Reviewers comment: It appears that the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning offers budget data at general level (http://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.
