DIS man takes over at DPP

Some might not take kindly to the appointment to the key position of a man who has had a stint with the spy outfit. Many fear that the appointment of Leonard Sechele will see the notorious DIS having a direct say in what cases to be prosecuted by DPP.

Sechele is a former Gaborone chief magistrate and deputy head of Motor Vehicle Accident Fund (MVA). Before his appointment to the DPP he was legal advisor to DIS. The head of the DPP has  constitutional  powers to decide whether a case is prosecuted or not. The DIS is headed by Isaac Kgosi, a man strongly believed to be the president's personal friend.
