Civil service, cabinet go military :: Mmegi Online

Lt. General Khama is a former military commander just like his deputy, Lt. General Mompati Merafhe. Environment, Wildlife and Tourism Minister, Kitso Mokaila is a former army captain. Khamas cousin, Dikgakgamatso Ramadeluka, the new Minister of Justice, Defence and Security left as a brigadier. The ousted Minister of Youth, Sports and Culture, Moeng Pheto held the rank of major general.

Further, the militarisation of Cabinet cascades down to the senior management of the civil service where former army officers have been appointed to some crucial posts. The general manager of the Central Transport Organisation (CTO) is retired Lt. Col. Moakohi Modisenyane.

This week, Khama appointed Isaac Kgosi to head the Directorate on Intelligence and Security. Colonel Duke Masilo has been appointed Deputy Senior Private Secretary to the President and Kitso Mokailas older brother, Tefo Mokaila was appointed private secretary at State House.
