BILL FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE BILL, 2021 (NO.

34 OF 2021) Second Reading MINISTER OF FINANCE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT (MS SERAME): Thank you Mr Speaker.
Mr Speaker, I have the honour to present to this Honourable House for second reading, the Financial Intelligence Bill, 2021 (No.

34 of 2021).

Mr Speaker, allow me to provide background and context before I highlight the Clauses of this Bill.

By way of background Mr Speaker, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) has 40 recommendations which are standard and countries have to comply with in order to tackle money laundering, terrorist financing and the financing of proliferation.
The rating of countries against the 40 recommendations are classified as either compliant, largely compliant, partly compliant or not compliant.

Mr Speaker, during the assessment in 2017, Botswana was found to have serious strategic deficiencies in her anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism and proliferation, AML/CFT/CFP, Framework.
No recommendation at the time was rated compliant; three were largely compliant, 13 were partially compliant, 23 were non-compliant while one was not applicable.

This led to the country being grey listed by FATF in 2018 and blacklisted by the EU in 2020.

Remedial action towards being removed from the grey list and the blacklist became a priority for the country.

This is evidenced by the 25 pieces of legislation passed by Parliament in 2018 and a further six in 2018.
All these efforts led to Botswana being removed from the grey list in October 2021, because 2 Hansard No 204Monday 24th January, 2022FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE BILL, 2021 (NO.

34 OF 2021) Second Reading we had largely addressed the deficiencies and attained adequate effectiveness in the implementation of the AML/ CFT/CFP measures identified in the 2017 mutual evaluation review.
As at the end of December 2021 Mr Speaker, the country was rated complaint on seven FATF recommendations, largely compliant on 22, partially compliant on eight, non-compliant on two and one was non-applicable.

During the on-site visit by the FATF delegation in August 2021, Botswana had made a commitment at the highest level to continue strengthening the effectiveness of its anti-money laundering, combating of terrorism and proliferation financing regime.
It is in line with that highest level of political commitment, that Botswana is delivering on its pledge and obligation by addressing the remaining deficiencies.
In this regard, all stakeholders responsible for anti-money laundering and combating of financing of terrorism initiatives recently embarked on a holistic review of the Financial Intelligence Act of 2019, to address the deficiencies identified during assessments carried out by the Eastern and Southern Africa Anti- Money Laundering Group (ESAAMLG) and the FATF.

This resulted in the proposed overhaul of the Financial Intelligence Act and consequential amendments to several other pieces of legislation.
The amendments are intended to address the 10 recommendations where two are currently rated as non- compliant while eight are rated as partially compliant.

The amendments of these laws Mr Speaker will strengthened the anti-money laundering countering financing of terrorism and proliferation efforts in Botswana, and will also put the country in a good position during the next mutual evaluation in 2024.
Mr Speaker, the procedure at ESAAMLG is that after a country has amended its legislation, they are allowed to request for re-rating of FATF recommendations that are still rated non-compliant or partially compliant.

Further, the request for re-rating has to be made at least six months in advance of the ESAAMLG taskforce plenary meetings.

This means that for Botswana the request for re-rating can only be considered during the September 2022 meeting of ESAAMLG.
In its request for re- rating, the country has to submit all other information supporting the request for re-rating to the ESAAMLG Secretariat.

This supporting information refers to the relevant laws, regulations or other AML/ CFT/CFP measures that are in force and effect.

It is crucial Mr Speaker that the Financial Intelligence Bill and others be elected expeditiously for the country to submit a request for re-rating in February 2022.
It is in this regard that through the Office of His Honour the Vice President, the Speakership was requested for a Special Meeting of Parliament in January before the Budget Meeting.

Mr Speaker, I therefore crave Parliament’s indulgence for responding positively to this national duty by agreeing to convene this emergency session to consider these Bills.
Going forward Mr Speaker, I expect that further amendments to the AML/CTF/CFP related laws will only be brought about by new changes that FATF will introduce in the global standards.

Mr Speaker, the enactment of the Financial Intelligence Act has caused consequential amendments to other pieces of legislation.
These are the Companies Act, The Trust Property Control Act, the Societies Act, Proceeds and Instruments of Crime Act, Counter-Terrorism Act, Criminal Procedure and Evidence Act, Extradition Act, Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters Act, Biological and Toxin Weapons Prohibition Act, Chemical Weapons Prohibition Act, Nuclear Weapons Prohibition Act, Precious and Semi-Precious Stones Protection Act and the Real Estate Professionals Act.
Mr Speaker, my colleagues will present the consequential amendments to the other pieces of legislation.

Mr Speaker, I now wish to highlight the provisions of the Financial Intelligence Bill that has been presented to Parliament.

The Bill has eight parts with a total of 63 Clauses.

Part 1 overs preliminary matters.

Under this part, Clause 2 of the Bill subsumes the definition of beneficial ownership as amended in 2021.
The Clause amends the definitions of business relationship and specified party to make them consistent with the FATF and Global Forum Standards and improve readability.

Further, the Clause amends the definition of prominent influential person to remove religious leaders.
Further, Clause 2 also introduces new definitions such as the definitions of virtual assets, and virtual assets service providers to comply with the revised FATF standards on virtual assets, and definition of a trustee, protector, risk management systems and tip-off.

Part 2 of the Bill provides for the establishment of the Financial Intelligence Agency.

Clause 6 is amended to enable the FIA to disseminate Financial Intelligence spontaneously or upon request to relevant competent authorities.
3 Hansard No 204Monday 24th January, 2022FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE BILL, 2021 (NO.

34 OF 2021) Second Reading Part 3 provides for the establishment of the National Coordinating Committee on Financial Intelligence.

Under this part, Clause 8 of the Bill serves the memberships of the National Coordination Committee on Financial Intelligence or National Coordinating Committee on Financial Intelligence (NCCFI) at Permanent Secretary level.
The Clause appoints the Permanent Secretary to the President as the Chairperson of the NCCFI.

Further, Clause 8 expands the composition of the NCCFI to include other critical stakeholders such as the Botswana Defence Force.

The Clause further incorporates a mandate of National Counter-Terrorism Committee to NCCFI.

Mr Speaker, Part 4 of the Bill covers the duty to implement programmes and identify customers.
Under this part, Clause 17 introduces an obligation to register or license agents for money or value transfer service providers.

Clause 24 and 25 prescribe penalties for a person who authorises the establishment of maintenance of anonymous accounts and shell banks or shell accounts respectively.

Part 5 provides for keeping of records.


Clause 36 of the Bill enables the FIA to initiate analysis of information on its own initiative based on information in its possession or information received from other sources to generate a suspicious transaction report.

Part 6 provides for reporting obligations and cash transactions.

Under this part, Clause 44 increases the period of interruption of a transaction to 15 working days.

Part 7 covers referral, supervision and exchange of information.
Clause 48 under this part introduces an obligation to supervisory authorities to prevent criminals from holding controlling interest, be it in management or beneficial owner of entities that they licence.

Part 8 of the Bill provides for general provisions.

