Mabeo�s Brazil trip raises eyebrows :: Mmegi Online

In a rather curious revelation, the Parlimentary Committee on Statutory Bodies and Public Enterprises has learnt that the Minister of Transport and Communications (MTC), Tshenolo Mabeo undertook a trip to Brazil to identify possible aircraft suppliers alongside his permanent secretary Neil Fitt and an aircraft engineer Karabo Chibane from Air Botswana.

Appearing before committee members Samson Moyo Guma, Pius Mokgware and Phenyo Butale, acting general manager Agnes Khunwane told the committee that the Board and herself distanced themselves from the trip which also had representatives from stakeholders including the Civil Aviation Authority of Botswana (CAAB) and Ayata, a consultancy working on the organisation’s turnaround strategy.

The committee expressed concern as to why only three companies would be listed as possible suppliers and as to why the minister would visit those alongside a consultant engaged by Air Botswana.
