IEC budget aligns strategic commitments with NDP 12, BETP :: Mmegi Online

Minister for State President, Defence and Security, Moeti Mohwasa, has requested Parliament to approve P102.5 million for the recurrent budget and P336.87 million for the development budget estimates.

When presenting the proposal before the committee of supply, Mohwasa explained that the financial requests are intended to support the operations and strategic programmes of the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC). Furthermore, he noted that the commission’s proposals for the 2026/2027 financial year are aligned with the country’s development priorities.

In particular, he said they are guided by the objectives of the 12th National Development Plan as well as the Botswana Economic Transformation Programme (BETP), which aim to promote sustainable economic growth and institutional efficiency. Consequently, Mohwasa emphasised that the proposed allocations will enable the IEC to effectively carry out its constitutional mandate while also supporting national development goals.
