At the recently concluded 4th Annual Corporate Governance Conference, the Chief Executive Officer (Atg) Mr. Moruntshi Kemorwale shared valuable insights on the essential role of governance as a catalyst for Botswana’s economic growth and the #MotshamekooPhepa transformation.

During a high-level panel discussion titled “Building Strong Governance Foundations to Propel Enterprise Growth: Unlocking the Strategic Potential of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs),” Mr. Kemorwale highlighted the importance of integrity, accountability, and transparency within institutions. He stated, “Strong governance is not just about compliance; it’s about fostering a culture that prioritizes ethical practices and enhances stakeholder trust.”

As the Gambling Authority, we are committed to promoting responsible gambling and gaming. We understand that robust governance frameworks are essential for unlocking sustainable value, driving innovation, and creating opportunities for Botswana’s socio-economic progress. Mr. Kemorwale added, “By aligning our strategies with best governance practices, we can ensure that the gaming sector contributes positively to the national economy.”

The conference brought together leaders from various sectors to explore how effective governance can transform business practices and enhance economic resilience. Key topics discussed included the role of technology in governance, the impact of regulatory frameworks on enterprise growth, and strategies for fostering public-private partnerships.

Through thought leadership and collaboration, we continue to contribute to Botswana’s growth story, anchored in trust, inclusivity, and transformation. As we move forward, we remain dedicated to working alongside stakeholders to implement governance frameworks that not only support the gaming industry but also promote broader economic development.
