Africa-Press – Lesotho. Those who invest their trust in politicians will always end up wiping tears off their disappointed faces. Any relationship with a politician will end in a sore heart.
Boom! Oh, Boom! That is the sound of hearts being broken after politicians inserted their calloused and uncultured fingers in the Reforms Bill. The result is a mutilated Bill whose achievement is only to prove the time-honoured fact that politicians have a penchant for pulling the middle finger on the people.
Remember how the lying and ill-mannered bocks of our politicians promised us that the reforms will bring political stability to Lesotho. The National Reforms Authority (NRA) crowed about its motto: the Lesotho we want.
The people trooped to the meetings with politicians and members of the NRA who claimed to be soliciting their views. Hefty allowances were gobbled in that charade.
Those who have never paid their way for a stay in a lodge found themselves on orthopaedic beds while rubbing tummies inflated by food bought by the government in the name of reforms.
Good dreams were had and the innovative once enjoyed some hanky-panky business. A small battalion got themselves on a salary of M30 000 per month for allegedly driving the reforms.
They came from the villages with a hotchpotch of views from the people and cobbled them into what they called the Multi-stakeholder National Dialogue Plenary 11 Report which was supposed to be the basis of constitutional amendments to underpin the reforms.
The impressionable in our midst were excited beyond measure. But Muckraker and many others knew this will end up in a shit show. A damp squib. It is with pleasure that Muckraker announces that our politicians have happened again.
They have defecated on a national project and they are unashamed about it. These good-for-nothing nincompoops have molested the Bill to amend the constitution.
They have failed to pass the amendments to the reforms. Last night they were running around like headless chickens pretending to be busy pushing the amendments.\
Both the parliament and the senate were dissolved before they could finish passing the amendments. Reforms that have been cooked for the past two years are now in limbo because some dunderheads masquerading as MPs have sabotaged them. Now they are looking at each other like builders who have run out of cement. Cement they have stolen.
