This was done under the initiative project to assist the High Court to try ongoing \u201chigh profile\u201d cases which are prosecuted following the recommendations by the Southern Africa<\/p>\n<p>Development Community (SADC)\u2019s commission in 2016 which resulted in political unrest which prevailed in 2014. The project is aimed to see the attainment of \u201cimpartial, efficient and expeditious disposal of<\/p>\n<p>high-profile security related criminal cases for enhance[ment] [of] stability in Lesotho\u201d. Speaking at the handover ceremony held at the Palace of Justice, the EU Ambassador to Lesotho<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Christian Mahahl expressed comfort that the \u201chigh profile\u201d cases are being tried adding that he hopes they are completed. He, however mentioned that the EU sponsored programme is coming to an end in a couple of months.<\/p>\n<p>The UNDP Resident Representative Betty Wabunoha said the symbolic equipment demonstrated their UNDP support of the Judiciary. Wabunoha said rule of law is essential for realisation of human rights and eradication of poverty<\/p>\n<p>among others. She said it fosters development by providing access to justice. \u201cIn order for rule of law to sustain development outcomes, it must ensure protection for all human<\/p>\n<p>rights including economic, social and cultural life and the life to development,\u201d she said. Appreciating the gesture, the Chief Justice (CJ) Sakoane Sakoane said the EU and UNDP are<\/p>\n<p>\u201cdependable\u201d partners. Taking stock of the ongoing \u201chigh profile cases\u201d, he said no one makes a problem in the country but<\/p>\n<p>once there are problems the political class go out of the country to outsource help. \u201cI guess we have no choice because we are the ones who said we need international assistance,\u201d he said adding that the current situation playing out is on account of the political class.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Lesotho.
