Speaking at his historic inauguration at the National Stadium on Friday, he said his government intends to uphold human dignity and the rights of all persons. To endeavour to improve the lives of all citizens, Boko said they will drive and consolidate the transformative agenda towards attaining an inclusive society, with high economic growth that is inclusive and yields sustainable development and peace for all.
“The thrust of the transformation will, amongst other things, be in terms of improving the legislative and policy environment regulating all aspects of life, including the formulation and execution of projects and programmes with high impact on people’s social conditions and opportunities for success, and which also enhance the ease of doing business in Botswana. “This government will be proactive in removing bottlenecks, bureaucratic hurdles, and unnecessarily restrictive regulations that make doing business a mountain to climb,” he said. Boko said their transformative agenda will be focused on the re-building of institutions for the delivery of public services in a manner that is effective and efficient, transparent and accountable. He said they are committed to the structural organisation of the economy through diversification in order to play a critical role in the global economy, particularly in enhancing its sustainability and competitiveness.
