“𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝟓𝟕 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐆𝐨?” — 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐨 𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐒𝐜𝐨𝐩𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐆𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐜 𝐀𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐭 Leader of Opposition and Botswana Congress Party president Dumelang Saleshando has questioned whether government’s P57 million forensic audit delivered on what Batswana were promised. Briefing the media this week, Saleshando argued that the audit fell short of expectations after government initially indicated that 92 entities would be audited — yet only 30 reportedly underwent full investigation. He also criticized the use of what he described as “desktop assessments” on some institutions, questioning the depth and effectiveness of the process. Saleshando says transparency and accountability require more than selective reviews, especially given the scale of public funds spent on the exercise. The forensic audit has become one of the most politically watched governance issues in Botswana, with government maintaining that the process is aimed at strengthening accountability and restoring public trust.
