PROGRESSION OF ROAD ENGINEERS MR M. I. MOSWAANE (FRANCISTOWN WEST): asked the Minister of Transport and Communications to state: (i) the number of Roads Engineers on C1 salary scale at the ministry; (ii) the number of vacant posts of Senior Roads Engineer II, D4 salary scale; (iii) the longest serving Roads Engineer I on C1 salary scale and the reasons why the engineer could not progress to D4 salary scale; (iv) if he is aware that the ministry is losing engineers because of lack of progression; and (v) if he has ever considered and compared how engineers employed at the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development progress to higher salary scales, and if there is a difference, why the discrepancy.
OF TRANSPORT AND MINISTER COMMUNICATIONS (MR SEGOKGO): Ke a leboga Mr Speaker, ke a dumedisa.

Nte ke tsene mo potsong ya ga Honourable Moswaane.

(ii) There are no vacant positions of Senior Roads Engineer on D4 salary scale.

(iii) Mr Speaker, the period of the longest serving Roads Engineer on C1 salary scale is 10 years.

Reasons for lack of progression beyond C1 scale is primarily attributed to the unavailability of suitable vacant positions.
With respect to the individual in question, the main reasons for lack of progression to D4 salary scale is because he has been outperformed by others, especially that D4 positions are limited.

(iv) Mr Speaker, it may not be fair to attribute movement of staff from my ministry to other places for lack of progression unless such an analysis have been made.

In any case, personnel would usually change their places of work for various reasons.
(v) Mr Speaker, I am not aware of differences in progression between Central and Local Government Roads Engineers.

Tota ke yone karabo Mr Speaker.

MR MOSWAANE: Supplementary.

Thank you Mr Speaker.

Ke ne ke re ke botse Tona gore diphatlha tse a reng they are not vacant, fa a gakologelwa ba ka tswa ba di thibile leng ka gore di kile tsa tsaya lebaka di le vacant.

Ke re a ntlhalosetse gone foo.

Thank you so much.

MR SEGOKGO: Ke a leboga Mr Speaker.

Ga ke na karabo ya gore re ne ra thiba these vacancies leng Mr Speaker.

Karabo ya me fela ke gore gone mme ga re na diphatlha tseo, ke ka mmatlela gore re ne ra di thiba leng.
E nngwe, ga ke a re ga go maleba kana sepe jaaka a ne a bolela sa gore ke ka tshwantshanya, ga ke itse fa go na le dipharologanyo Mr Speaker.

Go ntse fela jalo, se se teng e bile tota potso e, ke e ke kileng ka e araba I think sometime in August, e botswa ke Dr Gobotswang.

Karabo eo e ntse ga e ise e fetoge sir.

PARR’S HALT/MAKWATE/SHAKWE ROADS (i) Mr Speaker, currently there are 27 Roads Engineers on C1 salary scale.
MR Y. BOKO (MAHALAPYE EAST): asked the Minister of Transport and Communications to state: 3 Hansard No 205Monday 14th February, 2022QUESTIONS FOR ORAL ANSWER (i) if he is aware that the Parr’s Halt/Makwate/ Machaneng and Parr’s Halt/Makwate/Shakwe Roads are key routes to connecting tourism destinations to the neighbouring Republic of South Africa; and if so, (ii) when these strategic roads will be tarred.

OF MINISTER AND COMMUNICATIONS (MR SEGOKGO): Ke a leboga Mr Speaker.
TRANSPORT (i) Mr Speaker, my ministry is aware that Parr’s Halt/ Makwate/Machaneng and Parr’s Halt/ Makwate/ Shakwe Road facilitate trade through movements of goods and services between Botswana and South Africa which by extension facilitate tourism.

(ii) Mr Speaker, it must be noted that upgrading of Makwate/Machaneng road to a bitumen standard was completed in December 2020.
However, my ministry does not have plans to upgrade the sections of Parr’s Halt to Makwate and Makwate to Shakwe as they are not currently included in the National Development Plan (NDP) 11.

My ministry will consider including these sections in NDP 12.

Parr’s Halt/Makwate/Shakwe is currently being graded quarterly, and it was last graded on 5th February 2022.

The plan going forward is to engage a contractor to carry out dry grading twice a month for a year.
The tender for the project is currently at the final stage of adjudication.

Ke a leboga Mr Speaker.

MR BOKO: Supplementary.

Thank you.

Honourable Minister, a mme o aware gore Parrs’ Halt-Makwate- Shakwe road was supposed to have been tarred ka National Development Plan (NDP) 10?

Everything was done, that is in relation to the design stage.

Number two, ba ne ba kgona to procure lentswe la teng la concrete.

They identified some borrow pits and soil tests were done.
Batho ba ba nnang mabapi teng, ba ne ba bolelelwa gore ba se ka ba nama ba aga pele fa tsela e neng e feta teng.

Madi a a neng a dirisitswe a ne a le mantsi for purposes ya go pega tender for the 44 kilometer road.

Sa bofelo ke gore a mme o a lemoga gore ke border e e critical ka gore e ka dirwa commercial to reduce congestion kwa Martin’s Drift?

Ke ne ke batla go botsa tse pedi fela di se ka tsa nna dintsi thata.
I am saying this because the border is the shortest route from Pretoria to central Botswana, o tswa fela jaana, o 4 ntse o ya kwa bo Kazungula.

E ka sologela lefatshe la rona mosola fela thata, e ka thusa go fokotsa traffic kwa border ya rona le Zambia gareng ga tse dingwe.

MR SEGOKGO: Thank you Mr Speaker.

Parrs’Halt/ Makwate/Shakwe; I am not aware actually gore it was in NDP 10, but ga ke ne ke dispute that.

