BDC probe: I'm clean, says Tibone :: Mmegi Online

Former assistant minister of Finance and Development Planning and Tati West Member of Parliament (MP) Charles Tibone, has dismissed views that he may not be an ideal member of the special parliamentary select committee formed to investigate allegations of corruption at Botswana Development Corporation (BDC) Fengyue glass project in Palapye.

Speaking to Mmegi yesterday, Tibone said that by including him on the committee fellow parliamentarians had demonstrated confidence in him and wondered why some people would want to question his integrity. "I was appointed by Parliament which is a sign that my colleagues have trust in me to take part in these investigations.

They know me better and felt I was a person of integrity to represent them. If there is any person who knows me better than my fellow parliamentarians, then who am I to stop them from holding their views?I can't stop any person from holding their opinions," he said.
