Botswana: President Dismisses Media Reports

press release

President Mokgweetsi Masisi has dismissed as untrue media reports that link poaching and government decision to withdraw certain types of weapons from the Department of Wildlife and National Parks and Anti-Poaching Unit.

In a key note speech during the Illegal Wildlife Trade (IWT) conference at Battersea Evolution in London on October 12, President Masisi said the decision to withdraw the arms was to rectify an administrative oversight and re-assert the country's commitment to the rule of law.
