Sincerely, I think that
now is the time to advocate for a radical change. The president, in my view,
should be employed. Not just voted. He should be employed on the basis of his
credibility as a leader. This means he’ll have to apply and go through a very
tight interview to sieve for the best. And then the ministers of various
government sectors should be specialists in such areas. For instance, in
Botswana, a minister of tourism should have a masters’ degree in tourism, with
of course an experience of a certain number of years; the minister of finance
should be highly qualified in accounting, economics, business or related fields;
the minister of roads, transport and infrastructure should be an engineer, and
the rest of the ministries should be led by highly qualified specialists –
then, we will have the right people doing the right jobs. What we see happening
today is simply nonsensical. What the heck do these guys know about the sectors
they are leading? It’s time, I think, to call for a really drastic change.
Enough with political rhetoric, empty promises and outright lies!
