The Botswana Power Corporation (BPC) was once again the single largest beneficiary of the development budget, receiving a P1.46 billion allocation as an operational subsidy, according to Finance minister, Kenneth Matambo’s budget speech yesterday.

The P1.46 billion allocation for 2017/18 is the first under National Development Plan 11, which envisages pumping a total of P10 billion between April 2017 and March 2023 to the BPC for “operational support”. The 2017/18 development budget amounts to P16.52 billion.

Matambo yesterday made it clear what the “operational support” entailed.
