    Resignation, removal and the constitutional office of Minister | Sunday Standard (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The prospect of a Cabinet Minister facing criminal investigation is unusual in Botswana, but it raises an important question: what should happen to a Minister while allegations are investigated or prosecuted?
