OVERHEATING TYRES BLAMED FOR DEATH OF 9 STUDENTS
Parents of nine Matsha students who died in a truck accident six years ago are inching nearer to finding closure as tragic details of what caused the accident begin to emerge in court.
November 13th, 2015 will remain etched in the minds of the parents whose children’s lives were snuffed out and the nation at large as one of the bloodiest, darkest chapters in Botswana’s history.
Having just completed their Form Five exams, 122 Matsha College students were crammed into the back of a truck, packed into the rickety old vehicle like cattle as they headed home for the summer holidays.
Mr. Joseph Whittal, the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) Boss, on Thursday charged Members of Parliament (MPs) and government appointees to declare their assets in conformity with Act 550.
In an interview with the Ghana News Agency, he said that would ensure that all public institutions complied with the provisions of Article 286 of the 1992 Constitution and Public Office Holders (Declaration of Assets and Disqualification) Act,1998 (Act 550).
The Act states: “A person who holds a public office shall submit to the Auditor-General a written declaration of all properties or assets owned by, or liabilities owed by him, whether directly or indirectly, before taking office at the end of every four years; and at the end of his term of office.”
