Boko, Salakae should act swiftly on the DM report

The report, commissioned by Transport and Infrastructure Minister Noah Salakae and led by Attorney Kabo Motswagole, lays bare a shocking tale of mismanagement, legal breaches, and the colossal waste of public funds. President Duma Boko and Minister Salakae must now act decisively on its recommendations.

The scale of failure is staggering. What began as a P13 billion initiative to improve project delivery has ballooned to a crippling P56 billion burden. This isn't just poor planning, it is a fiscal haemorrhage diverting vital resources from healthcare, education, and other critical needs. The Task Team confirms that the DM model itself caused the very problems including cost overruns, delays, and shoddy work it was supposed to fix.