Under this part, there is schedule one of specified parties which has been amended to include virtual assets, service providers, trust and companies service providers, while schedule two is amended to include the Department of Mines.
Schedule three has been amended to narrow the definition of accountable institutions for the purposes of the Financial Intelligence Act.

The reason for that is to ease monitoring and supervision of these entities to improve Botswana’s compliance with FATF standards.

Mr Speaker, this concludes my presentation.

Mr Speaker, I therefore beg move that the Financial Intelligence Bill, 2021 (No.

34 of 2021) be read a second time.

I thank you Mr Speaker.

MR SPEAKER: Thank you Honourable Minister.

e leng gore jaaka Tautona a tlhola a rotloetsa, re tseye karolo mo dikgannyeng tse.
Ba ye go bereka gone koo, e nne matlho a rona, ba nne ba re tlhagisa gore re se ka ra tloga ra boela gape re nna grey listed.

Ke sengwe se e leng gore we need to encourage that.

We have done a good job.

I always said and I am saying it now go ruta Batswana.

Kana batho ba le bantsintsi they are very careful gore madi a bone a ba a bereketseng a dira jang.

Ke sengwe se se tlaa re thusang gore le rona re nne part of dikgang tsa go nna jalo.
Batswana ba na le kgatlhego ya go ka dira madi, go ka tsena mo ditlhabololong.

The crypto currency Mr Speaker, e gantsi Batswana ba e itseng thata ya the bitcoin, Batswana ba le bantsintsi ba latlhegetswe ke madi mong wa me, ba na le kgatlhego ya go ka tsenelela tsone dikgang tsa crypto currency.

Ba tsenelela fa gongwe kitso e se ntsi.


Fa gongwe e le gone gore ba bangwe ba mafatshe a mangwe ba tla bo ba re nnyaa, kana lona le santse le sa letlelesege, mme tsenya ka account ya me gore o kgone gore o dirise this crypto currency.

Se se ne sa felela se dirile gore Batswana ba latlhegelwe ke madi a mantsintsi, ba felela ba nna le go sa nna le tshepo.

Kana the train is moving, if we do not become of that moving train, re salela kwa morago.
Dikgang tse di ntseng jaana, di tlile go dira gore re phuthologe le rona, re tseye karolo mo go tsone jaaka o utlwa go buiwa Mr Speaker, which I may not have time to debate, the virtual assets gore le rona re kgone gore re tle ka melao e e leng gore e tsamaelana le segompieno.

Ke ka jalo ke reng, this is a very welcome move.

Mr Speaker, one of the things tse gongwe ke neng ke batla go feta ka tsone ke gore, we need to encourage Batswana gore ba kgone go tlhaloganya melao e sentle.
Kana fa gongwe melao fa e dirwa batho, ba tsaya gore e direlwa go kgokgontsha ope kana goreng.

Kgangkgolo ke gore mongwe le mongwe a dire a phuthologile.

Fa melao e ntse sentle fela e tlhomame, ga go na bothata, batho botlhe ba lefatshe ba tlaa itse gore nnyaa ga re itsewe fela ka gore re barata Kagiso, mme le go dirisanya le ba bangwe ke sengwe se e leng gore re a se itse.

Sengwe se ke nnang ke eletsa gore se diragale Mr Speaker, ke kgang ya gore Batswana need to go out.
They need to go and join the global village ba bereke, e re ba le koo ba romele pounds, Dollars kwano kwa Botswana.

Re batla gore se ba se dire go phuthologile.

Kana ke a itse gore bangwe ba ne ba bua le nna maloba ba nthaya ba re nnyaa, kana le fa ke setse 2 Pula ke re ke sendela kwa Botswana, fa ke tsena mo go bo Western Union, gatwe nnyaa mme Botswana go santse go na le dikgotlhangnyana dingwe tse di tshwanetseng gore di fetisiwe pele.
Mr Speaker, se se tlile go re rontsha gore le rona economy ya rona e ka gola.

Ke selo se e leng gore molawana o fa o ka fetisiwa, Batswana ba tlile go kgona go ya go bereka kwa mafatsheng a sele.

We should stop being people ba e leng gore re tsaya gore fa o fetsa Degree ya gago, ke gore o bereke mo Botswana.

HONOURABLE MEMBER: O ne o alela kgang.

Kwa kerekeng e ke e tsenang go na le pina e e reng ‘tshwarang thata badumedi, ineeleng go rapela, le bitse leina la ga Jeso ka tumelo.’ Ga go motlhofo, lefatshe leno la rona e rile mo malobeng fela jaaka Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente e kile ya re moso wa gompieno a bua lefoko la botlhokwa a re seriti moriti, lefatshe leno la rona le ntse le wetswe ke moriti o montsho, re tshasitswe.
Kana fa o ka re motlotlegi rraetsho, any of these important Parliamentarians, ke Rraago Pule, ke ene ke mmonang a apere hempe e tshweu.

Wa mo gasa ka boloko, go tswa fa le fa e le mosadi yo o setswerere mmaago Atlega a ka tlhatswa hempe e tshweu e, go tlaa nna go ntse go sala matoditodinyana gore hempe e e ne e gasitswe ka boloko.

Lefatshe leno le ne le gasitswe ka boloko ka moriti o o ntseng o re wetse.

MR KEORAPETSE (SELEBI PHIKWE WEST): Ke a leboga Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente, gore o bo o mphile sebaka le nna ke buise Molao-kakanyetso o wa Financial Intelligence Bill, 2021 (Bill No.

A Modimo a nne le lefatshe la Botswana, a le nesetse pula, le nne le kagiso le thibibalo go tswa gompieno go ya ka bosayeng kae.
Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente, ke tlhalose gore re setse re utlwile Tona ka tlhaloso ya gagwe ya gore ke eng fa Melao-kakanyetso e e motseletsele e e tlile mo Palamenteng le gore ke eng re biditswe ka tshoganetso.

Maikaelelo ke gore moriti o o neng o buiwa ke Honourable Pono Moatlhodi o tswe mo go rona, bogolo jang kgang ya grey listing e e neng e dirilwe ka ba FATF, e re duleng mo go yone ka di 21 October ngwaga o o fetileng.
Se se sa ntseng se ntshwenya, Honourable Serame o tlaa mpaakanyetsa fa e le gore go nnile le diphetogo.

Ke dumela gore ba European Union (EU) have still blacklisted us as a country at the moment, ke dumela gore ke around October 2020.

So re sa ntse re na le one matshwenyego ao.

Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente, maikaelelo a molao wa Financial Intelligence ke gore o thuse melao.
O tlile ka ngwaga 2009, maikaelelo a matona e ne e le go lwantsha ka Sekgoa mo gotweng fiscal and revenue crimes, ke gore melato e tsamaelanang le madi le itsholelo kana go gopela itsholelo.

Re bua ka maikaelelo a go leka go hema melato e e tshwanang le money laundering kana go tlhatswa madi a a bonweng ka tsela e e seng yone.

Maikaelelo e le gore tse di tshwanang le fraud and racketeering di fele.

