Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are pleased to recognize the Commissioner General of Botswana Unified Revenue Service, Ms. Jeanette Chanda Makgolo, for her continued efforts to ensure that Botswana's future is one with fiscal success; and

Whereas, with over thirty years of experience, Ms. Makgolo has served in various capacities within the public sector, notably contributing to the development and enactment of key legislation in Botswana such as the Public Procurement Bill and the Financial Reporting Act. She also holds positions on multiple boards, including the Botswana Unified Revenue Service (BURS) Board, the African Tax Administration Forum, and the Botswana Accountancy Oversight Authority, among others; and

Whereas, Ms. Makgolo joined the BURS at a critical time when the fiscal position of the country had deteriorated, and new measures were required to transform the revenue service into a modern revenue authority capable of increasing the collection of domestic revenues.
