The University of Botswana Student Representative Council (UBSRC) wishes to register with shock and dismay disappointment at Tertiary Education minister, Dr Douglas Letsholathebe's startling dishonesty.

Letsholathebe in a press briefing held last week deliberately misled the nation when he went on record on national television (Btv) to address the student population of this country on an array of issues affecting them amidst the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Chief among the promises that the minister made was that all tertiary students would continue to receive their monthly allowances as per common practice and at the same amounts. This promise was neither sought nor solicited.
