Botswana National Front (BNF) president and leader of the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC), Duma Boko, says he has intensified his stance against corruption, warning party members and public officials that no one will be spared if found guilty of wrongdoing.

Speaking during the party’s gala dinner on Saturday, Boko delivered a stern message, making it clear that his leadership will not tolerate any form of corruption. He emphasised that a forensic audit report is expected by the end of the month and will play a critical role in exposing malpractice within government structures.

In a firm and uncompromising tone, Boko stressed that the fight against corruption must begin within the party itself. “We are the ones who have been condemning corruption, and we should not be involved in it at any cost. I do not condone corruption, and I will not spare anyone involved in it,” he said.
