In a move that many feel is distasteful, President Ian Khama on Friday paraded UDC parliamentary candidate for Maun West Tawana Moremi’s ex-wife Tsitsi Moremi at a BDP star rallies held in Maun as a strategy to de-campaign him.

In Maun East, Khama introduced her as the mother to Batawana Chief in waiting Oatile Moremi, who is the son to Tawana Moremi.

When he got Maun West, Khama went on to say he was the one taking care of Tawana’s son and that he occasionally helps Tsitsi Moremi when she asks for help. He said he does that despite Moremi’s differences with him.

President Ian Khama has strongly defended government’s plans to purchase fighter jets in Sweden.

The army has confirmed negotiations with a Swedish aircraft manufacturer, for the acquisition of between 8 and 12 Gripen "C" and "D" aircraft variants, to replace its ageing fleet of US-made F-5 fighter jets.

The cost of the possible contract is estimated at 17 billion Pula.

Khama during a joint press briefing with the Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lovfen yesterday, said the fighter jets will be used to police Botswana’s skies.

Khama’s visit to Sweden comes hardly days after the opposition, UDC petitioned Sweden to block Botswana’s move.

The UDC and other critics have argued that Botswana should not be spending billions of pula in military equipment when facing critical challenges such as poverty and high unemployment rate.

When asked about these issues, Khama said the opposition should raise their concerns in Parliament.
