I don’t have 10 years – Duma Boko vows fast-track change for Botswana

Botswana’s President, Duma Gideon Boko, isn’t mincing words or tiptoeing around the issues. In a bold and emotionally charged speech, he made it clear that his mission is urgent, unapologetic, and laser-focused on transforming the country within just three years.

For Boko, it’s not a matter of convenience—it’s a race against time.

He told citizens bluntly that he doesn’t have 10 years, five years, or even six months to debate or be bogged down by court processes.

His people need housing, opportunities, and progress—and they need it now. According to him, if it takes a decade to deliver basic accommodation, then he would have failed them “spectacularly.”

Boko’s remarks didn’t just express urgency—they also fired shots at the deep-rooted systems of corruption and inefficiency that have held Botswana back for years. He stressed that transparency, openness, and accountability aren’t up for negotiation.

These values, he insists, must define every decision and policy his administration pursues.

And he didn’t dodge the subject of corruption rumors either. Addressing whispers about favoritism and tender deals going to his relatives, he welcomed scrutiny.

“Know my relatives,” he said. “Track them. Make sure none of them has any tender.” His call was not just a defence—it was an invitation for the public to actively monitor his leadership.

The president acknowledged that moving away from an entrenched, broken system won’t be easy, but he firmly believes it’s necessary.

What Botswana needs, he said, is a governance model that gets things done without wasting time or money—and without anyone lining their pockets in the process. His vision is one that breaks free from delays, dodgy deals, and politics as usual.

With passion in his voice, he pushed for a shift toward best practices, systems that can be tracked, results that can be measured, and outcomes that make a real difference in people’s lives.

His message wasn’t rehearsed or polished for show—it came from a place of real frustration and real hope.

In three years, Duma Boko wants to look back and see a Botswana that’s dramatically different—not just in policies but in impact. He’s not promising miracles, but he’s promising movement.

And with the clock already ticking, he’s made one thing very clear: there’s no room for delay, no space for excuses, and definitely no tolerance for corruption.
