Thank you. Botswana's new president, Duma Boko, assumed office after his party's shock victory in last week's elections. In another beautiful display of democracy, he was joined by former president Masisi in an official handover ceremony to complete Botswana's smooth and peaceful transition.
Prepared for the handover, comprehensive. It will be led by the president to the president. Think get a time convenient to you and the rest of your team once you make the appointments of vice president and your ministers and your PSs. We'll invite that briefly. Don't need to remind you of the powers you have. You're a lawyer by profession, you know them extensively. This at your service, at your pleasure rather. And so it would be up to you to retain or not retain, and if you chose not to retain, there are obligations that would have to be met. But it's really out of a discussion that you will have with each and every one of them. They too are well aware of that. It's a mutual relationship that should ensue from that. From my side, we've had some discussion, we've agreed to continue, but I have a pack here of the instruments that you would need for power.
