The Ombudsman Report of 2021 has revealed that Unity Dow, during her tenure as the Minister of Education and Skills Development may have overstepped procedure and OKeyed financial transactions before services are rendered.
Mentioned is the Department of Tertiary and Education Fund (DTEF’s payment to International Aviation Solution (IAS) for services that never bore fruit for any of the aviation school’s students.
Despite having been given an opportunity by the Ombudsman to comment, the report states that Dow failed to respond to date.
The report sheds some disturbing light in a case where students admitted under government sponsorship to specifically study for pilot training, even now, are without qualifications because of decisions which were made by DTEF, Botswana Qualifications Authority (BQA), and Civil Aviation Authority of Botswana (CAAB) in the year 2013.
