There can be no doubt that as a citizen and Head of the Public Service; Advisor to the President and Cabinet; you are aware of matters involving the prosecution of one Welhiminah Mphoeng Maswabi at the instance of the DPP, DIS and DCEC.

In the bail application before Justice Michael Mothobi in Welhiminah Mphoeng Maswabi versus the State UCHGB 000411/19, it was alleged that the Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP) together with the Directorate of Intelligence and Security (DIS) and the Directorate on Corruption and Economic Crime (DCEC) had deliberately and knowingly falsified and fabricated evidence against Ms Maswabi, These allegations have not been denied either by the DPP,DIS or DCEC. You will also be aware that both the DCEC and DIS made several false claims about P100 billion having been stolen by the former president with the connivance of Bank of Botswana and the DIS. You will be aware that Botswana has never had BWP 100 billion in its foreign reserves.

Equally astonishing has been the claim that Tshekedi Khama’s daughter had been used as a proxy to still over P4 billion from the Government of Botswana. This claim broadcast over the radio and repeated in print media by both the DIS and DCEC was false and deliberately targeted at the Khama family. Prior to that, the State represented by former Minister of Finance was quoted by the Patriot newspaper alleging that the National Petroleum Fund (NPF) accused will provide answers to the missing Bank of Botswana millions.
