Molale responds to allegations of IEC interference

* This is a very serious allegation indeed, as it in fact implies that I have acted against the Constitution of Botswana. I would like to begin by allaying any fears these articles might have raised, and assure the public that as Head of the Civil Service, I have done no such thing, and have no intention of doing so in future.

* The Office of the PSP is mandated by law to perform a number of functions, including the management and supervision of the Public Service; application and implementation of policies, regulations and orders that cut across the Public Service. As such the office of the Permanent Secretary to the President has functional or working relationships with all Public offices including independent departments such as the IEC, the Ombudsman, the Administration of Justice, the Auditor General, the Directorate on Corruption and Economic Crime, to mention but a few.
