Khama,BPC play Pinocchio about electricity crisis?

First to “mislead” the nation was President Ian Khama in Maun two years ago. Despite assurances by Khama that power blackouts would end, the country is still experiencing load shedding.

At the 35th Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) National Congress held at Maun Senior Secondary School on July 5, 2013, the President spoke to the nation:“I have been assured that, barring anything unforeseen, the current accelerated programme of works between the contractor and BPC is aimed at ensuring that Batswana have power, and that blackouts come to an end by the end of this month”.
