He recently concluded the swearing-in of 18 cabinet ministers, with Vice-President Ndaba Gaolathe also being allotted the role of finance minister.

"I pledge a dynamic and trustworthy civil service that will deliver economic and social transformation for a prosperous Botswana. The only movement we should see after the first 100 days of my presidency is advancement, we will not regress; we will not disappear for a few years only to return to seek re-election," Boko said.


He said his government will establish a project development fund, targeting energy, logistics and digital infrastructure, especially for sectors such as health.


Boko added that his nation was also open for business, with economic diversification to be pursued way from dependence on precious diamond mining.
