SPTC councillors adopt budget

Addressing a special full council meeting last Friday, Ketshogile urged stakeholders to understand the economic situation the country is facing. He encouraged councillors to come up with means of doing more with less. He indicated that there is still a serious shortage of funds though the country's economy has experienced a slight improvement.

He stated that Botswana relies too much on the economies of developed countries like the United States, which is currently running at a budget deficit of $1.5 trillion. "We rely much on such countries and until their economies recover, we are likely to remain with shortfalls."
