Au said the local constructors have proved beyond reasonable doubt that they are capable of erecting wold-class architectural structures in Lesotho.<\/p>\n<p>The chairman of the LEC board, Refiloe Matekane emphasised the importance of a good service delivery from LEC staff to clients. \u201cOur role as the board is to oversee the administration of the company and I must say we see a lot of progress.<\/p>\n<p>The beauty of this building must equal a satisfying service provided,\u201d Matekane said.
