Govt says providing ARVs to foreign inmates costly

In a case in which the government want Justice Terrence Rannowane to stay the execution of provision of ARVs to foreign inmates, Attorney General lawyer, Neo Sharp, appearing with Yarona Sharp, told the Gaborone High Court the undertaking is not sustainable.

On August 22, 2014 Justice Bengbame Sechele ordered that government should provide two former Zimbabwean prisoners with free ARVs. Neo Sharp said the conduct of the respondent, Botswana Network on Ethics, Law and HIV/AIDS (BONELA) was to let the matter be finalised during the July 2015 Court of Appeal session.
