Politics of confusion

No Image

Mr Ndaba Gaolathe, the UDC Secretary General has grossly disappointed me to say the least. In responding to my appeal that the UDC must show some accountability by telling us how our hard earned monies that we donated to the UDC to carry out an expert investigation on the Gomolemo Motswaledi’s death was used, and that the UDC must also make public the reports of experts, as monies used belong to the public; he has indicated that I should bring forth my deposit slip so that I may be reimbursed.

I am assuming his words are directed at anyone who is appealing for the report to be made public. I never thought Ndaba Gaolathe would stoop so low and exercise the arrogant flamboyance that has become the UDC’s president, Duma Boko’s trademark. Maybe the UDC leadership should begin by reimbursing me the many thousands of pulas that I contributed to  Motswaledi’s court cases as well. I remind the UDC leadership once again that charity begins at home and public funds should be accounted for at UDC level so that we can be confident that the UDC can and will account for state funds. Gaolathe has reiterated my view that the UDC leadership is not only arrogant but defrauding.   Nevertheless, let me not stoop to the same level least I compete. My point today relates and point to the UDC state international relations post 2014.

Just some random thoughts that I throw to the learned opposition tripartite alliance of the Botswana Movement for Democracy, the Botswana National Front and the Botswana People’s Party which in turn are officially code named the Umbrella for Democratic Change. Perhaps to begin by appreciating the substance of the ongoing parliamentary debates on both the state broadcaster; Radio Botswana and private Radio Station Gabz FM as my opening statement is key. For the first time in my life as a citizen I am going into an election era with a much clearer understanding and awareness of the parliamentary candidates. That is a welcome development.