The details that you provide, ga ke a di tshola, they are details that I would wish to verify.
Jaanong in respect of your second question sir, ya gore am I aware gore e ka nna a commercial border post, I do believe gore any border post potentially could be a commercial border post.

Kana dilo tse ke ditumalano tsa mafatshe a mabedi, so really it is something se ke tsayang gore would be subject to agreement between us and South Africa go ka dira jalo.

I do not doubt gore fa e le gore it is made a commercial border post that it would attract traffic.
Ga ke itse gore necessarily the ones tse di tswang from the bridge would opt for using that border as opposed to e e kwa Martin’s Drift.

Yes, if it is a commercial border post, it becomes available then to the traffic that is carrying freight.

Ke a leboga Mr Speaker.
PARLIAMENTARY MOTION ON TRANSPORTATION OF GOODS MR T. LETSHOLO (KANYE NORTH): asked the Minister of Transport and Communications: (i) to apprise this Honourable House on the implementation of the Parliamentary Motion to reserve transportation of goods within Botswana to citizens and 100 per cent citizen owned companies; and (ii) to explain the implication of South Africa’s decision to prohibit foreigners with foreign permits and licenses to drive transportation trucks in the Republic of South Africa.
OF MINISTER AND COMMUNICATIONS (MR SEGOKGO): Ke a leboga Mr Speaker.

TRANSPORT (i) Mr Speaker, my ministry, through the Department of Road Transport and Safety, is mandated to issue all types of road transport permits including freight transport permits.

Individual citizens and 100 per cent citizen-owned companies can apply for permits to transport goods in line with the provisions of the Road Transport (Permits) Act.
Hansard No 205Monday 14th February, 2022QUESTIONS FOR ORAL ANSWER Mr Speaker, I wish to appraise this Honourable House that, as I stated in my response to the Honourable Member’s part of the Motion the year before last year, requesting that this Honourable House “resolves that the local distribution, courier and transportation of goods in Botswana be reserved for 100 per cent citizen owned companies, ” I am pleased to share that my ministry has already forwarded to Attorney General’s Chambers (AGCs) a draft for the review of Road Transport (Permits) Act with the provision for Cabotage and Third Country Rule as promised.
yone, go fitlhelela gompieno, lephata le dirile eng?

What specific actions have been done or executed to date?

Sa bobedi ke kope gore a re tlhalosetse gore ka o bua ka go buisana le batsayakarolo ba bangwe, dipuisano tsa bone di ya go tsaya lebaka le le kae?

Re solofele gore tshwetso ya Palamente e tlaabo e diragaditswe ka nako efe?

La bofelo Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo, a re tlhalosetse gore totatota kwa ntleng ga go buisana le batsayakarolo, se se tlhokafalang gore se dirwe ke eng?
What actions do they need to undertake for this Motion to be implemented in its fullest?

Ke a leboga.

Mr Speaker, with regard to policy on reservation of the transportation of goods within Botswana to citizens and 100 per cent citizen owned companies, my ministry and that of Investment, Trade and Industry are yet to consult on the matter, so that in implementing the Motion, we do not conflict any regional trade Agreement/Protocol that Botswana may have ratified.
(ii) Mr Speaker, with respect to Honourable Member’s second question, I would like to indicate that South Africa is a sovereign state with jurisdiction to enact laws and regulations from time to time to govern its local transport industry in the manner it deems fit and desirable within its borders.
As such, Botswana as a neighbour to South Africa, we are limited in terms of influencing how they would prefer to regulate their local transport industry, particularly with respect to the employment of truck drivers.
Mr Speaker, I wish to also share with this Honourable House that, as far as we are concerned, Government does not have the number of Batswana citizens permanently employed in the local trucking industry in South Africa save to say only those who transport goods on transit and loading and off-loading basis which in my view will not be affected by the development in South Africa.
However, should there be any Batswana citizens employed as resident truck drivers in South Africa, they would be very few and by implication, it would mean they would lose their employment, following the decision to prohibit foreigners with foreign permits and licences to drive transportation trucks in the Republic of South Africa and the impact on the Batswana drivers will be minimal.

I thank you Mr Speaker.

MR SEGOKGO: Ke a leboga Mr Speaker.


Tota ya ntlha ke jaaka ke ne ke leka go tlhalosa gore re ne re ntse re bereka mo paakanyong ya molao, mme re isa kwa AGCs.

MR LETSHOLO: Thank you Honourable Speaker.

I know gore gongwe ga a na gore a re nako o ka tsaya e e kae, but what is his target date for the ultimate implementation of the Motion?
Secondly, what specific actions need to happen between now and that target date?

If you are implementing something like this, you need some sort of a project plan, you know you need to do a, b, c, d, e, for the Motion to be implemented.

What are those things and when are they going to be completed so that we can expect the implementation?
MR SEGOKGO: In reality tota Honourable Letsholo ke bua boammaaruri, ga ke na that target date as yet ka gore ke ne ke eletsa gore se re se kopileng kwa AGs, se boe kwa go bone re tle re se beye sentle fa pele ga Khuduthamaga, e bo e le gone go ka tsewang ditshwetso tsa gore re sutelela kwa pele ka dipaakanyo tseo tsa molao.

• Internal roads le tsone di re apesitse kobo ka letshoba.
If I invite you to Kanye one of the days just go past the circle as you enter Kanye you will see an area there called Mhiko.

Mr Speaker when they go to work in the morning, driving out, fa ba boa in the afternoon there is a fence where there was a road, because there are no internal roads.

So that is just an example of the desperation that is there in so far as internal roads are concerned.
Honourable Speaker but I also just upfront want to take the opportunity to join my colleagues in congratulating Honourable Serame on her maiden Budget Speech as the Minister of Finance and Economic Development.

