'Khama's Initiatives No Threat To Opposition'

Other schemes are the creation of constituency football leagues with players paid allowances under the Botswana Football Association (BFA), the employment of youths at all ministries, during which young people are expected to explore opportunities, and the exclusion of old-age pensioners from paying hospital examination fees.

Khama started his road map of citizen empowerment with a directive that barred the Gaborone City Council (GCC) from 'harassing' vendors. The President said that vendors should be allocated space at Government Enclave.
