Stop harassment of the media

The INK journalists allege that seven armed plain-clothes security agents barred them near Mosu village, some 600 kilometres north eastern Gaborone and warned them never to set foot near President Ian Khama’s private compound lest they be shot dead. The journalists, one can assume, had been on a mission to investigate allegations of the first citizen using state resources and personnel, members of the Botswana Defence Force (BDF) to build his private home in Mosu.

These allegations border on corruption by the President. The government has given conflicting views about the happenings at this Mosu compound. About the latest harassment, government has even confirmed it in a press release.
