The President of the Umbrella Democratic Change (UDC) Duma Boko has urged party members to be united and remain united.
Addressing a political rally in Serowe, Boko said that if the opposition moves as a united front they can be able to achieve great things such as changing the broken healthcare sector in the nation.
According to Boko, the UDC will roll out a national health scheme once it is voted into power. He explained that every person is entitled to a medical aide scheme and quality healthcare regardless of their economic standing.
Boko revealed that the current regime uses around P17 billion in healthcare each year. However, the ordinary Motswana, according to Boko, gets crumbs of this money in terms of medication and healthcare.
Boko said that people have a right to quality healthcare regardless of where they access the healthcare. A child from birth until the age of seven (7) is in dire need of quality healthcare that will affect their life forever.
“Maternal mortality is high in Botswana,” Boko said, citing the core cause of this as the neglect of children because of the gaps in the healthcare system which renders them invisible to the system.
Boko lamented that the government who is supposed to be the custodian of all minors is ignorant of the plight that children find themselves in. The UDC will have a ministry focused on Child Welfare and Basic Education. This ministry will be aimed at the proper development of children.
The UDC President also criticised the government for what he terms a lack of empathy towards the needy, a government which brags about how many times the president of the nation has flown to international countries.
Boko is unimpressed with the developments that the current regime has come up with and urges voters to reject people who make decisions for people without being in touch with the reality on the ground.
He promised his voters a parliament that is free from jokes and selfishness as they will deploy meaningful developments to the people in all areas of the nation.
Addressing members of the UDC in the Serowe North region Boko said that there is a world of a difference between him and President Masisi. He saidthat Masisi views children as peasant herd boys, house helps and cheap
labourers. He (Boko) on the other hand sees young children as tomorrow’s lawyers, engineers and doctors.
He explained that this is seen in the way that the current regime empowers young children. Boko said that if Masisi believed in the nation’s youth he would ensure that these children will be given the proper resources at school such as books and proper teaching materials.
Boko said that because the government fails to empower young people it shows how much little faith Masisi has on these children.
Boko revealed that last month former president Ian Khama asked him for advice as he was to fly to Angola to mend the broken relationship that he has with President Masisi.
According to Boko he told Khama that he will not get anything of value in Angola because President Masisi is a dishonest person who is self-centred. Boko revealed that his only advice to the former president is for regime change.
He told the attendees that regime change will bring a new sense of hope for the people as the UDC is hell-bent on fighting for the human rights of the people.
Moreover, people should understand that fundamental human rights are freely given to each and every person and the government should give them to its people without making it seem as if they are doing them a favour.
