The two top agents, Director of Legal, Pulane Kgoadi and Principal Intelligence Officer, Paul Setlhabi said in court papers that they had been tasked with an investigation into Air Botswana regarding aviation and safety and had suspicion about the procurement process of the aircraft. They allege that what they were keenly looking into possibly irked Magosi who allegedly forced them out of the investigation.
“We had been tasked with an investigation into Air Botswana regarding aviation safety. There had been concerns over the observance of safety standards. The investigation had been sanctioned by the Acting Director General of DIS in the absence of the incumbent Director General. Air Botswana was in the process of expanding their fleet with used aircraft. During the investigation huge questions regarding the cost(s) at which the used aircraft were being procured emerged,” they said.
