Let this not be just new names

Mr President, it is time to get this one thing right, please! As it is well-known, promises are as thin and fragile as piecrust; easily made, easily broken. Batswana are unhappy. Batswana are suffering. The cost of living keeps on increasing and young people continue to roam the streets. It is therefore important that government does all it takes to yield results.

Mr President, you were a member of Cabinet when less than 10 years ago, a similar exercise was undertaken by your predecessor. Where are the results? Fair enough, we shall grant you a chance, but bear in mind the cost of the exercise you undertook. A lot of money will be used to establish these new entities; money that should be accounted for. We want results, Mr President. It is important to start by ensuring that individual Cabinet members are up to the challenge. It is also imperative that you employ dedicated and qualified accounting officers in all the establishments. We have seen a lot of them fail to account properly before parliamentary committees.
