Botswana: Khama wants fewer Chinese firms to receive state contracts

[Douglas Scott]

Hello everyone,

I thought many of you would be interested in the linked article about some comments that the president of Botswana said about Chinese infrastructure contractors in his own country.  It reminds my of a conversation I had with an Ethiopian civil engineer in 2007 about the problems the Ethiopian government has faced using Chinese construction firms for infrastructure projects.

You can read a copy of the full article on the Business Day website at the link below.
