Media key to Botswana’s national security strategy- Suping

Addressing editors during the meeting, NSSD technical committee member Kekgaoditse Suping said the development of the NSS marks a shift from past approaches that viewed national security as the sole responsibility of state security agencies. He said the strategy now seeks to bring together all sectors of the state, the economy and society, recognising that security challenges are no longer limited to military threats.

“We are developing a national security strategy, and there is a realisation that, contrary to what has happened in the past, there is a need to bring all sectors of the State, the economy and society,” said Suping.
