In an affidavit deposed in court, the Botswana Meat Commission (BMC) Chief Executive Officer (CEO) David Tsheboeng has hit back at his Board chairperson who suspended him from work early this month. He alleges corruption and misdeeds by the board are behind his suspension.

According to papers filed before court, Tsheboeng says he was appointed CEO back in May by the Minister of Entrepreneurship, Karabo Gare. He was, however, suspended from work by the Board chairperson on June 16, a suspension he is now challenging.

The disgruntled CEO further tells the court that according to his suspension letter, he was prohibited from entering the BMC buildings and was ordered to surrender all BMC properties in his possession.
