When corruption reaches this magnitude, it is an indication of seriously deficient government watchdog organs, including law enforcement units, parliament, as well as religious organizations amongst others.
The religious organizations are supposed to be fearless God's watchdogs on moral issues that include moral degeneration and bad governance. Their presence should be felt in both the social. economic and political spheres of society as spiritual advisors and critics of all that is evil in society. Parliamentarians are heftily paid representatives of the people whose mandate is to ensure that national resources are utilized for the benefit of the people and to keep the executive arm of government under constant check. Parliamentarians, as legislators are therefore front line watchdogs of good governance. Since last year's rare flexing of muscles by few parliamentarians since Sir Seretse Khama's era, nothing much seems to have come out of parliament, particularly with regards to the strategic economic sectors that forms the pulse of the economy -the diamond industry in the main.
