He is an executive director of the newly established Botswana Energy Regulatory Authority (BERA). According to a source close to the development, Board chairperson, Eric Molale who is the new Minister of Mineral Resources, Green Technology and Energy Security, gave Kerekang the suspension letter on Tuesday.
