I pressurised government to restock in Bobirwa – Lucas

Responding to the Budget Speech in Parliament, Lucas claimed to have put President Mokgweetsi Masisi and his government under pressure to act. He pointed out that for 58 years, people in their region were under attack until he pressurised the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP)-led regime.

“Ke ne ka faka pressure mo go Domgrag le Masisi ke gone abo go nna le pharologanyo (I put pressure on BDP and Masisi and as result there was a difference),” he said. Lucas said Masisi has bowed down to pressure because of the fear of losing the presidency. In response, Masisi who was in Parliament to respond to the budget, indicated that Lucas should thank the government for restocking in his constituency. “Remember that we delivered customised all purpose vehicles (APV) to help patrol and fight rustlers who were tormenting your region.