Honourable Speaker, I think that this is a privileged moment that forces us as a nation to pause and reflect with a strong sense of pride on the many brilliant women who have come even before Honourable Serame as Cabinet members.
Mr Speaker the likes of Dr Gaositwe Chiepe, Mme Kebatshabile Disele, Mme Lesego Motsumi, Dr Margaret Nasha, Mme Joy Phumaphi, Mme Moggie Mbaakanyi, Professor Sheila Tlou, Mme Pelonomi Venson, Mme Botlogile Tshireletso, Mme Dorcas Makgato, Mme Bogolo Kenewendo and numerous others.

I want to take this moment to pay tribute to these honourable women who have emphatically demonstrated the ability of women to serve as brilliantly as their male counterparts.
My humble appreciation and respect goes to these diligent forebearers of our shining democracy Honourable Speaker.

Mr Speaker, I also just want to take a moment to commend our Government for making Botswana the only country in southern Africa with a stable outlook from rating agencies.

I appreciate that the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) grey listing was removed in the latter part of 2021 and look forward to the European Union (EU) removing its blacklisting.
Honourable Speaker, I am also extremely proud that at least 80 per cent of Botswana’s eligible population has been vaccinated against COVID-19, rendering Botswana as one of the countries in southern Africa with the highest vaccination rates.

Mr Speaker, I have in the past joined the call for the dualling of the A1 road from Ramatlabama to Ramokgwebana, I further pleaded that it be named 11 Hansard No 205Monday 14th February, 2022APPROPRIATION (2022/2023) BILL, 2022 (NO.
2 OF 2022) Second Reading (Resumed Debate) after one of Botswana’s preeminent statesman, His Excellency the late President Q. K. J. Masire.

I was utterly pleased to hear the Minister confirm that the road will indeed be so developed and I am hopeful that the name will also be adopted.
Mr Speaker this honourable House will note that in so far as Former Presidents are concerned His Excellency the late President Sir Seretse Khama already has the honour of a highway named after him, this road being the Jwaneng-Kanye road, which is called the Sir Seretse Khama Highway.

Mr Speaker notwithstanding the illation over the A1 Highway I wish it to be known that other roads which may be considered to be small still also need attention and financial investment.
In Kanye North, as I mentioned a short while ago, the tarring of the Magotlhwane-Tshweneyagae road is much more than urgent.

There is also a huge desperation regarding internal roads across the constituency.

Jaaka ke ne ke bua ke re ba Mhiko bone ba mpeile lengole fela o sehubeng.

Honourable Speaker, I would like to confirm that I accept that COVID-19 has had a significant if not devastating impact on Botswana and indeed globally.
Notwithstanding, I am of the view that there is a likely overemphasis on COVID-19 that runs across both the budget strategy paper and the Budget Speech itself.

This I believe is an overinflating and speaks to inadequate research and data analysis by our own researchers, especially considering that even before the rollout of the vaccines Botswana had one of the lowest infection rates in the world at less than 10 per cent and an even lower death rate at about 0.1 per cent.
Mr Speaker, I therefore hazard that the real impact of COVID-19 came not from deaths or a decline in population, hospitalisation, or productivity, but from the effect of limited tourism and limited mining activities.

We have been affected by the global response to COVID-19 which curtailed international travel and diamond demand.

On this highlight is our narrow economic base as well as our total dependence on minerals and to a slightly lesser extent tourism.
The most important aspect of the Budget Speech from my perspective therefore was Section 13 which talked about the need for deep structural reform of the Botswana economy.

This was an issue even way before COVID-19 and remains an issue to date.

Honourable Speaker, it is evident now more than ever that our needs are growing and our budget is under significant pressure.
I agree with the Minister that as a matter of urgency we need to introduce robust and innovative ways to increase revenue and to reduce the expenditure bill.

Honourable Speaker, Government and all of us as the leadership of the country need to be exemplary on this call to reduce wasteful expenditure.

For illustration purposes the Executive needs to be seen to play an active role by amongst other things considering the use of one official vehicle instead of two.
Together with senior civil servants, they could stop the use of Government or official vehicles for picking up their children from school, for attending weddings or funerals.

Naturally Honourable Speaker, this would also reduce the overtime claimed by their drivers.

HONOURABLE MEMBERS: …(Murmurs)… MR LETSHOLO: Honourable Members of Parliament (MPs) also have the real opportunity of leading and demonstrating the country’s belt tightening initiative.
Parliament can be more efficient Mr Speaker, in the conduct of its business.

It is a little strange to me that all 44 members of the ruling party in Parliament get an opportunity to debate for 45 minutes each and for a total of 33 hours Mr Speaker, a State of the Nation Address (SONA) that was delivered by the leader of our party, when we naturally are aligned and agree with his report back.

This Mr Speaker, also apply to other Government Business and Bills.
I cannot help but wonder, what if the Delimitation Commission increases the number of constituencies and MPs, even more time will go into this, attracting increased sitting allowances and other associated expenditure.

This Mr Speaker, to me seems inefficient and is incongruent with the spirit of reducing costs.
Honourable Speaker, on this one I stand to be corrected but my understanding is that in other countries such as the neighbouring county of South Africa, the ruling party MPs do not respond to the SONA, only a limited number of opposition MPs respond to the SONA and then the President respond to their debate.

This I think is efficient and is worthy of emulation in the spirit of reducing costs.
Honourable Speaker, just as a last point of illustration on this point, is that we all remembered the public outcry after MPs lived at Avani Hotel in Gaborone, while their official residences were being refurbished.

