Happy New Year

Le bora Bathophi . UDC le tsenetse go Busa sentle eseng go bua ka gore gagona Madi.

I fully support the new government—100%. However, this tendency toward “Trump-like” rhetoric is deeply demoralizing to hardworking, optimistic Batswana like myself.
Let’s be clear: the idea that “government has no money” is misleading. Governments across the world often operate with fiscal deficits. For example:
The United States is currently operating with a federal deficit exceeding $1.5 trillion.
Japan has run fiscal deficits for decades, with a debt-to-GDP ratio above 250%.

Despite these deficits, these governments still invest in infrastructure, public services, and economic stimulus. Why? Because governments are not households. They borrow, invest, and drive development—especially in emerging economies like Botswana.
I urge the current leadership: don't adopt defeatist language. Batswana did not elect you to manage scarcity; we elected you to mobilize national capacity and inspire confidence. I sincerely hope you did not take power simply to say there's “no money.

A New Government Must Use Science, Not Knee-Jerk Reactions
A new government must be guided by science and data-driven decision-making, rather than impulsive, knee-jerk reactions. Science exists to provide solutions where tradition has failed, ensuring that governance is based on evidence and rational analysis rather than emotional appeals.

Going around Botswana addressing Kgotla meetings is not an opinion poll—it does not represent the true voice of the nation. A Kgotla meeting is not equivalent to a focus group, and the issues raised in such gatherings are not representative of the wider population. For the UDC government to be taken seriously, it must rely on scientific methods, including:
✅ Surveys
✅ Opinion Polls
✅ Customer Satisfaction Studies

These tools have been used extensively in Europe and the USA to keep democracy vibrant and ensure that governments make informed decisions based on real data, not assumptions.

Every university graduate is taught that statistics is not just a course—it is the language of research. Every responsible leader makes decisions based on data rather than personal intuition or party politics.

Yes, internal allowances and perks exist, but greed must not justify making uninformed, harmful decisions. A government that ignores science, statistics, and data is a government that fails its people. Botswana deserves leadership that prioritizes truth, evidence, and accountability.

"We are back to 1966 in many ways, and the UDC must view Botswana’s economic status with the same pioneering spirit that Sir Seretse Khama had when he led the country to independence. When questioned about Botswana’s potential, Seretse pointed to our cattle as a valuable export. My hope now is that we see legislation focused on animal science, requiring every cattle farmer to work with an animal scientist. This approach would facilitate high-quality exports and harness our comparative advantage in agriculture, positioning Botswana as a leader in livestock and agricultural products on the global stage.
