Africa-Press – Botswana. Public servants must be exemplary in delivery of services to the nation, which will help in the realisation of the nation’s Vision 2036 and the President’s resent agenda, says Member of Parliament for Kanye South Dr Lemogang Kwape.
“We need to embrace Government’s reset Agenda priorities and serve the public diligently with respect. The public service should understand that they are very critical in improving people’s lives,” Dr Kwape said.
He said as government they were cognisant of challenges such as inadequate resources.
However, public officers must equally understand that the public was not interested in internal processes and expected quality service, he said.
He advised the public to report any act of maladministration so that disciplinary measures could be taken against offending officers. With regard to rising crime rate in the village, Dr Kwape regretted that the perpetrators were known and living within the community.
He advised the residents to establish neighbourhood watch committees and work with the Police by informing them about potential suspects. Updating residents about ongoing and planned developments Dr Kwape said preparations for the construction of the new Kanye Hospital were underway with funds for the initial stages of the development already disbursed.
He indicated that his office was still in consultation with the Bangwaketse show Committee to provide permission for the hospital to be built at the show grounds located at Goo-RaLenong given the area’s proximity and accessibility to the public.
Dr said construction of the village’s Mini Stadium at Mhiko ward had begun.
He advised the residents to hope for the jobs as Kgwakgwe Mine Manganese Company would be opening soon, adding locals would be empowered in the fields of engineering, accounting, administration and driving.
For his part, Village Development Committee Chairperson, Mr Mosimanewapula Mooka decried delays by council to pay their allowances.
He said crime had risen in the village as criminals had now resorted to forced entry and armed robbery. Sadly, he said response from the police was often very slow, and hampered any efforts to arrest perpetrators.
