The Ministry of Environment, Natural Resources Conservation and Tourism (MENT) would like to respond to comments in the article titled “Next VP TK abusing his powers” in Mmegi of May 26, 2017.

The article alleges that the Minister had delayed and also tried to block the licensing of Travel Lodge in Kasane. Tourism facilities licensing is one of the functions of MENT. The Ministry does this in accordance with standards set in place.

If the Ministry considers any tourism development to be below minimum licensing requirements and non-compliant, it will not be licensed until corrective action has been taken.
