Seretse to investigate police promotions

The Minister of Defence, Justice and Security, Ramadeluka Seretse says he will investigate allegations that promotions in the Botswana Police Service (BPS) are done along tribal lines.

A man said to be a former police officer alleged recently at a kgotla meeting in Mochudi that a certain tribe unfairly occupies all senior positions in the BPS. The man claimed that officers have resigned from the service in large numbers, especially Bakgatla, due to the unfair promotions.

Seretse expressed shock at the allegation and promised to look into the matter.  He challenged the concerned party to come forward with evidence.  He further appealed to the Commissioner of Police, Thebeyame Tsimako, who was present at the kgotla meeting, to also look into the matter "provided there is evidence".
