Khama is well placed to work with such a structure since he has been grappling with the problems associated with poor implementation of government projects in the past few years. We have reason to believe that the President is conversant with such problems to provide the requisite guidance.
The costs related to poor implementation of public projects are not only wasteful of the meagre financial resources but are impediments to government's well intentioned programmes to improve the peoples' standards of living. Over the years, government has been losing millions of Pula through shoddy implementation of public projects. The problem pervades all sectors - be it construction of infrastructure or supply of goods and services. Examples abound of poorly constructed or abandoned schools, clinics, roads and others because of shoddy workmanship. Paradoxically, no public servant is ever made to account for the state of affairs. No punitive measures are taken against anybody when there are delays or poor workmanship. Instead the government is made to pay extra for the delays and inferior work. Ba ko ga mma-pereko. It is always business as usual.
