Article By: Rorisang Mogojwe

The Directorate of Public Prosecutions has registered nearly 10 major cases involving corruption and fraud over the past year, with the matters valued at more than one billion pula.

Speaking on Gabz FM’s Late Lunch Show after yesterday’s State of the Nation Address, DPP Kgosietsile Ngakaagae said the cases involve ministers and other senior government officials.

He was responding to President Duma Boko’s remarks that a government forensic audit had uncovered an estimated 33-billion-pula loss linked to fraud, waste and financial mismanagement.

Ngakaagae reiterated his position that government is a crime scene.
