Assuming That Uyapo Ndadi Is Correct Then Bakang Seretse Is Something Else!

I request to be allowed to take part in the street court, to be part of public narration. Assuming that Uyapo Ndadi, as amongst the leading lawyers in this country, provides a basis for a strong argument regarding the now common and unfolding scandal of the century that is the National Petroleum Fund (NPF) featuring; Fund management mogul Bakang Seretse, Minister Saadique Kebonang, Kenneth Kerekang, Botho Leburu, and the DISS; one is then entitled to a view.

Uyapo Ndadi wrote on his Facebook page that “the strategy by Bakang Seretse is difficult to follow, not sure if he is saying I’m guilty but I am not alone, which surely is not a defence to the charge/s. Or he is saying I am innocent and so are they! But when someone is innocent they don’t show who else is innocent! Naturally if a person is innocent he proves his innocence and can still report those who he thinks committed offences. Has he reported?” 

Though these particular words by Uyapo Ndadi have had me thinking and inspired me to pen this, my thinking of the matter also went and goes beyond this legal approach thinking. My contention is rather what appears, from where I am standing, a serious story of deception emerging. And perusing the media publications from the day this story was broken, the narrative has been this; Bakang Seretse is being made a scapegoat. The story then moved direction to the effect that Bakang Seretse was being used by either the; DCEC, Financial Intelligence Agency, DPP, BERA or both, to wrongfully implicate senior government officials in some sort of corruption. Such figures included in particular strong reference to, in the words of Bakang; the President of Botswana and the Director of DISS.