Go utswiwa ga dithoto tsa Puso ke gore, theft of Government assets, embezzlement and tax evasion.
Melato e e akaretsang ya itsholelo le madi, e ye kwa tlase.

Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente, a re lebelele gore go simolola molao o nna teng ka 2009 go tla go fitlhelela gompieno, re ntse re le fa kae re le lefatshe?

Re ntse re dira jang mo melatong e tshwanang le ya itsholelo kana ya madi.

O tlaa gakologelwa Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente gore dikgang tsa melato ya madi kana e e amang itsholelo e e botlhabetsi, e ka diga lefatshe.
Ke gore financial scandals kana corporate scandals ke dilo tse di ka amang itsholelo kwa godimo fa di ka se ka tsa elwa tlhoko.

Ke sone se re leng Palamente, re tshwanetseng go tsenya leitlho thata mo dikgannyeng tse di tshwanang le tse.

Re a itse kwa mafatsheng a sele dikgang tse di tshwanang le tsa scandal sele sa Bernard 8 Hansard No 204Monday 24th January, 2022FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE BILL, 2021 (NO.

Scandals tse di tshwanang le tsa boEnron tsa 2001, Dieselgate kana Emissionsgate tse di neng di akaretsa dikompone tsa Volkswagen (VW).

Scandals tse di tshwanang le tsa boLehman Brothers ke dingwe tsa dikai tse e leng gore mo mafatshefatsheng re ka di supa gore di ne tsa leswafatsa mafatshe ao.

Re a itse gore kwano re ne ra leswefadiwa thata ke National Petroleum Fund (NPF) le Capital Management Botswana (CMB) scandals go akarediwa le tse dintsi.
Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente, lefatshe la Botswana go simolola kwa morago go tla go tsena ka 2009 fa molao o o nna teng, re ne re ntse re le vulnerable.

Go le bobebe gore re ka nna lefatshe le le tshabelelwang ke financial and economic crimes, melato e ya itsholelo.

Sengwe se e leng gore se ne se itshupa morago ga molao o o ntse o le teng ke gore, dikotlhao di kwa tlase fela thata tsa melato e e tshwanang le economic crimes.
Fiscal and revenue crimes mo Botswana dikotlhao tsa teng di kwa tlase le gore fa o di tshwantshanya let say lefatshe la America; if you are involved in a financial scandal e bo o felela o bonwa molato kwa kgotlatshekelo, 30 years o a wela motho a ntse a le kwa kgolegelong.

But kwano re nna vulnerable in part because the penalties kana dikotlhao di kwa tlase fela thata.
Fa o lebelela, go na le diagente dingwe tse di kileng tsa lebisiwa molato, ba bo ba bonwa molato wa go utswa madi, mme madi ao a ne a le kwa godimo ga million.

Ga ke gakologelwe go na le ope wa bone yo o kileng a tsena mo kgolegelong more than six months, kana fa ke sa fose more than ngwaga.

Fa o lebelela molato o, o bo o lebelela le yo o utswileng podi kana kgomo, nnyaa oo ke five years or 10 years mo kgolegelong.
A re baakanyeng dilo tse ka gore Batswana ba a di ngongoregela gore a ba ba utswang millions le bone ba ye kwa kgolegelong dingwaga tse di telele.

Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente, go kile ga nna le se sengwe scandal sa go utswiwa ga madi kwa Bank of Botswana, ke ne ke santse ke tsena kwa University of Botswana (UB), ke dumela gore ke ne ke dira second year.
Fa o re o lebelela dikotlhao tsa teng, o re o di tshwantshanya le tsa fa motho a utswile podi kana kgomo, nnyaa o bona gore fiscal and revenue crimes batho ba itswela fela.

Re le lefatshe, we continue to be a conduit for illicit financial flows.

Batho ba ba utswileng madi kana ba fetisa madi, ba kgona go a fetisa ka lefatshe la Botswana mme re ntse re nnile le Molao-kakanyetso o. Ga re ise re ye kwa tlase mo dipalong tsa tshenyetso-setšhaba le go gopela itsholelo.
Se sengwe se se tlhobaetsang Batswana le go feta ke mo e leng gore ba ba bonweng molato, bogolo jang ba re tsayang gore re ka re ke the big fish, fa ba tsena kwa makgotlatshekelong go lebega ditsheko tsotlhe di latlhegela Goromente.

Low conviction rate; ke mathata a matona a Batswana ba a lebeletseng.
Ba ipotsa gore a re tlaa tsamaya re bona corporate executives, Permanent Secretaries (PSs) kana batho ba maemo ape fela ba companies tse di tonatona, the Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) ba ba nnang ba gogagogiwa kwa courts, big business people, go nna le conviction at the end of the day.

Jaanong go na le dipotso tse dintsi gore a go na le mathata a tlhotlhomiso gore cases tse dingwe are politically motivated?
Go na le dipotso tsa gore a ba ba tlhotlhomisang ba itse se ba se dirang, kana ba ba sekisang ba itse se ba se dirang?

Ke dipotso tse di tshwanetseng re di arabe Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente.

Se sengwe ke gore, go direla dilo mo pontsheng, re santse re tlhaela re lefatshe la Botswana notwithstanding enactment of this law in 2009.

Re santse re tlhaela ka go dira dilo mo pontsheng le go arabela se Goromente a paletsweng ke go se dira kana a se dirile.
Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente, re santse re na le mathata a wastage and leakages tse di neng di buiwa ke Honourable Matsheka, Minister of Finance and Economic Development then, gore di tsamaela kwa go 37 per cent.

Mo e leng gore fa o re o a balela, o fitlhela e le P5 billion o o tsenang through the cracks re sa itse gore madi a teng a felela a le kae.

Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente, ke dumela gore fa re lebelela mo Molaokakanyetsong o, re tshwanetse to address dikgang tse.
Clause 8 e bua gore National Coordinating Committee on Financial Intelligence (NCCFI) yo o tlaabong a e eteletse pele, e tlaabo e le Permanent Secretary to the President (PSP).

My considered view ke gore, tota fa o lebelela PSP, re bua ka motho yo o arabelang kwa ofising ya ga Tautona.

Let us try to address independence ya makgotla a a tshwanang le a.

Re nna re lela ka Directorate (DCEC), on Corruption and Economic Crime Ombudsman and Auditor General gore ke makgotla a a sa ikemelang ka nosi.
Financial Intelligence Agency (FIA) e ntse ke makgotla a a tshwanetseng go thusa a a ikemetseng ka nosi a a bonang gore dilo di dirwa ka tshiamo including even bagolo ba ba tshwanang le the President, Vice President (VP), Ministers, Members of Parliament (MPs) and the society at large.

Jaanong fa o tsaya yo e tlaabong e le Chair e nna PSP, yo e leng gore is appointed at the helm and …(inaudible)… of the President, nnyaa, re na le mathata a matona.
9 Hansard No 204Monday 24th January, 2022FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE BILL, 2021 (NO.

