Govt not doing much to fight poverty - clerics

They felt that instead of focusing on basic needs, the government seems to be interested in developing the infrastructure at the expense of the lives of the people.

The clerics were speaking at an inter-Church meeting called to discuss the 2008/09 budget allocations at Trinity Church Hall in Gaborone on Wednesday. The meeting was organised by  the Botswana Council of Churches (BCC) in partnership with Organisation of African Instituted Churches (OAIC) and Evangelical Fellowship of Botswana (EFB).
