Why can\u2019t government, at least take 50 percent of the produce and give the owners of the fields 50 percent? This is daylight robbery.<br \/>\nMr Makhalanyane said because of his suspicions, he had reported the issue to the DCEO and challenged the anti-graft body to conduct in-depth investigations into the allegations.<\/p>\n<p>The MP said he wanted the DCEO to establish where all the fertiliser and seed procured by government had \u201cdisappeared\u201d to, particularly as the farming community had not accessed any of the agricultural inputs with the official line being they were out of stock.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFurther to this, the DCEO should investigate how tractors belonging to some legislators and ministers had been hired while there has never been a tender for such a contract.<\/p>\n<p>Some of our people in our respective constituencies have tractors, but they were denied the opportunity to do similar work because it was never tendered for,\u201d he charged.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Mr Makhalanyane said the allocation of tenders within the agriculture ministry was shrouded in secrecy, noting had the electorate been made aware of what projects government was planning to implement, \u201cthey would also have gone to the banks and secured loans to buy tractors\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately, the people they have voted for have taken advantage of their gullibility and gone ahead to enrich themselves and their own farming projects and we are sick and tired of this,\u201d Mr Makhalanyane protested.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis government is violating all the promises it made to the people when it wanted to be voted into power, and anyone who speaks against it is perceived an enemy of the party who needs to be silenced.<br \/>\nIn his accusations against Mr Malebaleba, Mr Makhalenyane said the former\u2019s tractors were also being fuelled by government and this also had to be investigated as it was not even known how they were hired in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Makhalanyane even aired his views openly on his Facebook page saying: \u201cUnfortunately, I am not a thief, and I didn\u2019t know that you were thieves and had come to steal.<\/p>\n<p>They have taken their own tractors and they are the ones which are being used for ploughing to bleed money from government, while the masses have been left out and are being fed lies that the food is being produced for them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn short, this means that the electorate voted for you so that you could sit in the centre of it all and watch you while you eat.<\/p>\n<p>Did they vote for you so that you could enrich yourself and your agricultural project? Did they vote for you to be ahead with information so that you could take advantage of them?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGovernment fertilizers are packed in his storage, they are stealing with his minister and the public is denied such and told that fertilizers are finished, gone to the stomachs of men who think that we are stupid, and we just accompanied them to loot the public\u2019s purse.<\/p>\n<p>Go and find out how many tractors belonging to MPs have been hired by traitorous means at the Ministry of Agriculture. \u201d Mr Makhalanyane also made the sensational claim that he had learnt of a plot to have him and the RFP\u2019s Matlakeng legislator Dr Mahali Phamotse assassinated as they were \u201ccausing instability in the party by airing our views\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He, however, added he was not worried about \u201cthe dirty plot\u201d because he had \u201ctight security\u201d. Contacted for comment also on Tuesday morning, Mr Malebaleba told the Lesotho Times that it was an insult to accuse him of stealing agricultural inputs and plotting people\u2019s deaths, adding he was a wealthy man who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth hence he didn\u2019t have to steal from anyone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m well-off and was born wealthy. I also have no reason to get involved in such dirty dealings like plotting to kill people.<\/p>\n<p>I have no relations with the ministry of agriculture that would give me access to their stores and let me loot their fertiliser,\u201d Mr Malebaleba told the Lesotho Times.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI fuel my own tractors with almost M80 000 every week from my own pocket. I am not a thief and don\u2019t understand why Makhalanyane is saying all that about me. If he is hungry for power, that has nothing to do with me. \u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the day, Mr Malebaleba had told a local radio station that the fertilizer in his storage belonged to him and was never in the agriculture ministry\u2019s possession.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have heard these allegations that I and the minister of agriculture are stealing fertilizers and seeds, and that my tractors are also ploughing and stealing money from government. I am not a thief, and if I was one, I would have long been in prison. I\u2019ve got 40 years in business,\u201d Mr Malebaleba said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fertilizers that are in my storage are mine, I got them from Durban when I learnt that government didn\u2019t have any and I ferried them with my own trucks because I was running out of time, and the seeds I got from Bethlehem in South Africa using money from my pocket.<\/p>\n<p>So, all this junk that\u2019s being said about my name is none of my business and I won\u2019t entertain it. \u201d In response to the alleged murder plot, Mr Malebaleba said he would \u201cnever plot to kill anyone\u201d and that he was \u201cdisappointed that Mr Makhalanyane is dragging my name in the mud in the manner that he is doing\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe only reason that he is saying all this is because at one point, he had wanted me to suggest to the premier that he be appointed minister of Home Affairs and that never happened. It was the discretion of the premier as to who he wanted to appoint and it\u2019s not my fault that he was not appointed,\u201d Mr Malebaleba said.<\/p>\n<p>Contacted again on the same day for clarity, Mr Makhalenyane strongly refuted ever approaching Mr Malebaleba \u201cseeking that he put in a good word for me\u201d with Prime Minister Sam Matekane.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho is he? He is just a friend of the PM and has no powers to appoint people.<\/p>\n<p>How could I ask this from him when he and I are in the same position? What he is saying is actually an insult to the premier because he is insinuating that the PM can\u2019t make decisions of his own, that he needs other people to do so for him.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, who was born to be a minister or has been earmarked to be a minister?\u201d Mr Makhalanyane charged. Contacted by the Lesotho Times for comment also on Tuesday, Dr Phamotse said she had also heard of a plot to assassinate her but was not worried by it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have heard of the plot to have me killed but I am not shaken. Maybe it\u2019s because I have been through a lot and no longer care what happens to me.<\/p>\n<p>I always make sure that I do things that keep my conscience clear so I don\u2019t think I have done anything that would warrant for me to be killed,\u201d Dr Phamotse said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBesides, I wonder who would be engaged to carry out the hit because no soldier or police would be interested. I trust the security agencies of this country and don\u2019t want to think that could happen under their watch. My life belongs to God. \u201d<\/p>\n<p>Contacted for comment, the DCEO spokesperson, \u2018Matlhohonolofatso Senoko, said she was not aware of such a case which had allegedly been reported with the DCEO.<\/p>\n<p><b>https:\/\/lestimes.com\/rfp-infighting-escalates\/<\/b><\/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.
