswang kwa opposition, o tsamaya fela ka megopolo e e tswang kwa Domkrag.
These excitements and ululations ya gore nnyaa jaanong go tlhophilwe Tona wa mme wa ntlha jalojalo, ke a e amogela gore nnyaa ke wena wa ntlha.

Fa e le gore the attitude e o neng o e supa maloba fa re debate the FIA, ke yone e o tlaa tsenang mo tsamaisong ya Ministry wa Finance ka yone, then I do not think we should be excited and expect anything from you.
You have made me to be very sceptical gore a mme yo o tlaa reetsa suggestions tse di tswang kwa go ba kganetso, fa e le gore o gana sengwe le sengwe a se suputsa mo mmung se se tswang mo kganetsong mme e le dilo tse di nang le boammaaruri.

O gana fela gore Governor yo o berekang le ene, yo o eteletseng pele banka kgolo ya lefatshe la Botswana, go mo fa boikarabelo, o re o ka mpa wa neela Permanent Secretary to the President (PSP), for no good reason that you advanced.

You disappointed me.


I am disappointed and I am yet to be made hopeful gore o tlaa dira sengwe se se pharologanyo.

Ka a le kalo ke a leboga Mr Speaker.

HONOURABLE MEMBER: Mme e bile a tsene ka fensetere.

HONOURABLE MEMBER: Mr Speaker, ba re lebetse ka metsi.

MR SPEAKER: Ke laetse bongwanake gore ba tlise metsi batsadi ba me, ke tseela gore ka diofisi tsa lona di palo, ba tlaa goroga gone jaana.
