DCEC probes Statistics Botswana

Yesterday, Members of the Parliament’s statutory bodies and state enterprises committee convened a hearing into the allegations, in line with James Mathokgwane’s motion adopted in the last sitting of Parliament. Mathokgwane resigned as the Goodhope/Mabule legislator late May.

During the hearing, it emerged the DCEC had begun probing possible fraud at the data agency as far back as September 2014, after receiving key statements from a whistleblower within Statistics Botswana.
