Former President Ian Khama, who now goes by appellation, Kgosi Khama IV of Gammangwato at the Ntlo ya Dikgosi is a frustrated man as his questions on the Directorate on Intelligence and Security (DIS) continue to yield no answers.

The man who was credited for bringing the DIS to life keeps on trying to ask questions about what he terms abuse of office by the directorate and its management. He has however not been successful, but continues to ask. Earlier in the week, Khama was left frustrated as Minister for Communications and Innovation, David Tshere, standing in for Minister for State President, Defence and Security, Moeti Mohwasa, said the DIS Act does not allow him to answer a question on accelerated promotions.

Khama wanted to know the exact number of DIS officers who received accelerated promotion directly from the C-scale to the E-scale from 2020 to 2025. Prior to their accelerated promotion, Khama also wanted to establish the professional qualifications, experience, and performance assessments of the officers.
