Africa-Press – Lesotho. The MPs were claiming that they badly wanted to finish the reforms but ran out of time. We all know that is a blue lie. They worked overtime to dismember the Bill so that it didn’t affect their jobs and tomfoolery.
They removed the provision that limits MPs from prostituting from across parties. They call it floor-crossing but it is just plainly bitching. The people said they wanted freedom of expression and access to information guaranteed but the politicians said “to hell with that” and yanked those clauses from the final Bill.
The people said they wanted a threshold for political parties to qualify for proportional representation seats but the cunning jackals said: “Not here”.
They were told to make the king the Commander-in-Chief of the army yet they said “Nada”. Principal Secretaries should be called permanent secretaries and appointed by a special commission, the people said at the meetings.
The politicians nodded their empty but skimming heads and said it shall be done. But once in Maseru, they agreed that “bana ba bahlanya”. To guarantee the success of their chicanery they manufactured a fake debate about the reforms.
Pretending to be debating while winking at each other. The ruse was to hold on to the molested Bill until the last minutes so that people don’t see the epic mess they were passing off as the amendments that would create the “Lesotho we want”.
You don’t have to have spent more than five years in school to realise that the politicians have done a job on the people. They have mugged us again. This will be forgiven if it was incompetence and lack of sophistication.
We know most of the MPs are not only out of their depth but also cannot spell their names under pressure. They didn’t sleep on the job because their job is to sleep in parliament.
This was a well-calculated move to empty their bowels on us. Only a few who knew about the scheme managed to avoid being sprayed by the manure. The rest are either stinking of the politicians’ dung or are swimming in it