This was 12 Hansard No 205Monday 14th February, 2022APPROPRIATION (2022/2023) BILL, 2022 (NO.
2 OF 2022) Second Reading (Resumed Debate) inevitable Honourable Speaker, but it is not clear why the residences must be refurbished every five years, while MPs get to stay in hotel rooms that have slept different people for more than five years, and the rooms themselves have not been refurbished for more than 10 years.

In the same way Honourable Speaker, that these hotels carry out their maintenance on an ongoing basis and without closing shop.
I suggest that Parliament embarks on a regular and ongoing maintenance of the Parliamentary apartments so that the need for hotel accommodation is eliminated.

Again, all just in the spirit of saving costs.

Mr Speaker, as an answer to the challenge of increasing Government revenue streams, the Budget Speech and the Budget Strategy Paper talk of taxing Batswana even more through increased tax collection and the tax net and revision of user fees and service charges.
Honourable Speaker, taxing Batswana more and mortgaging our children’s future by taking on more debt is just untenable.

Batswana are already overburdened with new taxes, levies and cost of services introduced over the last two years.

Yes, we need more revenue but we cannot keep taxing Batswana as a means to grow revenue.

It is unfair on our citizens Mr Speaker.


In fact, these actions have resulted according to what the Minister said in inflation going over the threshold prescribed by the Bank of Botswana, that of 3 to 6 per cent for inflation, reaching about 8.7 per cent.

So ironically Mr Speaker, Government policies have resulted in the Government violating its own policies.

This I think is tragic.


Mr Speaker, notwithstanding, as a way for Government to increase its revenue claims, one cannot help but wonder why is Government not taking up the 15 per cent “right of first refusal” for every mining venture in Botswana?

Honourable Speaker, we declined to take up 15 per cent of Lucara and Khoemacau!

Yet the Budget Strategy Paper talks about how lucrative these mining ventures are, especially Khoemacau.
If we owned even 15 per cent of these mines Mr Speaker, we would have had at least two more Debswanas on our books, all pumping in revenue.

Honourable Speaker, another opportunity to increase Government revenue lies in urgent and long overdue reforms in the road sector.

I am delighted to have heard the Minister earlier talking about revising the Road Traffic Act.

Mr Speaker, our investment in our road networks such as the Trans-Kalahari highway must be met with a stronger return on that investment.
The majority of the trucks on the Trans-Kalahari Highway Honourable Speaker, I believe more than 90 per cent of those from Lobatse Pioneer Gate straight to Mamuno Border Gate are Namibian and South African trucks, yet we get very little by way of fees from them.

Botswana Mr Speaker, is the cheapest country in the SADC region for road fees with respect to foreign goods trucks.
To illustrate the point, on average, for every foreign truck that is charged P500 in Botswana, a foreign registered truck will be charged approximately P15 000 in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), P13 000 in Zambia, P5000 in Zimbabwe and P2000 in Namibia.

I therefore suggest Mr Speaker, an immediate review of the Botswana rates in order to increase Government revenues to contribute to cost recovery and continue to enable ongoing roads infrastructure maintenance.
other nations Honourable Speaker, including neighbouring countries have achieved what I am proposing by transitioning from Department of Roads into Roads Agencies or Roads Boards.

The more commonly known one in our region is the South African National Roads Agency SOC Ltd, in short, SANRAL.

It has been set up as a state-owned entity responsible for the management, maintenance and development of South Africa National Road Network.
On this basis Mr Speaker, I then propose that as a matter of urgency, we evolve the Department of Roads into a Roads Agency similar to SANRAL, through which we can reduce the burden on the national fiscus of roads construction and maintenance through increased and modern collections.
The House will remember Honourable Speaker, that many years ago and for similar reasons, what I believe used to be called the Department of Taxes and Exercise, evolved to what is now called the Botswana Unified Revenue Service (BURS) and this resulted in improved tax collection efficiencies and increased revenue for Government.
Mr Speaker, it is commendable to hear that agreements have been concluded for power generation projects to be implemented in the current year using the PPP (Public Private Partnership) model.

Private Finance and Development Agency Finance is in support of this Honourable Speaker, and we need to jump into the clean energy bandwagon and benefit more before fatigue catches up with the world and something else.
The Botswana Energy Regulatory Authority (BERA) Mr Speaker, should be at the forefront of this development and liberalise the energy sector.

BERA’s role cannot, and 13 Hansard No 205Monday 14th February, 2022APPROPRIATION (2022/2023) BILL, 2022 (NO.

2 OF 2022) Second Reading (Resumed Debate) should not be to protect the Botswana Power Corporation (BPC).

As I said in my response to the Budget Speech in the year 2020 Mr Speaker, and I quote, “BPC monopoly hurts consumers.
We are beholden to BPC standards, for example power outages and more recently price hikes.

There is no option to opt out and use other vendors as none exist at the moment.

BPC must face competition to stand or fall on the basis of their product and services.” Mr Speaker, Members will recall that in the early stages of the development of the telecommunications industry, Government seems to be focused on protecting Botswana Telecommunication Corporation (BTC).
When it eventually dawned on Government to allow the industry to develop, Government then enabled other operators to use the BTC backbone through Botswana Fibre Networks (BoFiNet) at a cost of course.

BERA needs to do the same and push for the liberalisation of the energy sector by enabling independent power producers to use the current BPC backbone, again at a cost which will be regulated by BERA.
In that context Honourable Speaker, BERA ought to already immediately desist from empowering BPC to the disadvantage of other producers.

Why should BPC be handling the tenders for power purchase agreements for solar energy?

BPC Mr Speaker, is a competitor to the solar energy producers, just like in the past when you look at BTC, it was seen as the competitor and it is still a competitor to Mascom and Orange.
Similarly Mr Speaker, and on this same note, I heard the Minister of Mineral Resources, Green Technology and Energy Security on radio recently, essentially he is facilitating and justifying price increases of electricity by BERA and BPC.

