This notwithstanding, Khama seems not to be in a hurry to appoint an Assistant minister to assist minister Gaolathe who last year was away from office due to illness. This is not the first time that Khama has kept the nation guessing.  Just before he was inaugurated as the president at the beginning of April last year, Khama kept everyone guessing about who he was going to appoint as the vice president.

Some of the names that were bandied about included Mompati Merafhe - who ultimately became the main man, the Minister of Trade
 and Industry, Neo Moroke and even the Minister of Education, Jacob Nkate.
