Saleshando meets the people

 He said his visit was an attempt to genuinely understand people's problems and not to flaunt."In the first place, Khama is always carrying the attitude of a 'Mr Fix It.' Instead of government coming up with intervention policies, you have a president who goes around with blankets which he doles out at the sight of a poor person. He is not selling any ideas, no visions for sustainable development but handouts. Such a piecemeal approach is what we criticise, " said Saleshando.

He added that, unlike Khama, he is marketing the BCP policies that would liberate people and not himself. The BCP leader said he decided to embark on the walkabouts as they increase the scope of interaction."Walkabouts are not substitutes to the traditional ways of interacting. We adopted this strategy upon the realisation that we need to interact more.