Mr Speaker, I hold a slightly different view on this one.

I think the Minister’s primary role ought to be to enable affordable energy for citizens, affordable electricity for Batswana.

Honourable Speaker, affordable energy will enable stronger economic activity.
The Minister does not have to protect BPC; he must protect the ordinary Motswana.

He must guard and protect the cost of electricity to the consumer at all cost, of course in a sustainable manner that also ensures consistency of supply.

The continuous price increases are undesirable, and seem to merely serve the purpose of financing BPC’s largesse.

HONOURABLE MEMBER: Clarification.

MR LETSHOLO: Ke tlaa go neela wa ga mma, ema pele motsotsonyana.
Honourable Speaker, we have of recent times enjoyed hearing that Okavango Diamond Company (ODC) is doing very well with sales revenues about to surpass the P10 billion mark.

On that basis, I reiterate again what I said in 2021 budget speech response that, again I quote Honourable Speaker.

“The diamond industry is shifting, and so should our approach.

With only a few years left before the end of mine for a number of our mines, we should seek to maximize the value extracted.
The setup of the ODC was a stroke of genius which must be supported, harnessed and leveraged.” In that context, the 15 per cent allocation to ODC should be increased and increased significantly.

Honourable Speaker, one cannot help but notice that our partner De Beers does not seem to have many mines, but simply makes money through the application of their expertise and experience.
More than 50 years since the establishment of Debswana and the development of local expertise in diamond mining, I propose that the Botswana Government establishes its own diamond company outside of and to the exclusion of De Beers and possibly form joint ventures with the rest of the world, utilising the knowledge accumulated by Botswana citizens since the year 1966.
This will enable Botswana to create revenues from our experience and expertise in diamond extraction, sorting, valuing etcetera, even after we run out of diamonds in the next couple of years, we will be able to earn revenue from that expertise and skills.

Honourable Speaker, we have to deal with the matter of the Depletion of Accumulated Savings and how will we build them up again.

It appears that one of the main tools that Government wants to use is tax collection.
We await the outcomes of the ongoing tax universe and tax gap analysis to guide where resources should be directed in so far as improving efficient tax collection is concerned.

I believe that the analysis will reveal that the biggest issue is not so much Value Added Tax (VAT) but the biggest tax gap is income tax evasion and externalization of funds.

However, when this study done and if done if so confirmed, then that is where BURS should focus its resources.
The second Honourable Speaker, is reducing the Government wage bill and making Government more efficient.

This wage bill issue has become a rhetoric, something to refer to as a concern without clear action towards reducing it.

It should be unacceptable to hear a repetition of this year on year.

Without specific targets, 14 Hansard No 205Monday 14th February, 2022APPROPRIATION (2022/2023) BILL, 2022 (NO.
2 OF 2022) Second Reading (Resumed Debate) such as reducing the wage bill by 20 percent as an example, this is meaningless.

Reducing funding to State Owned Enterprises (SOE) is also problematic as only a few of them are commercial, and if they are asked to be self-sufficient, they could simply raise prices that they extent to their consumers.

Again, the big issue is how much savings are we targeting?
We need a clear target again as an example to say “by reducing SOE funding, we will save Government X Millions.” Mr Speaker, with respect to rebuilding the Government Investment Account (GIA), there is need to focus more and achieve a level of clarity.

The GIA can only be rebuilt if we have surpluses.

If we have deficits and are taking on more debt, we cannot rebuild the GIA.

The only real way out of this is to change our thinking.
We have to stop trying to cut up the same cake into smaller pieces and asking Batswana to accept a smaller slice.

We need to focus on making the whole cake larger.

The real question from where I sit is, how does Government increase its revenue to allow not only sustainable running of Government, but to allow for savings for future generations who, unfortunately unlike us, will not have easy cash flows from diamonds?

This is the real question.


I want to posit an answer to this Mr Speaker which is (1) we should give mining assets to MDCB to optimise.

(2) Allow BDC to operate as a proper Sovereign Wealth Fund.

(3) Start the Diamond Future Fund that takes a small percentage of all diamond revenues and puts them into a Fund for future use, not to fund deficits.

Every serious nation from Norway to Singapore has gone this route, and they have done so successfully.

Norway did this with respect to their oil reserves.
Now they have no more oil reserves, but future generations can live off the interest on their Future Fund.

Their website reports that Norway’s oil fund is one of the world’s largest funds, and has a small stake in more than 9 000 companies worldwide, including the likes of Apple, Nestlé, Microsoft and Samsung.

Where is our Sovereign Wealth Fund, and I am not talking about the Pula Fund, I am talking about Sovereign Wealth Fund that can generate and store wealth for future generations?
This in my view has to be a real priority for Government, especially in this era.

Mr Speaker, I have in the past talked about the massive and probable risk of youth agitation due to rising unemployment and inactivity.

So many of our young people are out of work, they are disillusioned, very angry and turning into violent means to express their frustrations.

Idle hands and a sense of alienation is driving high levels of substance abuse and violent crime.
They have been promised the Botswana Dream: “Go to school, get a good job, buy a piece of land and live happily ever after.” This is far from reality.

Education does not equal employment, and businesses opportunities are locked out by foreign nationals at some of whom have localised.

I think we dare not miss the opportunity to signal to young people that we have the capacity and determination to implement strategies to turn our joint futures around.
Young people in Kanye North have not been spared, yet our young people in general are ill-equipped to start new businesses.

We need a fundamental redesign of our education system to teach our people to start businesses at a young age; to see opportunities, to be self-reliant, to break barriers, accountability, self-drive, risk taking; all the attributes of an entrepreneur.

