Botswana: Security - But At A Price
13th Nov 2006, 22:57 GMT
The day before 69-year-old Navanit Patel was due to return to India, having spent 17 years here, an intruder entered his house, stole P1,000 and US$1,000 in cash and strangled him in front of his wife. Four days earlier the government published its new Intelligence and Security Service Bill 2006 in the Government Gazette which will provide increased personal protection not for people up and down the country, such as poor murdered Patel, but for the President and Vice President and their immediate families, for former Presidents and their spouses and for visiting heads of state and government and other dignitaries for whom increased security, if needed, could surely have been provided without need of new legislation.
