The reforms were started in 2015 under the then NDPC.<\/p>\n<p>However, they did not take long as that coalition government that was led by the then Prime Minister Hon Phakalitha Mosisili collapsed. Speaking on behalf of the Deputy Prime Minister, the Minister of Forestry, Range and Soil<\/p>\n<p>Conservation Hon. Motlohi Maliehe said NRA has made a notable progress. He said: \u201cThis is a journey that we shall all complete. The good work that is done<\/p>\n<p>must be finished. \u201d He said introspection is critical in this journey to ensure the journey goes smoothly. The Minister also thanked SADC facilitation leader for always \u201ckeeping us on our<\/p>\n<p>toes\u201d. In 2017, the roadmap was done to guide the process of the reforms process. Chief Pelele Letsoela thanked the pioneers of the reforms process from infancy stage.<\/p>\n<p>The function of the reforms is to protect the voices of the masses. The NRA Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Advocate Mafiroane Motanyane said through support of the European Union and the United Nations Development Programme<\/p>\n<p>(UNDP) NRA will return to Basotho in the villages and report on the progress of<\/p>\n<p>the work they have done. He said: \u201cThe moment to define our course has arrived. We need to engage in uncomfortable conversations and arrive at difficult decisions to prepare Lesotho for the<\/p>\n<p>future. \u201d Some of the proposals are that dissolution of NRA will undermine the process. Also, the future will have to be decided by all Stakeholders not government alone,<\/p>\n<p>arguing they are bigger than individuals or institutions. They also proposed multistakeholder forum be called to deliberate on the future. According to the NRA\u2019s progress report, \u201cthe Constitution is the foundation of every<\/p>\n<p>piece of legislation in Lesotho. As a result, NRA decided to prioritise constitutional amendments. This strategy ensures that enabling legislation including Acts of Parliament, Policies, Codes of Conduct and Good Practice, and<\/p>\n<p>other instruments will fall in place easily. \u201d The much anticipated 11th Amendment to the Constitution, famously known as the Omnibus Bill has been finalised and is yet to be tabled before the<\/p>\n<p>parliament before the dissolution of this 10th Parliament in June. The Omnibus Bill contains about 90 amendment proposals. The Senate is currently ceased with the Referendum Bill.<\/p>\n<p>The referendum issues that are currently receiving attention are the establishment of the Electoral Court, Amendment of Section 85 of the Constitution, Reclaiming of the Lesotho\u2019s conquered territory,<\/p>\n<p>the resuscitation of the position of paramount chief, division of Matsieng into two wards, powers of the King under Section 91(3), redesignation of the positions<\/p>\n<p>of Chiefs of Thaba-T\u0161oeu and Kueneng as Principal Chiefs, referendum of on the succession of females to the Chieftainship and reviewing of sections 52 and 53 of the Constitution to allow<\/p>\n<p>college of Chiefs to recommend removal of the King from Office to Parliament. Currently, the law accords the Prime Minister such powers whereas College of<\/p>\n<p>Chiefs can only recommend for the appointment of the King. The referendums are expected to be conducted concurrently with the national elections slated for later this year.<\/p>\n<p>The Authority has developed the Media Policy and a National Code of Conduct, Behaviour and Practice for media sector and they have both been adopted and<\/p>\n<p>passed by the parliament. Not only was the NRA mandated to reform laws and institutions in seven thematic areas: judiciary, parliament, economy, security, constitution, public service<\/p>\n<p>and media, it has also been charged with the responsibility to propose peace architecture for the nation that will enable healing, reconciliation and forgiveness.<\/p>\n<p>Progress made to this end, is that NRA had on July 21 to 23 convened a National Stakeholders Forum for Sustainable Peace. This forum saw participation from the<\/p>\n<p>executive, victims of human rights violations, students, women, people with disabilities, academia, and representation from civil society organisations<\/p>\n<p>(CSOs) among others. In this forum a roadmap for the implementation was developed. The<\/p>\n<p>Minister of Law and Justice Advocate Lekhetho Rakuoane said there should be a clearly defined proposal that should be made to the government on the way forward.<\/p>\n<p>NRA\u2019s term was supposed to have ended after 18 months following the appointment of the Secretariat. The Authority had also projected that some of the laws will be<\/p>\n<p>completed by August next year. The general attitude of the forum was that the country has not reached to the \u201cLesotho we want\u201d. United Nations (UN) Resident Coordinator said while there is still work to be done, delivering<\/p>\n<p>the message of support is more important. The UN Resident Coordinator Amanda Khozi Mukwashi likened NRA to Thaba-Bosiu a fortress for King Moshoeshoe I where he hid from the enemies.<\/p>\n<p>Thaba-Mot\u0161eare literally meaning the mountain of the day, which she said it symbolises the comfort for Basotho. \u201cThe laws if passed by parliament, implemented by different stakeholders, understood<\/p>\n<p>and owned by the people and made real through the change in behaviours and mind-sets will form the mental fortress that will safeguard Basotho from this generation<\/p>\n<p>to the next seven generations. \u201cIt has taken several years to bring this together to where we are now. People want sustainable peace, national unity and reconciliation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201d The reforms if successfully implemented will not easily be conquered, Mukwashi had said. She<\/p>\n<p>said they will deliver protection to all Basotho alike. \u201cSafeguarding peace is a lifelong commitment which must be passed from generation to generation,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>The European Union (EU) Lesotho Charge d\u2019Affaires David Healy said there need to be \u201cclarity and agreement\u201d as regards to the transitional arrangements on the work<\/p>\n<p>of the reforms. \u201cInitiatives and to progress the reforms have to have national ownership and be endorsed by national stakeholders; it cannot be imposed from outside or foreign<\/p>\n<p>stakeholders,\u201d he said. He further said the EU appeals to political players and all stakeholders to \u201crecommit\u201d to the reforms journey, adding that the EU can sign a reforms pledge<\/p>\n<p>to \u201ccommit themselves to respecting the citizens\u2019 voices and passing the omnibus constitutional bill speedily and all other reforms bills\u201d. EU and UN through the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) had been<\/p>\n<p>instrumental in supporting the work of the reforms through technical and financial assistance. NRA was established through the NRA Act No.4 of 2019. It is charged with the<\/p>\n<p>mandate to coordinate, lead and manage reforms process. SADC wants Omnibus Act be passed and be presented on the upcoming Submit in August. The Submit is also expected to decide on the future of the SADC facilitation team<\/p>\n<p>led by the retired South African Deputy Chief Justice Dikgang Moseneke. It has two layered structure being the members of the plenary and the secretariat.<\/p>\n<p>The plenary consists of 59 members, there are 35 political parties, these are all parties that had registered with the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC)<\/p>\n<p>in 2019, 18 non-governmental organisations, three representatives of Chiefs and three representatives of the government. The NRA Chairperson Chief Pelele Letsoela proposed the establishment of the elders<\/p>\n<p>club, being former Prime Ministers and Deputy Prime Ministers to play a role of advisor on the national issues and to share their wisdom and expertise on<\/p>\n<p>leadership of the country. \u201cThere is a need to ensure that the process continues until it reaches its target. The process must continue to be as inclusive and as transparent as possible even beyond the NRA in order to ensure its integrity,\u201d reads the NRA report. The NRA report for the process made was launched in this forum.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/lesotho\">Lesotho<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Lesotho.
