Mr Masimolole was responding to questions from MP for Gaborone Central, Mr Dumelang Saleshando, who asked about the number of houses that were secured from BHC for Shakawe Secondary School teachers for the period that they were accommodated in Maun.

Mr Saleshando also wanted to know the date on which the houses were vacated and who the houses were subsequently allocated to as well as the date of occupancy by the new occupants.  ENDS
