In an interview, the minister said he is very good at consulting with other stakeholders and never takes decisions alone. He says as the minister, he has to tweak policies for sustainable tourism to ensure a balance in eco-system. Further, he said he has to look at which part of the economy benefits most, whether hotels or camps, "and therefore have to invest in infrastructure because these are great investments and immovable assets that also create employment."
Among other things Mokaila said he has to look between the mobile operators and the self-drivers to see who contributes to the economy.He was responding to the chairman of Botswana Guides Association (BOGA), Kenson Kgaga, who recently complained that the running of the entire tourism establishments is deliberately being made intricate by Mokaila who has at some instances also told them point blank that as long as he still heads the ministry, all concerned will dance to his tune and abide by his word.
