BDP, in government by default!

It isn’t the first time we hear the nonsense that, ‘it is not the role of Government to create employment.’ Forgive Hon Kenneth Matambo, Minister of Finance for uttering the thread-bare cliché in his 2017-2018 Budget sSpeech; it’s BDP government’s singsong .

Whenever unemployment becomes an issue, Government like Pontius Pilate tries to wash their hands of the blood of its victims --  unemployed Batswana, who look up to it for intervention! Pontius Pilate could have saved the life of Jesus, but since he was a Jew and his fellow Jews were baying for his blood, instead of Pilate exercising his authority and power to save Jesus’ life, he chose to abdicate his authority to the Jewish mob that demanded his crucifixion!

Pontius Pilate was a disgrace; an irresponsible ruler! Power does not only corrupt it can be abused; rulers may be in Government, by default! The Constitution entitles Batswana to human rights, among which are life, liberty and security; life tops the list. Government is expected to be the custodian! To live, one must eat; to eat one must have a job with remuneration to make ends meet.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
