Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>The Director General of the Directorate on Intelligence and Security Service (DISS), Peter Magosi, has reportedly been granted a new two-year contract.<\/b><\/p>\n

While the Permanent Secretary to the President (PSP), Emma Peloetletse, would neither confirm nor deny the renewal, sources at Government Enclave say Magosi received positive feedback on his request for his contract to be extended last month.<\/p>\n

Until 2025 <\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was always obvious that he was going to stay on,\u201d said one source. \u201cHe received his reply last month from the President. He will remain DG until 2025 but is unlikely to go beyond the two years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Magosi was first appointed Director General of DISS on a three-year contract in 2018, replacing founding head Colonel Isaac Kgosi. He was handed a two-year extension when his initial contract expired in April 2021.<\/p>\n

The PSP was not forthcoming. \u201cI believe you should contact Magosi directly and ask him about issues of his contract,\u201d said Peloetletse. \u201cI am not at liberty to discuss his employment issues with third parties.\u201d Magosi\u2019s phone rang without answer on Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, The press reported in February that Magosi\u2019s extension was facing opposition inside President Mokgweetsi Masisi\u2019s cabinet.<\/p>\n

Investigations<\/b><\/p>\n

Some of Masisi\u2019s aides are said to have advised for Magosi to be laid off if he should not leave a stain on the President\u2019s reputation.<\/p>\n

Magosi is the subject of ongoing corruption and abuse-of-office investigations by the Directorate on Corruption and Economic Crimes (DCEC).<\/p>\n

He has also been accused of interfering in the mandates of other law enforcement agencies such as the Botswana Police Service, the Directorate of Public Prosecutions and DCEC itself.<\/p>\n