34 OF 2021) Second Reading Tona, moeteledipele wa FIA, tota o kare o ka bo a tlhomiwa ka tsela nngwe e e faphegileng e go tlaa sekeng go nne bonolo gore re bo re bona se se neng se diragala jaaka kwa DCEC.

Mo dingwageng tse tharo, re setse na le Director Generals tse tharo e le gore President can fire and hire jaaka a batla.

Re kile ra bona Office of the President (OP) gape e leka go sutisa staff kwa DCEC.
These are the things tse e leng gore FIA will remain vulnerable to, fa e le gore ga re e dire completely independent.

E tshwanetse e nne independent le fa e le gore ga e ka ke ya nna completely independent but e nne independent.

E bo mandate wa bone ba o dira ka tshosologo ba sa boife gore motho o ka kojwa kana konteraka ya gagwe ka emisiwa.

Mo Clause 17 o bua ka anonymous accounts; I think ya anonymous e tshwanetse e lebelelwe thata.
Re dumela gore fa go ka nna le kgang, bogolo jang re itse gore bangwe ba tila kgang ya anonymous kana there are some countries tse di nang le anonymous, ba bangwe tota they are complete, absolute tax havens.

Batho ba kgone ba ise madi gone koo.

Fa gongwe re tshwanetse re lebelele gore what sort of penalties can be meted on those people ba e leng gore they are citizens of this country mme ba felela ba siisa, ba a isa kwa makgotleng a a tshwanang le ao.
Clause 44 e bua ka reporting obligations; mo go yone fa ke lebeletse dikgang tsa reporting of suspicious transactions, e siame.

Honourable Minister, at implementation se re se kopang ke gore, ga re batle go bona dilo tse e leng gore reporting obligation jaanong e fetoga e nna politically motivated.

Fa e le gore ke account ya ga Honourable Saleshando, gongwe mongwe a tsenya donation ya Botswana Congress Party (BCP), gore tsaya madi ke a o ise kwa BCP, e bo e le gore is a red flag.
Fa e leng gore gongwe ke Honourable Segokgo, million a tsena in his account, nnyaa ga go na mathata.
E kile ya re Tona yo mongwe ka Palamente ya bo 11 ka mo raya fela ke re, “ga ke itse gore babegadikgang ba ne ba go tshaba eng ka go ne ga nna le whistleblowing ya gore go na le madi mangwe a a neng a tsena mo account ya gago ka nako ya fa re ntse re lebeletse primaries le ditlhopho tse dingwe.” Jaanong dikgang tse di tshwanang le tsone tse, o bona fela gore motho o receive madi a a kalo, nnyaa, ga go raise red flag, ga go na le fa e le mathata.
Ke a itse, fa e ne e le wa kganetso, o ka bo a kile a salwa morago, ga batlwa go itsiwe gore madi a a kanakana a a tsenang mo account e ke a eng.

So, a re se ka ra bona politically motivated e le gore jaanong batho ba setswe morago, mme e le gore ga go na lepele le morago.

Mr Speaker, ke tshwenngwa ke gore, jaaka ke ne ke bua ka kgang ya independence, gore we need to adequately address independence ya makgotla a a tshwanang le one a.
Se sengwe se re tshwanetseng gore re se address ke oversight because in my view, reading through the Bill, ga ke bone oversight e le gore it is well spelt out.

I know, FIA appears before Statutory Bodies Committee, ya ga Dr Never Tshabang.

Able-bodied hands tsa ga Dr Tshabang, ke dumela gore o ka tlhodumela, a bona gore ke eng se se sa tsamayang sentle, ke eng se se tsamaileng sentle.

Ke mo tshepha thata fa go tla mo dikgannyeng tsone tseo.

I think he is adequately trained.


He has Master of Business Administration (MBA) and three other Degrees tsa Chemistry and experience ya board memberships.

Ke dumela gore he is capable.

My problem ke gore, oversight e, it is not well spelt out because kana fa o lebelela mandate wa komiti ya ga Honourable Tshabang, kana it is to look gore budget e ba e neetsweng a ba e dirisitse sentle.
In terms of delving into the mandate deeper, re tshwanetse gore bagaetsho gone fa, Palamente re e fe dithata tsa oversight.

Tota e bile e ka bo re e fa yone Palamente thata ya gore e recommend for appointment, fa e le gore gongwe an independent body like the Judicial Commission (JC) cannot appoint the head wa FIA.

Re enhance Parliamentary oversight, le tabling of the report, e ka bo e dirwa fa pele ga komiti ya Palamente, to account fully for its mandate.
FIA should be able to account for its mandate and execution of its mandate, implementation of this Act, e bo e le gore jaanong ba appear before a Committee of Parliament, not to just scrutinise or examine the books of accounts as it is the case with the Statutory Bodies Committee ya ga Honourable Dr Tshabang.

So that is my submission Honourable Speaker with respect to oversight and accountability to yone ya Palamente.
Ga ke bone gope fa go buang gore ba ba ka se keng ba dirise maemo a bone sentle a ba a fiwang ke Lekgotla la FIA kana ke molao which establishes FIA, gone go raya gore ba ka tseelwa dikgato tse di ntseng jalo.

I am not able to see this go bona gore… because you see, when you lead or o le part of institution e e tshwanang le yone ya FIA, ke gore kana o a bo o neetswe power e tona.
E re bonang e le gore currently power e, it is misused ke lekgotla le tshwana le la Directorate of Intelligence and Security (DIS).

Ga re batle a replica ya se se diragalang kwa Lekgotlaneng la DIS, where power and position of responsibility is misused.

Misused targeting political opponents le batho, e le gore lekgotla la DIS le nna le lose cases kwa court, le nna le sekisiwa 10 Hansard No 204Monday 24th January, 2022FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE BILL, 2021 (NO.

Jaanong, Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente, when we re-enact FIA, we ought to have had in mind gore ba tlaabo ba tshwere power kana ba ntse ba tshwere power e tona, e e leng gore fa e le gore ga go na accountability mechanism and punitive measures tsa misuse ya ofisi, consequences tse di ka nnang teng ke eng.
Re bone go begilwe gompieno mongwe wa badirelapuso gore he lied under oath, ke gore a forger affidavit, a bo a e submit a supa gore, ga a re ba re, o sure gore go dirilwe acts of financing of terrorism, a bo a ntsha affidavit.

Re bua jaana e le gore ke kgetsi e e kwa mapodiseng, e e isitseng ke General Khama gore motho ke yo o akile mo affidavit.

Fa o akile mo affidavit, o bonwe molato, lekgotla le go atlhotse katlholo e e kwa godimo, ke dingwaga tsone tsa bo seven years mo kgolegelong.
Re bua jaana e le gore nnyaa, ga go na le fa e le epe kgato e e tserweng.

