He has announced that he is leaving after serving the country for too long in the public service as well as contributing to the country’s politics. He has told me that his constituency of Mmadinare will remain so dear to his heart and that he will continue to serve it even when he has retired,” he explained. 

When he rose to speak, Kedikilwe thanked Khama for recognising his efforts. “I owe the award to the community I served and I am receiving it on their behalf because it is through their efforts that I served this country,” he said.
