Modubule urges citizen economic empowerment law

Modubule emphasised that a law would be more effective than a policy, in ensuring that indigenous Batswana are economically empowered. "Policies are not helping the situation; why don't we have a law? This will allow that steps be taken against people who do not abide by it," he said yesterday in Parliament during his debate of the adoption of the Citizen Economic Empowerment (CEE) Policy presented by Minister Kenneth Matambo.

Modubule also slammed the Ministry of Lands and Housing (MLH), which he said had failed Batswana in providing them with land. He noted that land ownership is integral to the empowerment of citizens.
