Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>Government departments should do away with regional offices to facilitate timely and better service delivery, Minister of Transport and Public Works, Mr Eric Molale has said.<\/b><\/p>\n

Speaking at a Kgotla meeting in Khudumelapye recently, Mr Molale said the issue of one officer overseeing a range of districts was outdated.<\/p>\n

He said through the establishment of fully fledged districts, government was moving away from the arrangement in which one officer was expected to be in charge of more districts.<\/p>\n

In principle, Mr Molale said no officer should oversee more than one district to make decentralisation feasible. He said the word regional officers should cease to be part of government vocabulary.<\/p>\n

He also called on government departments to bring services closer to the people, though Bringing Services to the People initiative.<\/p>\n

Kgosi Tuelo Ramokobetwana of Khudumelapye called on government to consider establishing a special education unit in Khudumelapye Primary School, saying that there were pupils with special needs in the school.<\/p>\n

In addition, the traditional leader said there should be trained teachers to be in charge of the special education unit.<\/p>\n

The move, she said would help pupils with special needs reach their full potential because trained staff would be dedicated to them and the learning environment would be conducive.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Village Development Committee chairperson for Khudumelapye, Ms Talelo Dinoge said there was dire shortage of accommodation for government employees.<\/p>\n

She added that even the available accommodation was in deteriorating state.<\/p>\n
