Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>THE Directorate on Corruption and Economic Offences (DCEO) and the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) are set to challenge the High Court\u2019s decision that former Local Government Principal Secretary (PS), Lefu Manyokole\u2019s M39 million fraud case be tried in the Magistrates Court.<\/p>\n

This after the High Court ruled in Mr Manyokole\u2019s favour, sending his high-profile fraud case back to the lower court.<\/p>\n

The DCEO spokesperson, \u2018Matlhokomelo Senoko, told the Lesotho Times yesterday that they were going to appeal for an order to have the matter tried at the High Court.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are just waiting for the written judgement so we can prepare our Court of Appeal application,\u201d Ms Senoko said.<\/p>\n

High Court\u2019s Justice \u2018Maliepollo Makhetha on Monday this week granted Mr Manyokole\u2019s application to stop the DCEO and the DPP from transferring his case to the High Court \u2014 a move he branded as unlawful and vindictive.<\/p>\n

In September, Mr Manyokole filed an interlocutory application before Justice Makhetha challenging the DCEO and DPP\u2019s decision to move his case from the Magistrate\u2019s Court to the High Court. The transfer, he argued, exposed him to a much heavier sentence or fine than what the lower court would impose.<\/p>\n

When the matter was initially set to proceed, his lawyer, Advocate (Adv) Mahlomola Manyokole, informed the court that he would challenge the transfer, insisting that once the DPP had directed the DCEO to prosecute in the Magistrate\u2019s Court, there was no legal basis to reverse that decision.<\/p>\n

He accused the DCEO and DPP of acting unlawfully and in bad faith, describing the move as irrational, malicious, and unconstitutional, and arguing that it violated his client\u2019s rights under Section 12 of the Constitution.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe decision to indict me in the High Court is legally flawed and unlawful because the DPP failed to give me or the other accused reasons for her decision,\u201d Adv Manyokole argued.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the repository of power, the DPP is enjoined by law to make just and fair administrative decisions. In this matter, she failed to do so, and therefore her decision must be set aside as unlawful. The Magistrate\u2019s Court was legally competent to deal with the criminal matter as it did before.\u201d<\/p>\n

He further argued that before invoking Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure and Evidence Act (CP&E) of 1981, the DPP was required to establish jurisdictional facts such as interference with witnesses, threats to state security, or overriding public interest \u2014 none of which applied in his client\u2019s case.<\/p>\n

Adv Manyokole accused both the DPP and the DCEO of abusing their powers, saying: \u201cThe DPP\u2019s decision amounts to an abuse of power and is not supported by any evidence. She acted on no evidence, which clearly shows she improperly exercised her discretion. This irrational decision cannot be allowed to stand.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also submitted that his client would suffer prejudice if the trial proceeded in the High Court, having lost his former counsel, Adv Salemane Phafane KC, due to unaffordable fees at that level \u2014 fees he could afford in the Magistrate\u2019s Court.<\/p>\n

Citing Section 43 of the Prevention of Corruption and Economic Offences Act, 1999, Adv Manyokole maintained that once the DCEO is authorised to prosecute, the DPP no longer plays a role in the case. He therefore asked the court to review and set aside the DPP\u2019s decision and order that the matter (CRI\/T\/MSU\/0211\/23) proceed in the Magistrate\u2019s Court to finality.<\/p>\n

However, Adv Jay Naidoo, who appeared on behalf of the DCEO and DPP, strongly opposed the application, arguing that Section 144(1)(b) of the CP&E grants the DPP discretion to decide where an accused person should be tried.<\/p>\n

\u201cSection 144(1)(b) clothes the DPP\u2019s office with discretion as to where an accused (person) should be tried when jurisdictional considerations exist. The law does not require a consultative process with the accused, nor does it compel the DPP to provide reasons or justification for indicting a case before the High Court,\u201d Adv Naidoo said.<\/p>\n

He added that while the case could indeed be heard at the Magistrate\u2019s Court, the High Court also had jurisdiction. He urged the court to dismiss the application with punitive costs, describing it as out of time, frivolous, and completely without merit.<\/p>\n

When handing down her judgment, however, Justice Makhetha sided with Mr Manyokole.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Crown has not placed before this court the jurisdictional facts affecting public interest upon which the decision to indict the accused was based, as required under Section 144 of the CP&E,\u201d Justice Makhetha ruled.<\/p>\n

Justice Makhetha noted that Section 6 of the High Court Act clearly defines the circumstances under which a case that falls within the jurisdiction of a Subordinate Court may be moved to the High Court.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am satisfied that the Subordinate Court has the requisite resources to handle this case, as those courts have always tried similar matters,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

The judge further ruled that any delay in challenging the DPP\u2019s decision was not sufficient grounds for the High Court to assume jurisdiction.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore the accused have tendered their pleas, this is an appropriate stage for remitting the matter back to the Subordinate Court for continuation of case CRI\/MSU\/0211\/2023, as prayed by the applicant. The application for review succeeds with no order as to costs. The case is remitted to the Subordinate Court to be tried there,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Mr Manyokole is charged alongside former Local Government PS Nonkululeko Zaly, former Cabinet PS Thabo Motoko, and several others for allegedly embezzling M39,959,159.30 in state funds during the 2021 \u2013 2022 state of emergency declared by former Prime Minister Moeketsi Majoro following devastating floods.<\/p>\n

Other accused include the late Disaster Management Authority (DMA) boss Makhotso Mahosi (who was killed in a 2023 robbery alongside her son), Ketso Baba Ketso and his companies Kypros and Maru-a-Pula, Mooka Namoli, Setofolo Ramarou, Pule Thoahlane, Chipo Hulela, Keketso Makoko, and two companies \u2014 Gee M Construction and Botselo Pty Ltd.<\/p>\n

All accused were released on M20 000 bail under conditions that they attend remands, refrain from interfering with witnesses, and stand trial to finality.<\/p>\n

Messrs Namoli, Ramarou, and Thoahlane later faced four additional charges of fraud, corruption, money laundering, and bribery.<\/p>\n

The rest of the accused have not joined Mr Manyokole\u2019s application. However, they stand to benefit as they are tried together.<\/p>\n
