Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>In their resolve to capacitate the Lesotho Mounted Police Service (LMPS), the People\u2019s Republic of China donated 30 motorbikes valued at M2 million to the former on Thursday at LMPS Headquarters.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the handover ceremony, the Chinese Ambassador to Lesotho Lei Kezhong said the motorcycles have been donated by the China\u2019s Ministry of Public Security to<\/p>\n

their Lesotho counterparts, the Ministry of Police and Public Safety. Kezhong said he hopes the bikes will help strengthen the safety situation and law enforcement.<\/p>\n

The Ambassador said the donation not only reflects close cooperation between two nations but also manifests \u201cstrong\u201d bilateral relations between Lesotho and China.<\/p>\n

\u201cChina and Lesotho are good friends, brothers and partners and our relationship is such that we do<\/p>\n

not interfere with one another\u2019s internal affairs,\u201d he said. Expressing a vote of confidence to LMPS, he thanked the institution for protecting the Chinese<\/p>\n

nationals in Lesotho. Appreciating the gesture, the Commissioner of Police (COMPOL) Holomo Molibeli said the assistance is the culmination of his visit to China in 2018 with the then<\/p>\n

Minister of Police and Public Safety Hon. \u2018Mampho Mokhele where amongst policing issues discussed, the bikes were said to remedy the law enforcement challenges.<\/p>\n

The COMPOL said the motorbikes will serve Maseru Central Business District (CBD) and surrounds. Molibeli complained of the crimes that had infested the capital city, citing<\/p>\n

robbery, house breaking and car theft. He further mentioned that this contribution will help to fight crime and manage the traffic in the CBD. He promised that<\/p>\n

the bikes will make a contribution in crime reduction to \u201cacceptable\u201d levels, adding that they will also boost economic prospects and the investors\u2019 confidence will enhance.<\/p>\n

The Commissioner said they have recently established the patrolling unit which comprises Police foot patrolling squad, bicycles, motor vehicle squad and said they will have the horse patrolling squad.<\/p>\n

For her part, the Minister of Police and Public Safety Hon. \u2018Mamoipone Senauoane expressed gratitude on behalf of the government of Lesotho to China, urging the<\/p>\n

Ambassador to relay the government\u2019s indebtedness to leadership of his country. \u201cThe government is delighted to receive this generous donation, we welcome this token of<\/p>\n

diplomatic relations between the two countries,\u201d she expressed. Senauoane said, not only are the motorbikes going to assist the police in their work, but they will<\/p>\n

make a contribution to the economy with the crime rate that will reduce. The Minister said the police play an important role in the society \u2013 of maintaining law and<\/p>\n

order. She said it is the government\u2019s duty to ensure that this institution is resourced in order to discharge their mandate well. The motorcycles are<\/p>\n

fitted with communication equipment, red lamps and blue lamps. Not only will they perform patrolling functions but will also be used as ambulances and in escorts.<\/p>\n
