The case for a keener look at our laws

Recent events in probing allegations of corruption at Botswana Development Corporation (BDC) and Botswana Meat Commission, among others, are a testimony that we have a determined parliament that does not condone abuse or mismanagement of public funds.

At the moment, the special select committee appointed to probe the collapse of the BMC and the beef industry is conducting interviews and visiting BMC facilities abroad to get first-hand information that will result in a report detailing what promises to be a pong in its totality.  Of course, the committee's travelling and accommodation expenses will be settled by the taxpayer.
