Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>In an effort to divulge its services to the masses, the Ministry of Social Development held a one day forum with the members of the media, representatives of the<\/p>\n

Sekete Mphalane said the Social Development portfolio is charged with the responsibility to address the needs of the vulnerable groups. She said when the reporters are conversant with the systems and the operations of<\/p>\n

the Ministry they will be able to give a detailed reporting about it. Presenting the Ministry\u2019s financial performance for the 2020\/2021 fiscal year, the<\/p>\n

Director of Planning \u2018Mankhatho Linko said they have not fully executed their budget despite achieving 80 percent execution rate. The Director mentioned that their performance was \u2018unsatisfactory\u2019 highlighting<\/p>\n

that around M60 million of the money was returned to the public coffers as it was unused. She mentioned that these funds arrived in January this year and it<\/p>\n

was not easy to utilise them given the short space of time which they could not have satisfied all the legal processes to use the government\u2019s funds. These<\/p>\n

unused funds according to the Ministry was budgeted for the school bursaries programme. One of the participants, Nthabiseng Mpanya said the forum has helped enhance her<\/p>\n

knowledge of the services rendered by the Ministry. This knowledge she said will come in handy as she normally receive questions from her listeners about<\/p>\n

the services in the Ministry of Social Development making an anecdote wherein during the lockdown she received the report of alleged incest act which resulted in the sister falling pregnant allegedly by her brother saying had she<\/p>\n

known then, she could have pointed the \u2018victim\u2019 to some of the departments within the Ministry to assist her with counselling. The Radio Maria journalist said she also<\/p>\n

learned why some people were not able to receive the relief assistance during the lockdown period. Mpanya further expressed confidence that she is armed with<\/p>\n

knowledge to better assist her listeners when they request guidance. In order to improve the service delivery, Mphalane said they will build a portal website which will enable feedback reports and interaction with their clients on the services that they render as well as the complaints.<\/p>\n
