The Botswana Movement for Democracy write to inform you about the plight of students at Kang and Palapye Brigades respectively. We thought you should know, that whilst you are busy competing with former President Ian Khama on who is more qualified to be a better leader and who is not, public service, which is the primary purpose of Government business, is at halt.

We inform you Mr. President, as you seem not aware. That whilst you are busy competing with a retired elder, as to who should attend which event and who should not, that 4th year students at Kang Brigade and Palapye Brigade respectively are writing their theory examinations in May, and subsequently their practical examinations in June this year, and yet they are still without lectures, in the literal sense.
