Modubule threatens PS with perjury

In a stern warning, PAC chair Nehemiah Modubule said he would hate to see the befuddled Madikwe, the acting Permanent Secretary in the Office of the President (OP), become the first accounting officer to be charged with perjury for the glaring inconsistencies in his accounting before the committee.

In his account, Madikwe reported plans to have advertising debts of P4,429,925.87, owed to state broadcasters Botswana Television (BTV) and Radio Botswana 2, abandoned as his ministry cannot get the debtors to pay up.  Madikwe said the files containing contracts with the debtors were destroyed by water while stored in a basement at the Mass Media Complex.
