PARLIAMENT - Lobatse Mental Hospital has 13 computers one for each unit, save for the library, supplies officer and psychology unit.
Answering a question from Lobatse MP, Mr Nehemiah Modubule, health minister, Prof. Sheila Tlou, said her ministry was in the process of procuring more computers this financial year and the hospital would be considered for additional computers.
Mr Modubule had asked the miniter if she was aware of the acute shortage of computers at Lobatse Mental Hospital. Parliament also heard that the Southern District Council has re-applied for a telephone connection for Polokwe Primary School after the first application submitted in June 2006 could not be located.
Assistant Local Government minister, Mr Ambrose Masalila, was answering a question from Moshupa MP, Mr Maitlhoko Mooka.
Mr Masalila also said the council has a provision of P300 000 to connect electricity to the school. He said an application has been submitted to the Botswana Power Corporation and quotations were yet to be received.
Mr Mooka had asked when a telephone and electricity would be provided at the school. Meanwhile, Local Government minister, Ms Margaret Nasha, told the House that Ga-Kgolomu, Goo-Kodisa, Madibamatsho, Molomoojang and Masokwe settlements cannot be connected with water as they do not meet the requirements of the National Settlement Policy.
Responding to a question from Mr Mooka, Ms Nasha said according to the 2001 National Population Census, Ga-Kgolomu has a population of 104, Goo-Kodisa has 110, Madibamantsho stands at 158, Molomoojang has 141 and Masokwe 92.

Mr Mooka had asked the minister if she could not hold discussions with the ministries of Minerals, Energy and Water Resources and Agriculture to provide water for the settlements. BOPA
