CIVIL SERVANTS MUST REACH OUT TO PUBLIC - KHAMA Addressing Mokgomane residents during a kgotla meeting yesterday, H.E. the President Lieutenant General Seretse Khama Ian Khama, affirmed that public officers in the Southern District should be proactive in taking services to rural communities to enable residents to take advantage of citizen empowerment programmes. He said some Batswana missed out on Government programmes because of lack of information on the government assistance programmes tailor-made for them. President Khama challenged particularly the labour office from both Kanye and Goodhope to do mobile out-reaches to residents of Mosi/Sedibeng to address labour related issues. He said this would curtail residents having to travel long distances to be assisted often times at service centres only. He urged the District Commissioner, Mr Moses Gaealashwe and the Council Secretary, Mr Mompati Seleka to be at the forefront of service delivery in the district, adding that he was not impressed to have learnt of some officers who never made an effort to reach out to rural communities. President Khama was reacting to a concerns raised by Kgosi Mokgabisi Selerio of Mokgomane, who also complained that no Cabinet ministers, save for the area Member of Parliament, Peter Siele and Kitso Mokaila, have visited the village in the last five years.