Jaanong fear ya rona ke gore, fa o tsaya lekgotla le le tshwanang le la FIA o le empower, e le gore it is a financial intelligence, a bo e le gore gongwe ba bopela motho kgomo ya mmopa, namane ya yone a bo a e kotelwa, nnyaa, go tshwanetse gore go nne le dikgato fela tse di gagametseng, di tsewe, e bile di appear mo Molao-kakanyetsong o.
To fabricate melato fela gotwe motho is a terrorist, go bo go tlholwa go tabogilwe ka ditlhobolo dramatising kwa court, ke tsone dikgang tse fa go buiwa ka makgotla a a tshwanang le one a bo FIA, re tsenwa ke tsebetsebe ya gore re dira jang.

Re ithutile jang mo nakong e e fetileng ka fa melao e e ntseng ka teng.

Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente, molao wa FIA, ke a bona gore go na le 15 other pieces of legislation which will augment kana their consequential amendments to yone FIA.
Ga re ka ke ra fitlhelela maikaelelo ao, fa re ka se ka ra tlisa Molao-kakanyetso o o tlhabololang Corruption and Economic Crime Act because bontsi jwa melato yone ya fiscal and revenue crimes, kana fa gotwe economic crime, e le mandate wa DCEC, re a itse gore mandate one o, is captured under the Corruption and Economic Crime Act.
Fa re ka se ka ra nna le lekgotla le le ikemetseng ka nosi la DCEC, le le nonotshitsweng, le na le batlhotlhomisi ba tlhwatlhwa, le ikemetse ka nosi, le seyo mo Pusong, le na le meno, le sa bogole fela, nnyaa, go tlile go nna thata gore Lekgotla la FIA le fitlhelele mandate wa lone.

Kana go supa gore mandate ya yone e bile e a tsamaelana, ke dumela gore mongwe wa basimolodisi ba lekgotla lone le, o ne a tsewa kwa DCEC, mme gompieno o kare o bereka golo gongwe kwa mafatsheng.
Fa re ka se ka ra nna le melao e e gagametseng, e e lebaganeng le yone kgang ya fiscal and revenue crimes, nnyaa, re tlile go tswelela re lela senajwa, re tlaa lela se bo se kgala.

Mme sone se se re tlhobaetsang ke gore tshenyetso-setšhaba le go gopela itsholelo di ntse di a gola, di kwa godimo.

Ke tsaya gore Palamente e dirile sentle gore e re fa e bona dilo tse e bo e re bitsa jaaka e re biditse ka tshoganetso gore re tle go sekaseka melao e, re e fetise gore ledi la Pula le somarelesege.
Mme jaaka ke kile ka bua mo nakong e e fetileng gore kana dikgang tse di buang ka madi, mafatshe a mangwe fa a re lebeletse, ga se gantsi o ka ba raya o re nna ke dira jaana, ke siame, ke tshwara madi sentle ka gore ba a iponela.

Mr Speaker, kgang e ga se lantlha re e bua ya financing of terrorism.
Re bua gore kana dilo tse le malawana e mengwe e re e dirang mo Ntlong e, e tshwanetse e lebege e support gore go se ka ga nna le financing of terrorism.

Maloba re ne re fetisa molao, ke e fa sekai, wa motsoko, re tlisa melao e e gatelelang tiriso le thekiso ya motsoko mo lefatsheng la Botswana.

Re tlhalosa ka nako eo re re kana fa o dira, if you overregulate, jaanong o fa tshono ba ba tlaa kgonang go dira ba sa sale molao ope morago.

E ka nna motsoko, sengwe fela kana any commodity e e rekisegang, e kgona go tsenya madi.
So, re tshwanetse gore e re fa re dira melao ya rona, re se ka ra e gagamatsa thata gore re se ka ra a fa terrorists tshono gore di ka kgona go dira madi ka dilo tseo.

Jaanong dibanka tse di sa direng jalo, tse di sa saleng molao o morago, di tlaa otlhaiwa ka fa tlase ga molao o. Ke sone se ke se lebogelang thata.

Kana fa o ka bona tiriso botlhaswa ya madi mo Botswana, Honourable Dr Matsheka, Tona wa pele wa Madi le Ditlhabololo o kile a tlhalosa gore 37 per cent wa madi a rona a ya kwa corruption.

Jaanong 37 per cent yoo, ke tshono of financing terrorism, go dira money laundering le all the deeds that you can think of.
Jaanong fa re santse re ise re address dikgang tseo tsa corruption e e diragalang mo maphateng a Puso, re e bona ka matlho… ke a itse gore o a itse Mr Speaker gore gangwe le gape re kgona go bona batho ba isiwa kwa Kgotlatshekelo ba seka.

Ke a ipoeletsa Mr Speaker, ka re fa o lebile melao e re e dirang, le dilo tse re tswelelang re ntse re di tsweledisa fela mme re ntse re lemogile gore ga se dilo tse di siameng, Botswana qualifies to be called a primitive democracy; Puso ya batho ka batho e e saletseng kwa morago, e e siilweng ke ditlhabololo, e e sa tlhabologang, e tsamaisana le dinako tse re leng mo go tsone.
Mr Speaker, molao o wa FIA maikaelelo a one ke go tsaya Botswana e e baya mo seemong se e leng gore e ka lebiwa e complying with the international financial system regulatory structure or mechanisms.

Ke a leboga.

Selo sa ntlha; appointment of the Director General.

Fa ke santse ke le mosimanyana kwa Mahalapye Mr Speaker kwa ke neng ke tsena sekole teng, go kile ga tla magician yo mongwe yo o neng a bidiwa Muhammed.

O ne a tsaya beke e ntshonyana fela jaana a bo a re ‘bing, salah bing, abracadabra’, a bo a ntsha mmutla mo teng.

Ka re ne re le basimanyana re sa akanyetsa dilo thata, re itumela gore magician yo o ntshitse mmutla mo bekeng e ntsho.
Jaanong Mr Speaker, the same is happening in terms of senior appointments in this Government.

Ke gore ke bing, salah bing, leina le a somoga le sa itse gore le somoga fa kae, o kare mmutla o o tswang mo bekeng e ntsho ya ga Muhammed.

Le tlaa lemoga bakaulengwe jaaka ke kile kgantele ka bua le Motlotlegi Mopalamente wa Mahalapye Bophirima, ke mo raya ke re tota le fa re se mo go yone kgang, ke go letla fela ka golo fa re tshwanetse ra leka go jwala tirisanyo mmogo.

Ke itheile ka re Motlotlegi Mopalamente wa Okavango le ene o ne a nkutlwa, ke motho yo o tsebe ntlha go utlwa.

Motlotlegi Mothusa Tautona, o a mo utlwa mokaulengwe wa gago gore a mme re ntse re mo temeng Motlotlegi Mopalamente wa Okavango.

Ke e tlogela mo go wena, I do not want to make any ruling ka kgantele ke kile ka tlogela mo yo mongwe.
Mr Speaker, if we were to qualify to be a sophisticated modern democracy, fa motho a tla go bewa to such a sensitive position, go tshwanetse gore go bo go nna le process e itsiweng ke mongwe le mongwe, which can be witnessed that there was a process that happened before such and such a person was appointed Director General of FIA.