Building a culture and spirit of entrepreneurship is a long term game, and the best time, although late, is really to start now.
Honourable Speaker, we noticed during COVID-19 lockdowns that movement restriction is a significant risk for Botswana.

We nonetheless have opportunity to innovate around this.

A trend is emerging worldwide where people are moving to less costly countries to do their work remotely while living in another country.

Botswana should be thinking about issuing short to long term permits for people to live and work out of Botswana notwithstanding where their jobs are.
While living here, they will spend on accommodation, transport, entertainment and pay taxes in Botswana.

It is time that we rethink our immigration strategy to meet these new opportunities and the emergent challenges.

As I move to a point of conclusion Honourable Speaker, somebody once said to me, “do not tell me your strategy.
Show me your budget and I will know your strategy.” Our current budget has the opportunity to reflect a clear path out of the desert for Batswana, one that involves them, one that challenges them and one that demands the best of them.

Our people deserve a budget that solves real problems for Batswana, and that is steadfastly focused on our vision of prosperity for all in 2036.

15 Hansard No 205Monday 14th February, 2022APPROPRIATION (2022/2023) BILL, 2022 (NO.
2 OF 2022) Second Reading (Resumed Debate) I therefore want to take this opportunity to urge the leadership to accelerate the development of our long term transformation strategy that charts a clear path to Vision 2036.

While we will certainly face challenges along the way, having a clear strategy and a roadmap allows us to respond to these challenges with the confidence that we are not sacrificing short term gains for long term prosperity.
Our national strategy will become a guiding light for all players; Government, business, youth, civic society and all others to march with unity and determination into the year 2036 and into prosperity for Batswana.

Ga re itse gore fa Puso e latlhelela dikago tsa rona, e sena a proper maintenance plan ya dikago, re ka tswelela jang ra isa ditlamelo kwa bathong.

Ke kopa Matona a a lebaneng, le ene Tona wa Madi le Tlhabololo Itsholelo, a netefatse gore madi a a filweng maphata a otlhe a dirisiwe ka kelelelo, a fetole matshelo a batho.

Fa o solofetsa motho wa Ngamiland gore tsela ya lona e ya go dirwa ka PPP model, o bona o sa mo solofetsa sepe.

Ga go na sepe se o se mo neetseng gore Private Partnerships tse o di boneng ke dife.

Ga ke itse gore a Lephata la Botsogo ga le ise le nne le madi a go netefatsa gore tse di tlhokiwang mo unit ele to function di a dirwa.
Dilo tse, Tona yo o lebaneng le wena yo o ntshang madi le netefatse gore dilo tse di a dirwa.

Kgang ya bofelo Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente ka nako e a sia, ke ya thuto.

Mo maitlamong a rona a UDC, re dumela gore thuto ke tshwanelo ya motho.

Thuto ke the best equaliser mo lefatsheng ka bophara.

Thuto ga e a tshwanela go rekisediwa ope.

Puso ga e a tshwanela go rekisetsa batho ba yone thuto because it is a human right and education transforms life.
Ke boikarabelo jwa Puso jo bo tona go ruta batho.

Mr Speaker, access to education must be matched with quality, ke gone thuto e ka tswelang batho ba yone mosola mme e sa rekisiwe.

Ke gore fa ke bua jaana, I am against the policy e Tona a batlang go e dira ya gore batho ba duele bontlha bongwe jwa thuto.

Ba re, people should be given free education.

Se re tlhalosang ke gore, education must be free and compulsory at all the levels.

Ga e a tshwanela go rekisediwa batho ba yone.

Barutabana ba hirwe.


Jaaka go setse go builwe, re solofeditswe 3500 and something, temporary teachers ba tshwanetse gore ba hirwe ba duelwe sentle.

Ke batla go sia jaana ke e amanyana le yone ya improvement of public service and productivity.

Fa o hira batho o bo sa ba duele, ga ba ka ke ba kgona go ntsha ga tshwene.

Re tshwanetse gore re duele babereki, e seng go akanya go fokotsa bo scarce skills allowance.
We should review the whole pay structure sa badirelapuso ba rona re bone gore what is the best pay for all the civil servants.

Ga o ka ke wa re o ne o file batho scarce skills gompieno o bo o re o ya go di ntsha, you are going to affect their morale and motivation.

E bile ka fa ba neng ba tshela ka teng, fa o simolola o fokotsa fela kana o se ntsha, o dira mathata.
Se se teng ke go baakanya dituelo tsa babereki o netefatsa gore ba duelwa sentle e bile ga o tlhophe gore yo ke wa scarce skills, yo ga se wa sone.

O ba neela pay or salary e e nang le boleng jaaka re ne re bua mo manifesto wa rona wa UDC gore go tshwanetse ga nna le decent jobs and decent lives.

Fa o tla ka ditiro tse di senang seriti, batho ga ba dire ka tlhoafalo.

Se se botlhokwa is to merge what they are doing; those that are a duplication of duty le tse dingwe tse o bonang gore tse dingwe ga re sa tlhole re di tlhoka, maphata a Puso a teng a tlaa tswelela a dira tiro e e neng e tlhokwa ke those things.
Dilo tse Motsamaisa Dipuisanyo tsa Palamente, ke tsone tse di ka re thusang go betla ditiro le go bona gore budget ya rona e itebagantse le se re se tlhokang, e seng to finance corruption e e tlhoafetseng e e kanakana.

Ke mo kope ke mo reye ke re ke lebogela gore Tautona Masisi o ne a mo tlhopha gore e nne Tona yo o re tshwarelang madi, ke sa itse gore fa a tlhophiwa a mme e ne e le on the basis ya meritocracy kana lepe lebaka fela ka gore go itshupile gore mo Pusong ya ga Domkrag ga go dirisiwe meritocracy.

