Amendments plug Met Services loopholes

The changes are meant to make systems at the Department of Meteorological Services efficient for improved customer service. The Minister of Wildlife and Tourism, Tshekedi Khama said a closer look at the 2009 Act revealed deficiencies that needed correction to enable the Department of Meteorological Services to effectively carry out its functions.

These deficiencies, Tshekedi said, included loopholes in the licensing process, which resulted in people outside the department being given responsibility.
