Olympics push sports budget to P126m

Besides the Olympics, the AUSC Region 5 and Botswana Games have contributed to the increase. However, the budget is yet to be approved.  BNSC acting chief executive officer (CEO), Tuelo Serufho said the exact allocations for the budget have not been made.  “When the Minister was presenting to the Parliamentary Committee of Supply, he was proposing a figure of around P126 Million. We do not know what the breakdown is but we suspect the figure includes Games such as Botswana, AUSC Region 5 and Olympics,” he said.

Serufho added the budget for the 2021-2022 financial year would most likely be more or less the same as that of 2020-2021. The grant allocation for the 2020-2021 financial year was P100,700,000.
