You Cannot Have Nkarabang - OP Tells Khama

While Khama said he has not received any response on his request to employ Tsaone Nkarabang as his private secretary, Permanent Secretary to the President Carter Morupisi has told this publication that Khama cannot have Nkarabang.

The position of the former president’s private secretary became vacant mid-last year after George Tlhalerwa stepped down.  After the retirement of Tlhalerwa, Khama requested that former director general of the Directorate of Intelligence and Security (DIS) Isaac Kgosi be his private secretary, but the government turned down his request without giving him reasons.  Currently Kgosi is under investigation by the Botswana Unified Revenue Service (BURS) and Directorate on Corruption and Economic Crime (DCEC) for various offences he allegedly committed while at the helm of DIS.   Khama had initially wanted to take the matter to court.
