Boko says inequality threatens national unity

"When the masses of our people are living in deprivation while a few live in wealth, it becomes increasingly difficult to keep those who live on the margins of this country's economic life peaceful" he said at a press conference in response to President Ian Khama's State of the Nation address. In his address, Khama cited ethnicity as a threat to national unity.

The BNF leader dismissed Khama's address saying that there is a gap between the problems and the solutions the President proposes. "This State of the Nation address is eerily silent on pertinent issues," he said.
