Botswana Congress Party (BCP) welcomes the dismissal of Isaac Kgosi as the director general (DG) of the Directorate of Intelligence and Security (DIS). The removal of Kgosi was long overdue and we acknowledge the decision to heed calls for his axing by political parties, the media and other sections of the society.

Kgosi had absolutely no regard for the rule of law, principles of good governance and democratic oversight of the intelligence. He had become a bully who was feared by everybody. The party is of the view that his axing would be meaningless if he is not prosecuted for corruption and economic crimes he is alleged to have committed whilst at the helm of the spy agency.

The DCEC has completed investigations of corruption and fiscal and revenue crimes involving the former DG in at least one case. The latest case of the National Petroleum Fund proved that wheels had fallen off regarding the DIS and its disregard for the laws of Botswana.The BCP has never approved the appointment of Kgosi from the beginning as it regarded him as not only unqualified for the job, but also a stooge of former President Ian Khama. It is common knowledge that Kgosi was protected by Khama who shielded him from both prosecution and accountability before democratic institutions. The spy unit under him was a huge liability to the fiscus.

Congratulations Anicia Gaothuse!

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