Open Letter To Tshekedi Khama

To quote the various newspaper sources, minister Tshekedi wants a chunk of the funds allotted to the DIS to be channelled to his Ministry. To support his case, the Minister argues that his Ministry oversees the second largest revenue earner for the economy, being tourism. He argues that his Ministry deserves to have a huge budget commensurate with its significance to the economy.

What I find comical is the comparison  with  the DIS, which is not a Ministry, to a whole Ministry of Wildlife, Environment and Tourism. Even a baby cannot take it as gospel truth that the DIS is allocated more funds than the entire Ministry of Rre Tshekedi Khama. One only has to peep through the budget request for the DIS under the Ministry of Presidential Affairs and Public Administration, and also peep through the recently tabled Ministry of Tourism’s budget.