Ke mo reye ke re tlaabo re ntse re mo lebile re bona gore a mme o tlaa dira sone se e leng gore re batla gore a se dire, not because she is a woman but because o mo position yone ele, o na le bokgoni jo e leng gore re a bo tlhoka.

I do not expect her to be sing-along like other Ministers of the past.

Ga ke solofele gore she will be a sing-along Minister.

I will be greatly disappointed in her.


I expect her at times to look President Masisi on the face and tell him, “I am not taking this road.” This is what I expect from her.
I expect her at some point in time to say, “I do not agree with the direction that you guys want to take and I step down.” History will not remember her as a woman yo o neng a le mo ofising ya tsa madi, e tshwanetse gore e mo gakologelwe e le motho kana Tona yo o ileng a tla ka some transformations, sengwe se sešha se se neng se ntse se seyo; yo o ileng a fetola lewa kana seemo se se neng se lebega se sa siama.

That is how history should remember.


It should not remember her as a Minister wa motho wa mme yo o neng a tshwere sepatšhe sa lefatshe.

I expect her to be decisive; the ability to make decisions quickly and effectively.

This is what I expect from her and I challenge her to do just that.

I have stated before Mr Speaker, I do not like sing-along myself.

I do not like ba e reng fa pina e tlhabeletswa ba bo ba e opela ka gore gatwe e tlhabeleditswe ke Tautona kana mongwe fela yo mogolwane.

Mr Speaker, re reeditse Tona mo malatsing a a fetileng fa a re baya pego mme santlha o ne a tlhalosa gore o file Lephata la Botsogo madi go gaisa maphata a mangwe.

Re lebogela seo ka gore issues tsa botsogo mo lefatsheng la rona di ntse di tshwenya fela thata, go simolola fela ka go tlhoka dikokelo mo mafelong a a farologaneng mo lefatsheng le la Botswana.

Re solofela gore mo mading a a tlaabong a ntshiwa a re tlaabong re dumalana le one, go tlaa nna le phetogo ka seemo sa botsogo mo lefatsheng la Botswana ka kakaretso.

Mr Speaker, rona kwa kgaolong ya rona re lela thata ka dikgang tsa botsogo, segolo jang mo go bomme.
Bomme ba kgona go tswa kwa motseng o bidiwa gotwe Makwate and I think it is over 50 or 60 kilometres go goroga kwa sepateleng sa Mahalapye se se belegisang mme ba tsamaya mo tseleng e e leng gore is gravel.
Kgantele ke boditse Tona potso ka tsela yone ya Parr’s Halt e e tswang fela kwa Makwate e ya go lomagana (join) le ya Machaneng, ba dirisa tsela yone e fa gongwe mme a le mo ditlhabing a tsamaya ka koloi ka gore ga ba na madi a go reka dikoloi tse e leng gore gongwe bo Tona ba tsamaya ka tsone tsa lebelo, maikaelelo e le go ya go belegela gone kwa Mahalapye.
Tona, ke re gongwe le ba akanyetse le bone batho ba motse wa Makwate gore gongwe clinic e ba nang nayo e ka se ke ya atolosiwa (expanded) gore ba tle ba kgone go belegisetsa mo go yone.

Go feta le gone foo, gongwe e theogele bosigo botlhe e sa tswale.

Not only that, e nne le baoki ka gore mo nakong ya gompieno, baoki ba ba nnang ba le teng ba nna ba fapaanafapaana, ga ba kgone go ka emelana le dipalo tse dintsi tsa batho ba Makwate ba ba tlhokang thusa ya bongaka, Tona.

Ga se gone fela, mafelo a mantsi a a tlhokanang le go ka thusiwa ka dikgang tsa go baakanyetswa clinics kana go agelwa clinics mo lefatsheng ka bophara.

O tlaa ša.

HONOURABLE MEMBER: …(Inaudible)… MR SPEAKER: Let us have order please.

Standing Order 58.11 ya re le buisane ka tlotlo Batlotlegi Mapalamente ka le a tlotlega.

Fa ke le fa, ke reeditse gone gore le buisana ka yone tlotlo eo, le wena Motlotlegi Motsamai, ke batla gore o tlotlwe, le wena o tlotle ba bangwe.
Motlotlegi Mopalamente wa Mahalapye Botlhaba, tswelela ka kgang ya gago honourable, fa e le gore ga o ise o fetse.

MR BOKO: Mr Speaker, ke lebogela Tona gore a bo a kgonne go lemoga gore nnyaa mme dikgang tsa tablets in public schools, ke golo mo go kgonagalang.

Ka 2019 fa manifesto wa rona o ne o tlhalosa, o bua dikgang tse, ba ne ba re re bua diphirimisa, ditsiabadimo, re bua dilo tse di sa kakeng tsa kgonega.
Jaanong go a supafala gore nako ya teng e ne e le go ka leka go ithatisa ga bone, dilo tse di a kgonafala.

Re a go leboga Tona, re re re batla go bona these tablets kwa dikoleng tsa rona.

Bana ba rona ba di dirisa ka gore gompieno re setse re bua ka 37 Hansard No 205Monday 14th February, 2022APPROPRIATION (2022/2023) BILL, 2022 (NO.

2 OF 2022) Second Reading (Resumed Debate) the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR).

We would attain that fa e le gore jaanong le tsone tablets di teng mo dikoleng tsa rona.
Bana ga ba sa tlhola ba belega dibeke tse di tonatona di ba bolaya le yone mekwata.

Re a go leboga fela thata ka kgang yone eo.

ba sa bolo go nna dingwaga tse di kanakana mo Phase 2 Mahalapye mme ba sa kgone go ka gokelelwa metsi mme Mahalapye e le motse o o kana.

