Mmako Abram

Mmako Abram is the Attorney General of Botswana, serving as the principal legal adviser to the government and an ex-officio member of the Cabinet. Recently, she highlighted a crisis within the Attorney General's Chambers regarding the inability to retain experienced lawyers, attributing the issue to non-competitive government salaries compared to the private sector. Abram emphasized that the shortage of skilled legal practitioners hampers the quality of legal services provided to the public, especially during complex cases. Despite these challenges, she remains committed to serving the public and has called for reforms to improve remuneration and staffing in order to enhance the legal framework in Botswana.
