Mogae appoints commission for political leaders

The group consists of the President himself, the Vice President, the speaker, ministers, assistant ministers, the deputy speaker, the leader of opposition, members of parliament, the deputy speaker, members of Ntlo ya dikgosi and councillors.

According to the coordinator of the Botswana Government Communication and Information Services (BGCIS) and Press Secretary to the President Jeff Ramsay, the commission for the political leaders has always been done separately from the one of the civil servants. He explained that the independent commission has to be done by an independent commission that is credible and autonomy from the political leaders itself. "It has to be done as objectively as possible," Ramsay said.
