Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>Botswana\u2019s Cabinet has proposed an innovative accountability measure for political parties receiving public funding.<\/b><\/p>\n

All parties under this scheme will be required to report their use of funds to the Office of the Auditor General after elections.<\/p>\n

This decisive move is a direct response to the citizens of Botswana\u2019s input and a recommendation from the Presidential Commission of Inquiry into the Review of the Constitution.<\/p>\n

Striving for Greater Transparency<\/p>\n
