Masisi against CEE law

Debating the adoption of the Citizen Economic Empowerment (CEE) Policy in Parliament yesterday, Masisi said Botswana has an open market economic system, arguing that there is no need to start controlling the system by way of law.

He said the economy should be allowed to operate "dynamically", adding that even in the policy before the House, there are preferential thresholds for citizens. He said being against the establishment of CEE legislation is not to suggest that citizens should not be nurtured.
