Government mum on Bokamoso

"You have already written about it, so there is no point in me discussing it." This is the curt response to Mmegi by the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Health (MoH), Kolaatamo Malefho, after persistent enquiries over several days.

This is the response of the man who runs a ministry that routinely channels millions of pula to South Africa in medical costs when there is a world-class hospital near Gaborone. As the Permanent Secretary of a ministry that pays half of the members' subscriptions to the two medical insurances that own the hospital, Malefho also chairs Bokamoso's Board of Directors.
