Nation Needs Clarity On Covid-19 Keorapetse

Member of Parliament (MP) for Selebi-Phikwe West, Dithapelo Keorapetse has blasted government for failing to account to the nation on the  management of the coronavirus (COVID-19)  pandemic and pleaded for clarity.

When raising a question in Parliament that was directed to the Leader of the House and Vice President, Slumber Tsogwane, the MP said it has been nearly a year since the coronavirus was first detected in Botswana and the nation needs an update on how the management of the COVID-19 pandemic has been. He stated that the nation needs to know whether the government is winning the war or losing.

“What has been the strategy, has it been reviewed or will it be reviewed? Has it worked or it is working? What are the numbers of infections and deaths telling us? What lessons are we learning as a country and has the government carried out COVID-19 impact empirical assessment to make sure there is an understanding of the real effects of the disease on individuals, families and institutions to make sure that going forward our polices are informed or shaped by empirical evidence. If not, does the government intend to do one and when?” asked Keorapeste.