Ke tsaya ke re gongwe dilo tse Tona, re tlaa di bona di diragala mo nakong e khutshwane.

Ga se yone fela, le gompieno re utlwile le bua ka creation of jobs, le ipha target, it is a good thing.
Re sale re buile ka 100 000 jobs, and it appears like it can be more than that.

Re a leboga gore nnyaa mme go raya gore you have woken up from boroko le lefifi le le ntseng le le mo go lone.

A target is important, mme ke kopa gore le dire go gaisa jaaka le buile.

Le tlhalositse gore le ya go hira bana ba rona ba le kae kwa dikoleng.
Ke kgang e ke ntseng ke bua ka yone ke re, go nna le ntse le todinyatodinya le e fa ngwana three months, fa gongwe le mo tsaya le mo isa kwa Maun a tswa kwa Mahalapye, kana le mo isa kwa Goodhope a tswa kwa Serowe, mme e le three months, ga go botlhale golo ga teng.

It does not make sense.

Fa e le sengwe ba feng dikonteraka tsa ngwaga gona le gore o mo fe three months.
Kana ngwana yo o simolola pele a tsaya truck e e mo isetsang dilwana gone kwa go ya go nna dikgwedi tse tharo fela, e bo e boa e di busa, le dilwana tsa bone di setse di senyegile ka mabaka one a go nna le ntse le ba tlhotlhomisa lefatshe le lotlhe ka contracts tsa bo three months.

Golo ga teng ke batla go bua boammaarui, ga go na botlhale mo teng, ga go supe fa re akanya.

Go supa go santse go na le leshekere la dikakanyo jaaka ke setse ke kile ka tlhalosa go le pele.
Tona, ke tsaya ke re kgang e re tlaa e lebelela ka fa ke neng ke ntse ke bua ka teng.

Kgang ya lefatshe Mr Speaker, re buile thata ka yone.

Mo pegong yame nngwe le nngwe, ke nna ke bua ka yone gore jaanong le bone gore le tlamela lone lefatshe le le setseng le neetswe batho.

Metse ka bontsi kwa dikgaolong tsa rona, ga e na metsi, re bona metsi fela a tla kwa South otlhe.

Fa o ka tsena fa Palla Road, ba lela ka metsi, mme a feta fela go bapa le bone.

Ke gore mo go bone a kopile boagedi go feta.


Bone o kare ga ba a tshwanela go nwa metsi a teng a a phepha, a e leng one gona le a e leng gore ba a nwa gompieno, ba sa sokole ka go nna go ntse gotwe pipes di kgadile gareng ga tse dingwe.

Le bone batho ba Palla Road ba tlaa kopa gore gongwe mo metsing one a a fetang a, le bone gore le ba nosa ka tsela e e ntseng jang.

Ga se gone fela Mr Speaker, there are places like kwa Mahalapye East kwa Flower Town Phase 2.
Batho ba teng ba sale ba neelwa bonno, mme le mo letsatsing la gompieno ga ba na metsi.

They have been staying there for over ten years, re ipotsa gore bothata ke eng batho Ke ne ke sa batla go tsaya nako e telele Mr Speaker, ka gore le pego ya ga Tona le yone e ne e se telele mo go kalo.

Ke tsaya ke re bontsi jwa tse ke neng ke batla go di bua, segolo jang e le tsa kgaolo yame … MR HIKUAMA: On a point of clarification.

Ke a leboga Honourable Speaker, ke a leboga Honourable Boko for yielding.
Ke ne ke kopa gore o mphitise fa, re ne re bua mo manifesto wa rona wa UDC ka fa re tshwanetseng go neela bana ba dikole tablets, e le selo se se tlaa fefosang thuto ya bana le go fokotsa mosuke mo baneng.

Re ne re bua gape gore batho ba ba tsenang mo tertiary ba fiwe P2 500 e le basic leaving allowance ya bone, mme fa re bua dilo tse, go lebega e kete re kgopisa batho ba party e e busang ba ba neng ba kelemile ba re fa re bua dilo tse, re bua ditoro tse di sa kakeng tsa diragala.
Fa ba sena go rutwa ke COVID-19 ba setse ba re nnyaa ke dilo tsa bone, ba a tenega, ba batla gore nnyaa, le bone ba ne ba na le tsone, ba ntse ba ne ba di bitsa ditsiabadimo le ditoro tse di sa kakeng tsa diragala.

O tsiboga jang ka kgang yone eo mokaulengwe?

MR BOKO: Mo nakong e e fetileng ke ba tlhalositse ke re ke, I am trying to look for an extremely polite word, “batho ba ba dumelang ba bone.” Ga ke itse gore ba bitswa eng.
Re buile ka dikgang tse mo manifesto wa rona, tota fa gongwe le nne le ba itshwarela ka gore fa gongwe e a bo e le kgang ya leshekere lone la dikakanyo.

Re ba itshwareleng ka tsela e e ntseng jalo.

Mr Speaker, ke bua ka bagodi jaanong.

Tona, mo pegong ya gago o tlhalositse fa bagodi le ba VDC ba tlaa okeletswa ka madi a a kanang ka P100.
Re ne re sa le re tlhalositse kwa UDC gore bagodi ba tlhokana le P1 500.

P100 Mr Speaker, o ka dira eng?

Kana P100 go tewa o tswa kwa Xhosa o ya kwa mmolong o ya go reka mahura.

Mahura ke P78 gompieno fa ke bua le wena, a a salang go raya gore o tlaa bo o palame combi ka one, P10 yo o salang gape o bo o reka coke ka one go itimola mogote.

Tona, re swabile nko go feta molomo gore o bo o letleletse gone mo gore go tsene mo pegong ya gago.
