PRESIDENT ADV DUMA BOKO OFFICIALLY LAUNCH FORENSIC AUDIT PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT PLATFORM

The President of the Republic of Botswana His Excellency Advocate Duma Gideon Boko on Thursday (7th August 2025), officially launched a Forensic Audit Public Engagement Platform during his national address in Gaborone.

A statement from the Presidency reads;...

SEE THE VISION - The time for closed doors and silent suffering is over. This is your country. This is also your fight. We just launched Public Engagement Platform for the Forensic Audit, An invitation to every Motswana to be an active participant in the fight against corruption, fraud, injustice, and unfair practices that hold us back as a nation.

The national forensic audit is progressing with precision and momentum. Stage 1, comprising the internal reviews, data mapping, and financial trail reconstruction has been successfully completed. We now enter Stage 2, which demands broader participation and targeted disclosures from every corner of the country.

This is no longer just a government initiative. It is a national mission.

To truly uproot corruption, uncover systemic rot, and repair broken institutions, we need every Motswana from the cities to the villages to rise with purpose. This is not only about justice for today, it is about protecting our children, safeguarding future generations, and honouring the dream of a just Botswana.

Let us be bold. Let us be honest. Let us be patriots. No stone must be left unturned. The Public Engagement Platform is live. Use it. Share it. Own it
