The case in which the former director general of Directorate of intelligence and Security (DIS), Isaac Kgosi is challenging the decision to prosecute him for abuse of office and alleged corruption in the National Petroleum Fund (NPF) case is moving forward on Monday before Justice Michael Leburu of the Gaborone High Court.

Kgosi denies all allegations of wrongdoing and wants the charges against him quickly dropped. He stated that at all material times he was acting in his official capacity and for the benefit of the State. In the review application, Kgosi is challenging his prosecution on the basis that it is malicious. The reasons for the challenge include the fact that, the equipment ordered has been received by the State, his successor Peter Magosi is deliberately refusing to receive the balance of the equipment much to the prejudice of the State and that money allocated to the DIS was lawfully done and has not been lost.

Kgosi who was indicted in March 5, 2020 said the decision of State to prosecute him for the DIS dealings is irrational and unreasonable. The former spy chief who is charged amongst other crimes, for corruption and abuse of office, denies any abuse of funds allocated to DIS.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
