Salakae insists sibling transfers, lodge claims remain unproven

Monday, August 24, 2026 | 500 Views |

Former Transport and Infrastructure Minister Noah Salakae has dismissed allegations that he transferred millions of pula to his siblings, insisting the Directorate on Corruption and Economic Crime (DCEC) has produced no evidence despite months of investigation.

"They have alleged that i gave my siblings P3 million or P10 million,” Salakae said when addressing his constituents this morning in Gantsi.
