Open Letter To Pres Khama

Outgoing President, Ian Khama launched a scathing attack on the media during the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) Council held at Maharaja Restaurant in Gaborone on Friday.

The President described Botswana private media journalists as some of the worst in the world. He actually said ‘fake news’ originated in Botswana. Khama made reference to the National Petroleum Fund (NPF) P250 million saga, saying that he was being fingered by the media, while he did nothing wrong.

Perhaps, the President should have made time to meet with the media during his term, as it could have given him an insight into what its role is. If he knew the role of the media, he would have instead mauled those who submitted his name to court as one of the people who benefitted from the P250m disputed petroleum fund.
