President Mokgweetsi Masisi is said to have recalled the Botswana’s High Commissioner in Kenya, John Moreti, to promote him to the highly sought-after post of chief of protocol.

The post has been vacant since Daphne Kadiwa’s contract ended with Ian Khama presidency. As Botswana High Commissioner to Kenya, Ambassador Moreti was responsible for the promotion of relations and country’s interests in Kenya, Uganda, South Sudan, Burundi and Rwanda.

Moreti is expected to assume his new role next month. “We understand the President wanted someone of Moreti’s calibre who understands him. Moreti has done political science at UB and he could advise him better when it comes to issues of politics. Again, the President did not want someone who is active in politics, especially that he is preparing for 2019 general elections. Mind you, Masisi has friends outside politics whom he takes their passive advice very serious especially the academic ones,” the source said.
