Quotes Surprisingly the same government struck business deals with companies owned by people who could not speak the English language fluently, let alone write it. This country could be awash with scientifically trained personnel who would boost our ailing economy. But because of the ruling party’s bad policy choices our fellow citizens are languishing in poverty and a state of helplessness. That was very cruel and evil to Batswana. Our water, electricity, poverty and unemployment problems are a result of the bad choices we made. The ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) chose the wrong path and as a result inflicted pain and suffering on our people. America, Rwanda and the Asian economies are what they are because they made the right choices. It’s all about making right choices. A quick glance over the speech shows that government has not indicated any commitment to eradicating the disease. Flawed policies blamed for current economic woes, Sunday Standard(16 December 2016) The recent poverty reduction programmes employed by the Khama administration, although noble, such as the much talked about Ipelegeng, would not take this country from the glaring poverty the ordinary Batswana are currently experiencing. Through this programme, Batswana continue to be employed on a rotational basis, obtaining a paltry P360 a month, contrary to the recommendations by the consultants engaged by the ruling party who put the datum poverty line at P900. I am of the opinion that the government should be assisted to at least raise the income a bit. If the current Ipelegeng income is viewed on annual basis, these poor Ipelegeng workers would translate to earning a paltry P30 a month. Freshman MP Arone blasts government initiatives, Sunday Standards(2 December 2009) I still can’t make sense of why people are so bitter about me joining the BDP. I have received so much criticism since I defected, but that will ever change me. Instead your criticism makes me stronger by the day. Come 2019, some of you will be forced into hiding because I am going to crush you broad day light. I am going to make you regret competing against me. These people are in denial, and denial leads to sickness. The BCP will never lead this country even with the right ammunition. Likewise the UDC is a composition of desperate people with false dreams. I have personally worked with Duma Boko and we all know he he is a pompous fellow who will never make a good leader no matter how hard he tries. Following insults hurled at him, BDP now wants back, Sunday Standard(20 December 2016)
