OP should be seen to promote transparency

While we appreciate the fact that the Office of the President initially received BONELA's petition, it is their manner of response that is very disturbing. The response from the highest office in the land is short and curt. President Khama would not like to discuss anything with the NGO, if that subject has already been  the subject of public discourse.

The response from the OP immediately brings about fears of  a culture of secrecy. We want to believe that  the Office of the President has a duty to promote transparency, democracy, as well as public and open debate on issues of national concern, such as the Health Bill.
