The Alliance for Progressives (AP), whose party joined the opposition coalition last year, was quick to tell the crowd at Molapo Piazza that the country\u2019s economy deserves a proper revamp after decades on the sidelines. An economist by profession, Gaolathe\u2019s constant message throughout his speech was that they plan to build the economy if the UDC wins the 2024 General Election.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe last time a leader built this country was in the ’70s so it’s time we build our country,\u201d he said. The UDC vice president added Botswana currently has one gigantic company Debswana. He said if they take over after the October polls, the plan is to ensure that Botswana has at least two more gigantic companies to complement the diamond mining company. \u201cWe have to stand up and build these gigantic companies. \u201cBut to achieve that we have to vote for leaders who are responsible and capable,\u201d he said. Gaolathe said if Botswana can build Debswana-like companies the issue of unemployment would be solved.<\/p>\n