Re tsoga re gakgamala kamoso re tshwana le batho ba Tonga ba e rileng ba tsoga ba bo ba iphitlhela ba khurumeditswe ke mesi ya volcano.
Re tsoga re gakgamala kamoso re fiwa leina la motho yo re sa itseng gore o somogile fa kae, o kare o somoga mo bekeng ya magician gotwe ke ene Director General wa FIA.

Mr Speaker, tsamaiso e e ntseng jalo, I find it to be backward and primitive.

That is why I am saying Botswana remains a primitive democracy.

Re santse re batla go tsweledisa seemo se e leng gore President wa rona ke gore ga a botswe sepe, he is like an imperial president, a monarch.
Re tsaya gore ke gore botlhale le maikarabelo a gagwe ke a e leng gore a feta motho yo o bopilweng mo setshwanong sa Modimo.

I do not believe in that kind of system Mr Speaker, and I believe ga e ka ke ya re isa gope.

E tlile go re dira gore re nne jaaka re ntse jaana mo e leng gore re dikologa golo go le gongwefela, ga go na kwa re go yang.

Dithata tse di tshwanang le tse re di neetseng Tautona, ke tsone tse di dirang gore a bo a appoint batho... LEADER OF THE HOUSE (MR TSOGWANE): Procedure.
Ke ne ke utlwa e le gore mokaulengwe o tsena thata a gaketse, mme a bua ka primitive democracy.

Nnyaa, kana primitive democracy ke ya rona rotlhe, a le MR KAPINGA: Ke mo go yone right on the forehead, I am talking about Clause 5 e e fang Tautona the unbridled, unfettered power to appoint the Director General, of FIA.

That is what I am labeling as a primitive democracy, it is only a primitive democracy that can continue to confer so much power on a single individual.
That is the point that I am making Mr Speaker.

The end result… HONOURABLE MEMBER: Replied on unriddled path sir.

MR KAPINGA: Unriddled, ke itse Sekgoa thata.

HONOURABLE MEMBER: Nnyaa, un-riddled.

MR KAPINGA: The consequence, the unavoidable consequence of that is that you have blind individuals appointed to positions, ba e leng gore fa ba tewa gotwe dira jaana o a dira because the process leading to their appointment was covered in darkness.
Le ene ga a itse motho wa Modimo gore tota e rile gotwe ke nna ke fentseng, ke fentse jang position e. Go raya gore ke lerato fela la ga Tautona le le mpeileng fa, jaanong ke tshwanetse gore ke dire sengwe le sengwe se a se batlang mo go nna.
The second Clause that demonstrates further gore we are a very limiting democracy, Clause 7 gives veto power to DIS gore fa e kare ke ntse ke ntse foo ramogona ke re ke Director General FIA, DIS e bo e ntsha setlankana kwa gore this guy no longer passes security classification, the post becomes vacant.

You are giving veto power to an organisation that the majority of Parliamentarians 24 Hansard No 204Monday 24th January, 2022FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE BILL, 2021 (NO.
34 OF 2021) Second Reading in this House ba setse ba buile gore that is a rogue organisation.

comes to financial issues.

PSP ga se gore o itse sengwe le sengwe ka dilo tsa finance, ga a itse sepe.

Still goes back to the appointment process, fa e ka bo e ne e le gore appointment eo e dirwa ke a team or committee, DIS will not have the power to produce a veto certificate and cause a vacancy in the office immediately.
Their report will have to go to some committee, e bo e lebelela report gore gatwe rre yo o sentse eng, e bo e le yone e ka tsayang tshwetso ya gore this person is no longer fit and proper to continue to occupy office ya Director General FIA.

That is the reason Your Honour, Leader of the House why I am saying Botswana is a primitive democracy.

You cannot give veto power to the DIS gore e re once fela they issue a certificate, somebody should lose their job and the position becomes vacant.
Ga ke dumalane le kgang eo Mr Speaker.

The third reason why I am saying Botswana is a primitive democracy, re santse re dumela mo positions tse gotweng di na le political power... HONOURABLE MEMBER: Clarification Mr Speaker.

MR SPEAKER: Clarification sought, His Honour the Leader of the House.

Akere o dumetse Kapinga?

MR KAPINGA: Nnyaa rra ga ke ise ke dumele, let me solidify my position.

MR SPEAKER: Sorry sir.


MR KAPINGA: I am going to Clause 8; gatwe Permanent Secretary to the President (PSP) ke ene a yang go tsamaisa the National Coordinating Committee on Financial Intelligence.

What is the reason and the justification of giving that position to the PSP?

If it were me, I would go for the Governor of the Bank of Botswana because that is the person who is at the top of our financial system in this country.
Ke ene ke neng ke ka mo tlhopha gore nnyaa re lebelele komiti e rra, o re sekasekele se Financial Intelligence Agency e se dirang, o bone gore are they doing their job to make our financial system as clean and of high integrity as it is required by the international community.

Yo PSP le mo tsenya fela ka gore ke morongwana wa lona yo o tlaa dirang dilo tse di sokameng, tse le batlang di diriwa jaaka le mo ntsentse le kwa Judicial Service Commission (JSC).

It is wrong.
It is wrong.

We should not believe that wisdom presides only kwa go bo PSP, Minister, President.

It is wrong.

I would have at least gone for the Governor of Bank of Botswana, ke lebile his specialist expertise when it The next issue still at Clause 8, ke gore gatwe office of General Council shall be the secretariat to the committee.

What is the justification?

Who is General Council when it comes to Financial Intelligence issues?

O tsena fa kae as General Council?


O tsenngwa fela ka gore he is from the Office of the President (OP)?

That is the only thing that I know.

You do not even think it is enough gore le bo le tsentse PSP mo teng, le tsentse Permanent Secretaries (PSs) tse dingwe mo teng.

You want to even put the General Council mo teng to do what?
The right people to be the secretariat of this committee is the Financial Intelligence Agency itself, ke bone ba tshwanetseng gore ba nne bakwaledi ba golo mo because they are responsible for that portfolio.

Ke itse dilo di tsamaisiwa jalo, e seng ga lona mo le batlang go go dira mo.

Ke ya kwa Clause 10; ke re to give such a power to a primitive democracy like ours is very dangerous.
Fa le ka gakologelwa, ka nako ya ditlhopho the leader of the BDP went public a supa bangwe a re ba batla go itira ditsuulodi mo lefatsheng la Botswana e bile ba na le information ya gore batho bao ba na le ditlhobolo, they want to become insurgents in this country.

It is there; the video is there and then you give the power to such people to declare others terrorists.

I fully agree with Ramogapi gore we will be handing a gun to somebody who is dangerous, le go iphula a ka nnang a iphula ka yone.
E bile nako eo ke yone e neng gape ga tsenngwa story mo dipampiring gotwe go na le coup nngwe e e eteletsweng pele ke maIsrael against the Government of His Excellency the President Eric Masisi, gotwe go na le thankgolo Mmuso nngwe e tlaa diriwang.

Fa e le gore batho ba ba ntseng jaana, ke bone ba ba eteletseng pele Puso, ga ke ka ke ka tshepha gore ba dirisa thata e in a responsible manner.
I would rather as a lawyer, choose gore this power or authority to declare somebody a terrorist should be given to a Judge of the High Court.

