Poverty eradication is a wild dream - Raletobana

Commenting on President Ian Khama's State of the Nation Address yesterday, the MP said no country in the world has eradicated poverty, hence it is ill-advised for government to dream the impossible.

Choosing his words carefully, he said that government should first attempt to reduce poverty rather than engaging in a too ambitious a project with an unachievable goals. He urged government to review existing poverty alleviation programmes and make amendments where necessary.
