Salakae denies implication as BR cancels Baaitse deal

The contested contract involves the recapitalisation and provision of rolling stock investment by a local joint venture involving equity interest of Baaitse, who is also an operative of the ruling Umbrella for Democractic Change (UDC).

A source in the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure told to Mmegi that the deal signed to assess rolling stock capacity for BR, and the pumping of billions of pula in financing, buying wagons and locomotives for the parastatal, has been cancelled.
