Competition Authority must have sting - minister

Speaking at the official launch of the body in Gaborone yesterday, the minister said the Competition Authority must tackle issues militating against sound economic growth without flinching, adding that it should have an impact on the ground, instead of being seen to be producing research reports and issuing statements.

"Botswana is reckoned to be one of the least corrupt countries in Africa.  In this regard, the authority needs to develop a strong code of conduct for its staff in order to uphold this viewpoint," she said.
