F/town-West bogus petitioners go scot-free :: Mmegi Online

FRANCISTOWN: The Botswana Police Service (BPS) has concluded investigations into a bogus petition, which led to the postponement of the Francistown West by-election in November 2013 by the then acting president, Ponatshego Kedikilwe.

None of those alleged to have masterminded the bogus petition will be charged according to the police. The police confirmed that they have completed their investigations in a letter written to the Botswana Congress Party (BCP) and marked “confidential”. The letter is dated April 25, 2017 and authored by David Mosetse on behalf of the Commissioner of Police.

In the letter, the police said, “the absence of identifiable accused persons and intention for all possible offences has left us with no option but to close the matter due to insufficient evidence. Please note that the investigations have been concluded.
