Presidents' retirement benefits to be extend to children

“The object of the bill is to amend Section 6 of the [Presidents (Pension and Retirement Benefits)] Act such that the pension and other benefits conferred by this Act cease where the person who has held the Office of the President is sentenced to death or to serve a term of imprisonment and the sentence of imprisonment has not been wholly suspended,” read the bill.

For many Amendment Bill No.12 of 2024, may be perceived as an attack against former president Ian Khama who is in self-imposed exile and has been back and forth with the law.