Mongwe a tle ka bosupi jwa gore re na le bosupi jwa gore rre yo o ntse a dira 1, 2, 3,4,5,6, re kopa gore Lekgotla la High Court to declare gore he is a terrorist.

That one will have credibility, rather than e dirwang ke Minister wa Goromente yo re mo itseng gore ga a tshephege, o itshupile gore ga a tshephege.
Sa bofelo Mr Speaker, ke batla go bua ke riana; o bona organisations tse di tshwanang le bo FIA jaana, they are dealing with sophisticated issues, ba dira dikgang tse di maretshwa.

Fa ba dira dikgang tse di maretshwa jaana, 25 Hansard No 204Monday 24th January, 2022FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE BILL, 2021 (NO.
34 OF 2021) Second Reading go botlhokwa thata gore batho ba ba hirwang teng, e bo e le ba ba rutegileng e bile ba rutetswe tiro, ba sugilwe thata go itebaganya le yone tiro e ya monitoring of money circulating in our country a tsena a tswa, ba rutilwe to a high degree Mr Speaker.

E bile ba rutilwe le kwa mafatsheng a sele a re itseng gore ba na le very sophisticated Financial Intelligence systems.
Re se ka ra tsaya mongwe le mongwe fela yo o fetang ka tsela, re mo tsaya fela ka gore yo e kare ke yo tshephegileng, ke yo re mo tshephang.

Re bo re mo fa maemo gore tsena o bereke mo Financial Intelligence Agency.

That is a specialised area Mr Speaker, very specialised area.

Ke na le tumelo ya gore fa re simolola re ne re ikgolola fela.

Re e dirile fela re ikgolola gore a re direng fela re tle re ba reyeng re re nnyaa re dirile Financial Intelligence Agency.
I believe that experience, maitemogelo a Goromente a a boneng since this organisation came into existence, ke dumela gore Honourable Tsogwane o lemogile le Goromente wa gagwe gore lephata le ga se sogwasogwane, ga se le o shankodisang fela o bo o re ke dirile Financial Intelligence Agency.
You need highly capable, highly educated, highly trained and highly exposed individuals, ba e leng gore they will be able to understand what is it that is going on with regard to our financial system in Botswana le mo mafatsheng a mangwe.
Ka mabaka one ao Mr Speaker, ka points tse ke di ntshitseng tseo, ke gone fa ke sa dumalaneng le molao o. Ga ke na pelaelo gore re le lefatshe la Botswana, go botlhokwa gore re bo re na le molao o o tiileng, o o nonneng, o o tlaa tlhomamisang gore madi a rona a lefatshe la Botswana ga a leswefale.

E bile ga re supiwe ke mafatshe a mangwe gore re butse kgoro, go itirelwa fela go rata le go kgona ke bao ba ba nang le madi a re sa itseng gore a tswa kae.
Ka mabaka a le kalo Mr Speaker, ke ntsha mabaka ao, gore ke one fela a ke sa dumalaneng le one mo molaong o. Fa nako e tlaa jaaka my colleague Honourable Tshere a buile, re tlaa tsenya our proposed amendments go dira gore molao o e nne wa maemo a a kwa godimo, a a sa supeng fa re santse re le a primitive democracy.

Ke a leboga Mr Speaker.

Thank you sir.

MR SPEAKER: Give me a second to liaise with my able staff.

I will be with yourselves Honourable Members.

However, I can confirm thumb suck gore the BDP’s list is exhausted.

We had six speakers from the ruling BDP.

So far on the board we have ba ba iseng ba bue; Honourable Mmolotsi, Honourable Lucas and Honourable Reatile.

It is right gore Honourable Mmolotsi is on the floor… MR TSOGWANE: Thank you Mr Speaker.

Ke batla gore we must remind ourselves of the agreement.

It is supposed to be eight BDP, four from opposition and two from the minority parties.

MR SPEAKER: Sorry Honourable Members.

MR MMOLOTSI: Thank you Mr Speaker.

Ke simolola ka go supa gore ga go a re siamela re le Palamente ya Botswana gore mo nakong ya gompieno, re bo re santse re taboga re dira dilo ka diamaramara.

O kare ga re na experts mo Botswana tse di ka nnang di sekaseka melao nako le nako go bona gore molao wa rona o ka tswa o bo o tlhaela eng, jalojalo.

Ke gakologelwa gore le mo Palamenteng e fetileng ya Bolesome, re ne re tswa masigo, re tswa phakela, e le gore re dira melao e ka lebaka la gore e re thudile.

Re ne re sa itse gore ke melao e e sa lekanang, e e tlhaelang golo gongwe.
E bo e le gore fa re setse re tsena mo mathateng re tloga re nna blacklisted kana grey listed, ke gone re iphitlhelang re le mo nakong e re tshwanelwang ke go taboga.

Ke dumela gore go ya kwa pele Mr Speaker, re tlaa tshwanelwa ke go nna le experts jaaka re na le tsone, tse di nnang di sekaseka melawana ya rona di e bapisa le ya mafatshe a mangwe.

Di e bapisa le requirements tsa makgotla a e leng gore we affiliate le one gore le rona re nne in control.

Re se ka ra nna re tabogile ka dinako tsotlhe.


E re fa o santse o re o buisa phuthego ya Kgotla, go bo gotwe o a batliwa kwa Palamenteng go na le Palamente ya Emergency.

Ga re a tshwanela go bereka ka emergency.

Golo mo Mr Speaker, ke dumela gore go tlhoka to plan, go ipaakanyetsa diemo, ke go palelwa ke go busa.

Nngwe ya ingredients tsa go busa mo go siameng ke gore e bo e le gore we plan for dilo tsotlhe and we are always ready go dira dilo sentle.
Having said that Mr Speaker, ke ne ke utlwa Mapalamente bangwe ba supa gore ba leboga Tautona Rre Masisi le Mma Serame gore ba bo ba ne ba baakanya molao gore re tswe mo thulaganyong ya blacklisting e re neng re le mo go yone.

Ke supe gore gone golo mo, ke gone mo go kopakopanyang dilo.

Mapalamente ba a itse gore Tautona le Minister of Finance ga se bone ba ba baakanyang molao.

Molao o baakanngwa ke Palamente.


Ba bo ba ema fa pele ga television ya setšhaba ba re ba lebogela Tautona le Minister of Finance gore ba bo ba baakantse molao, mme ba ntse ba itse gore ga se Tautona le Minister of Finance.

Paakanyo ya molao e dirwa ke Palamente.

Ke go supa fela gore re akantse go bua ka tsela e e ntseng jaana, gongwe go ka go thusa gore o bone maemo a a botoka mme o sa rute setšhaba boammaaruri.
Setšhaba se tshwanelwa ke go rutwa boammaaruri, se bolelelwe gore Palamente ke yone e e dirang molao mo lefatsheng la Botswana.

Molao ga o dirwe ke Tautona le Tona a le nosi.

