Government broadcasting services director, Mogomotsi Kaboeamodimo says the state media takes orders from President Ian Khama and nobody else.

In a statement that echoed the recent High Court ruling against Botswana Democratic Party suspended secretary general, Gomolemo Motswaledi, Kaboeamodimo further explained that Khama enjoys constitutional privilege to use the state media whichever way he chooses without being answerable to anyone.

Kaboeamodimo was responding to a National Broadcasting Board judgment which found the state media guilty of unfairly giving the ruling BDP airtime to address its members. The state media was found guilty of giving the BDP unfair opportunity to campaign without offering the same to the opposition. The ruling comes after the opposition Botswana Congress Party (BCP) took the state media to the NBB after Khama's address on the Motswaledi fiasco a few weeks ago.
