The Parliamentary Committee on Statutory Bodies and Public Enterprises has summoned minister Tshekedi Khama to answer for the mysterious establishment of a P17 million Botswana Tourism Organisation (BTO) office in Dubai.

This was after the permanent secretary in the Ministry of Environment, Wildlife and Tourism (MEWT) Elias Magosi told the committee that he was not involved or privy to details of the deal, which the outgoing BTO chief executive officer (CEO) Thabo Dithebe had said was an instruction from the ministry.

The committee chairperson Samson Moyo Guma cut short their engagement with Magosi Wednesday afternoon stating that it was important to have Khama answer for himself as fingers pointed to him. “I think it is best you facilitate that the minister come here so that he can answer for himself. It’s only fair that way,” he said.