OF MINISTER ASSISTANT LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT (MS MONNAKGOTLA): On a point of clarification Mr Speaker.

Ke a leboga Mr Speaker.

Ke utlwa motlotlegi a bua gore batlotlegi bangwe ba ne ba leboga Tona, e bile ba ne ba leboga Tautona.
Ke botse motlotlegi gore a mme o utlwile sentle kgotsa o tlhaloganya sentle gore, molao gore o tle kwa Palamenteng, o a bo o tswa go dirwa pele kwa lephateng lone leo, a bo e le gone re tlang go o debate mo Palamenteng?

Tanki Mr Speaker.

MR MMOLOTSI: Nnyaa Mr Speaker, ke dumela gore gongwe ke tswelele pele fela as if ga go a diragala sepe.

Ke tsene fela mo kgannyeng ya gore ke rata go dumalana le bakaulengwe ba babedi ba ba buileng, Motlotlegi Ramogapi le Honourable Kapinga.
Ba ba neng ba bua ka kgang ya gore Clause 10, jaaka e setse e supile, gatwe Minister can declare motho gore e nne a terrorist.

It does not matter gore go na le process e e ntseng jang.

Re a tlhaloganya gore mo Pusong ya BDP, bo Minister ba kgona gore ba dirise technocrats dilo fela tse di duleng mo tseleng.

Re a itse gore bo Ministers are capable go dira dilo fela tse di gakgamatsang.
Ke sone se ke leng motho wa bofelo go ka dumalana le ...(Interruptions)… gore gatwe Minister o ka neelwa dithata tsa to declare mongwe gore e nne terrorist ka gore ke a itse gore they are capable of anything.

Ke batho ba go tlaabong go tswa fela mo go reng ka nako eo, ba teilwe gotwe ke mang yo o tshwanelwang ke go dirwa eng.
Ka tsela e e ntseng jalo, fa ke lebile le ka fa Puso ya gompieno e tletseng boswele ka teng, go nna bokete go dumela gore ke ka neela Tona wa Puso ya Domkrag dithata tsa to declare mongwe gore e nne terrorist, ke ntse ke itse gore ba ka kgona gore ba dire sengwe le sengwe.
O tlaa gakologelwa gore ngwana mongwe o ntse a taboga kwa court, gotwe is charged ka terrorism mme e le gore kwa bofelong jwa letsatsi, re lemoga fa e le gore ke fa ba boetse charges tseo kwa morago, mme kana terrorism, punishment ya teng is capital.

Ke gore fa o bonwe molato wa gore o terrorist, o a bolawa.
So ka tsela e e ntseng jalo, gore ke letlelele gore molao o o fete, o bua dikgang tse di ntseng jaana, o a ntshosa ka gore ka fa ke bonang Goromente yo, Puso e e le swele ka teng, Batswana ba le ba ntsi ba ka nna declared terrorists.

E bile re a bona gore go na le ba ba alotsweng, ba e leng gore Goromente yo ga a ba batle, o lwa le bone.
Gongwe e bile maikaelelo a molao o, fa gongwe ga se sepe se se kalokalo, ke go sala bangwe morago gore go tle go dirisiwe molao o gore jaanong ba kgone go tshwarwa ka gore ke lebaka le le leele Goromente wa Domkrag a ntse a batla go ba dira terrorists, mme go sa kgonagale ka gore they are not ...(Interruptions)… So ka tsela e e ntseng jalo, I will not agree gore ke fetise molao o o rialong.

Ke tswelele gape ke re, ke a tshwenyega tota ka fa dikomiti tsa rona re di dirang ka teng, jaaka dikomiti le sub-committees tse di dirwang mo go Goromente, including this one.

Re tlaabo re na le thulaganyo e e tsepameng, e re itseng gore gatwe go tlhokiwa batho ba mofuta o o ntseng jaana le jaana.

Re a palelwa ka lebaka la gore batho ba re ba tsentseng mo go tsone ke ba ba neng ba sa di kgone, ba tsenyeditswe fela gore ke batho ba e leng gore ke maDomkrag jaaka rona.
Gape ke batla go dumalana le Honourable Kapinga gore, I would have preferred somebody else, and not that Honourable Kapinga has suggested Central Bank Governor, I think ke suggestion e gongwe ke ka tsamaya le yone ya gore, tota fela we know gore the Central Bank Manager or Governor ke ene yo e leng gore ditiro tse, o dira tiro e on daily basis, o tlhaloganya financial matters.
O tlhaloganya tse tsotlhe tse di tsamaelanang le madi, and therefore that particular person will probably be the right person gore re mo tsenye koo ka gore bo Permanent Secretary (PS) are administrative, ba neelwa maemo fa gongwe gotwe bo PS bo administrative fela they can run, mme ba sena understandings ya those particular areas.
In this particular case we are dealing with a highly specialised area, e e leng gore fa re batla gore tiro e e dirwe sentle re tshwanelwa ke gore re senke yo o tlaa yang go e tlhaloganya sentle ka botswerere, e se wa nkgosa kgosa.

Kwa bofelong jwa letsatsi re batla go direla lefatshe la Botswana tshiamo, mme fa re batla go direla Botswana tshiamo we need to engage the best and the brightest, gore ba kgone go tsamaisa itsholelo e, ba kgone go tsamaisa lefatshe le.
Fa re sa dire jalo re tlile go felela re ipona jaaka o bona gompieno jaana, e le gore ga go na se se tsamayang sentle, Goromente ke HONOURABLE MEMBER: Point of order Mr Speaker.

MR MMOLOTSI: Sengwe le sengwe se itsamaisa sesole… MR SPEAKER : Point of order, Honourable Mmolotsi, point of order supersedes all other points.
LEADER OF THE HOUSE (MR TSOGWANE): Mr Speaker, we agreed at the General Assembly after long struggle that we must manage our debate in such a manner that we are going to use option number three.

Now I can see that we are not even following what we have agreed upon.

If I may remind you Mr Speaker option three states that, there will be 14 speakers- ruling party nine, opposition four, minority one, speaking for 20 minutes.

That is option three that we have agreed with.


So with ruling party only six so far, but if we decide to save time as ruling party we can forego our three members.

So we are completely out of order.

We are completely out of order, if the list has been exhausted by the other parties then we must stop.

Mr Speaker, let us follow what we have agreed on.

That is my point of order.

Thank you.

HONOURABLE MEMBER: Letsatsi leno go ne gotwe we should not debate, o se ka wa lebala, o di bue tsotlhe.

Go raya gore BDP ka gore you decided gore le tlisa six le feletse gone foo.

The Opposition go dumalanwe five, so indeed Honourable Mmolotsi is the fifth Member of the Opposition.

Re tlaabo re ema ka Honourable Mmolotsi.


Ba bangwe ba ba kwadileng kwa morago ga ga Honourable Mmolotsi go raya gore ga ba yo mo palong.

Re ne re sa lebelela the slot until His Honour the VP queried.

So re ya go ema ka Honourable Mmolotsi and then we will call upon the Honourable Minister responsible for the chapter to respond to the debate.
