Khama warns against financial criminals :: Mmegi Online

President Ian Khama has warned that fraudsters are attacking all levels of the financial system with ordinary citizens bearing the brunt of criminal activities. “I, therefore, call upon all stakeholders, including law enforcement agencies and the judiciary, to familiarise themselves with all features of the country’s banknotes and coins, so that the public is well protected,” Khama said on Friday at the launch of the new coins.

He called for public education across the country so that everyone is familiar with the features of all coins. “Public education about the new family of coins will go a long way in combating counterfeiting,” he said. He urged all citizens to be vigilant at all times and not to be lulled into a false sense of security.

He said the metal composition has been changed in the new coins to improve quality and durability and to enhance security.
