Speaking at a two-day Botswana National Front-BNF annual conference in Gaborone, Gaolathe said they will strive to bring better services in several sectors such as education, health and the private sector. He said they will also create employment and better living conditions for health professionals so they can serve the nation better. When highlighting some of the key points on the much much-awaited manifesto, Gaolathe said the increase of nurses in hospitals and accommodation will be one of the areas they will look into. “We want nurses to work in a conducive environment and be nearer to patients when there is need. There is a need to prioritise health issues like ensuring that drugs are available in hospitals. BNF is a party with a vision.
‘Ke lekgota la batho ka batho’(It’s a party for the people).That is why it cares about people’s lives,” Gaolathe said when giving a key note address. In addition, Gaolathe said the BNF is a resilient political party which keeps going despite challenges in pursuit of power. He urged the BNF members to continue supporting their party despite these challenges. Furthermore, he said the BNF principles are centred around the upholding of the country’s Constitution. The theme of this year’s conference is ‘BNF preparing for UDC victory in 2024 to usher change for Batswana’.
