    "content": "Of course, the Ministry of Finance must then have what is called a contingency. We all work with the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF); do we not? Do you know what we are told? We have to do this and that and we comply. We work within our CDF limits; if it is the issue of reallocation, we apply for it! But we just do not come up in the middle of the day and decide to do things or to change things! So, why do we expect Ministries to be given that opportunity? I think we must not allow it. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, one of the major things that I have seen is that we have budgeted for workshops. We had one in Naivasha and another one in Nairobi. They are not taken seriously by the two Ministries concerned! To be truthful, the Ministry of Planning, National Development and Vision 2030 was there, but the Ministry of Finance was not there because they felt threatened! They did not want to come and talk to us about it. The other day, we had the Office of Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Finance there, and the Ministry of state for Planning, National Development and Vision 2030 played a subordinate role; the PS was just sitting there doing nothing; the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance had taken over and was talking about it! The Minister of Planning, National Development and Vision 2030 was not there â I know he was out of the country â but we have a very able Assistant Minister, Ministry of State for Planning, National Development and Vision 2030, but he was not there. So, Ministry of State for Planning, National Development and Vision 2030 themselves have been subdued; their ego has been shattered. Some of their economists are world leading economists! Put in another economy, given the power and recognition, they can turn Botswana around! They are turning South African countries round! Why are they not able to turn this country round? The reason is that, brilliant as they are, they are being constrained; they are being suffocated by bureaucracy! They are being suffocated by people who are above them and who do not understand change, they do not want change; they do not wish to recognize that, that young man â yes, he is younger than me and is more educated! He has a better grasp. Of course, we are human beings, we cannot be used to the best of everything, but instead of allowing our economists to come up with new and definite ideas, they are suffocated, relegated and they are even punished for anything that they want to bring up. This is really the fact!"
