Bayford
Bayford is a prominent legal figure in Botswana, currently serving as the Attorney General. He has gained attention for addressing issues related to a forensic audit conducted by Alvarez & Marsal Middle East Limited, which revealed significant embezzlement of over P33 billion over a decade. Despite the findings stirring public interest, Bayford emphasized that the audit's results do not automatically lead to legal action, as they require thorough investigation and evidence collection before being pursued in court.
