Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>THE Lesotho Police Staff Association (LEPOSA) deputy president, Inspector Teboho Molumo, has been booted out of the association. Six other members have also been expelled as a vicious power struggle rages on.<\/p>\n

Inspector Molumo however told thepost on Tuesday that LEPOSA\u2019s Annual General Meeting that resolved to expel him did not hear his side of the story. Inspector Molumo is accused of conniving with six other police officers to freeze the association\u2019s bank accounts without the knowledge of the national executive committee.<\/p>\n

He caused a stir last December when he allegedly held some LEPOSA national executive committee members hostage at gunpoint at the Auditor General\u2019s office.<\/p>\n

Inspector Molumo received his expulsion letter last week, four months after the AGM instructed the national executive committee to expel him from the association.<\/p>\n

LEPOSA spokesman, Motlatsi Mofokeng, who is in self-exile, told thepost this week that \u201cthe behaviour displayed by those seven members was out of order\u201d.<\/p>\n

Mofokeng said the decision to expel them was reached at the AGM in February and was only being implemented now. He said Inspector Molumo and others wanted to cause chaos in the association by attempting to freeze their association\u2019s accounts at a local bank.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat move was beyond imaginable as we use that account to pay insurance policies for our members and their families,\u201d Mofokeng said.<\/p>\n

Mofokeng also said the LEPOSA constitution only allows the deputy president to hold meetings in the absence of the president. \u201cThe president has always been there.<\/p>\n

How did they do such an act?\u201d he said. \u201cPeople should be aware that these members have been expelled forever. This means they will never be part of LEPOSA again.<\/p>\n

\u201d The letter sent to Inspector Molumo says the attempt to freeze LEPOSA\u2019s bank account amounted to a crime. Mofokeng said LEPOSA is yet to decide whether to open a criminal case or not. \u201cYou signed. . . the resolution to freeze LEPOSA accounts\u201d.<\/p>\n

Inspector Molumo was once suspended from the association in December last year after he allegedly pointed a gun at a member of the executive committee during a heated meeting at the Auditor General\u2019s office.<\/p>\n

Inspector Molumo told thepost that his dismissal was unfair because the committee never sat down with him and asked for his side of the story. \u201cI know that a few individuals in the committee do not like me,\u201d Inspector Molumo said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe same congress did not get my side of the story. They must follow the principles of natural justice,\u201d he said. He admitted to taking part in freezing the association\u2019s accounts \u201cbecause I had realised that they had been committing fraud\u201d.<\/p>\n

He complained that the association was also in the habit of not issuing financial reports to the members \u201cbecause of the corruption that has been happening\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cLEPOSA has an investment account with Nedbank but the NEC did not know about that,\u201d he said, adding \u201cIt has about M200 000.<\/p>\n

\u201d He said there was no resolution to open an investment account.<\/p>\n
