Africa-Press – Lesotho. After bashing Likuena we should ask ourselves where else we are excelling as a country. Our politics is a mess. Most of the political parties are chaotic.
The few that claim to be truly national are running on fumes. Those who call themselves leaders are nothing more than overrated charlatans fighting for a chance to stuff their pockets.
The private sector is a joke. Truly speaking, there are only 20 companies in this country. What you call the rest is your choice. Schools are producing nincompoops who cannot spell their names under pressure.
English medium! My foot! Universities and colleges are churning out functionally illiterate graduates incapable of solving mundane problems. The civil service is staffed with indolent people who steal at every opportunity.
Donate money for a project and it will be wasted on workshops instead of the needy. Ask what happened to the money and they will hit you with the usual nonsense about “capacity building”, “consultation” and “challenges”.
You will be lucky if you get a report on the little done with the money. NGOs like to point fingers at the government’s inefficiencies but are themselves inept.
There is a reason why the bulk of donor funds end in the pockets of managers instead of helping the intended beneficiaries. Contractors are building roads that have expiry dates.
Houses built a few months back are cracking. The motor mechanics are now trial-and-error con artists. Why then should Likeuna be expected to be different?
Judges are sleeping on the job. The police beat innocent people instead of catching thieves. The NSS boss is busy calling press briefings “classified intelligence” and drinking Oros.
Our soldiers are yet to figure out why they are paid. The nurses are rude. We drive as if we are riding snakes. So why should Likuena be an exception? Who are we to be bellowing about their failure as if we are doing something spectacular in our little corners? Give the boys a break.
