BTO in complete chaos

The junior officer, Jillian Blackbeard and legal advisor, Zibanani Hubona went to Dubai to sign on a P17 million deal to set up an office in the United Arab Emirates.  Khama, however, said he was willing to cancel the contract as he has since learnt that it was illegal. Appearing before the Parliamentary Committee on Statutory Bodies and Public Enterprises, Khama said he was not aware that he was acting illegally by authorising purchases and procurements for the organisation.

“I was advised by the CEO that as we did not have a board, the minister was to sign and give instructions.  Had I known that I was not supposed to, I would have not done so and could take full responsibility,” he said.
