has been dismissed from the public service and the matter referred to the Directorate on Corruption and Economic Crime for fraud investigation. 

(c) An examination of the property records had indicated that officers who were no longer in service by reason of retirement or any other cause, and not eligible to pool houses, had continued to occupy the pool houses for long periods after their service termination. The earliest case noted dated back to 2008 on rent- free occupation. The cases involved have been listed and drawn to the attention of the Accounting Officer for clarification and comment against the backdrop of misuse of pool houses and loss of rental revenue. 

(d) In almost similar cases, officers who had been transferred from Gaborone to other duty stations had continued to occupy the pool houses which they had been allocated in Gaborone. Some of the transfers dated back to year 2000. While admittedly they continued to pay the rentals, nonetheless, they should have released the houses for allocation to other public officers. 

The above instances are indicative of the need to streamline the management of these houses to achieve the purpose of the pool housing policy.
