Botswana: Saleshando Calls for Kgosi's Prosecution

press release

Botswana Congress Party (BCP) welcomes the dismissal of Isaac Kgosi as the Director General of the Directorate of Intelligence and Security Services (DIS) The removal of Kgosi was long overdue and we acknowledge the decision to heed calls for his axing by political parties, media and other sections of the society.

Kgosi had absolutely no regard for the rule of law, principles of good governance and democratic oversight of the intelligence. He had become a bully who was feared by everybody. The party is of the view that his axing would be meaningless if he is not prosecuted for corruption and economic crimes he is alleged to have committed whilst at the helm of the spy agency. The DCEC has completed investigation of corruption and fiscal and revenue crimes involving the former DG in at least one case. The latest case of the National Petroleum Fund proved that wheels had fallen off regarding the DIS and its disregard for the laws of Botswana.
