FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION

I do hope that one day Batswana will get over the aversion they have to people who ask the relevant and inquisitive questions to the people they have put in power. I have noticed that as a nation we find it wrong or too forward when someone asks and takes to task the decisions of the authorities and or government. I don't get why though as we claim to be a democratic country! When we vote and put people into government, we do so, so that they represent our interests and these people are answerable to us as the voters and as such we should ask them without fear why they make the decisions they do. I really appreciated a man who commented on Gabz fm this morning and said that ministers are our servants and answer to us since we put them in power. I also appreciated how the honourable minister Tshekedi Khama was being involved and not afraid to engage in an issue involving his ministry that is causing controversy in the country with regards to a pair of lions and how they got into the hands of another minister. If we as a nation don't inquire on how our national resources are used and disbursed then we stand to lose them to misuse and corruption. It is only through questioning that we could ensure that resources are being used appropriately and I implore on the other ministers not to shy away from issues but face them head on; this will illustrate to us the voters that they know what they are doing and make the right decisions in our interest not their own. The more a minister dodges the people the more we think they have something to hide. So ladies and gentlemen who have been elected into power please take note that you did not put yourself in that comfortable chair, we did  through our votes and if we want answers from you, you must provide them promptly without feeling like you are being bothered because that's what you are there for, US THE PEOPLE. We can just as easily vote you out. Thank you
