Masitara calls for more support for the Ombudsman

Masitara said this in the welcome to heads of Ombudsman institutions from the African Ombudsman and Mediators Association SADC region to their meeting in Gaborone.

"Worthy of emphasis is the fact that for Ombudsman institutions to thrive and be effective they need to be supported with adequate financial and human resources, and an environment conducive for them to act independently in their operations," he said. He added that the government was doing its best to create such a supportive environment within the confines of resources available to it.
