Ban Public Servants From Private Business

The motion calls for government to rescind as a matter of urgency its decision to allow public servants service employees to partake in business activities whilst still in the civil service. Back in 2015 the government issued a directive allowing public servants to own businesses outside their everyday work. Then, it was reported that Botswana Federation of Public Sector Unions and Business Botswana were against the move saying it was likely to open the door to corruption.

Presenting the motion, Majaga said he has realised that the arrangement is a strategy for some senior government officials to benefit from tenders using inside information.
