Submitters comment: Budget speech is available from various sources including bank of Botswana https://www.bob.bw/ From the government website - https://www.finance.gov.bw/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=117&catid=23&Itemid=109

Reviewers comment: It appears that the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning offers budget data at general level (https://www.finance.gov.bw/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=89&catid=23&Itemid=109), where pdf-downloads are available. The numbers are divided by sectors, but not very granular and does not contain sub department level.
