Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>The Deputy Prime Minister (DPM) Mathibeli Mokhothu had again appealed to the public to throw their weight behind the ongoing reforms process. Mokhothu<\/p>\n

said this week on Wednesday at \u2018Manthabiseng Convention Center when officially closing the three days Security Sector Workshop of the Roadmap for Development of National Security Policy and<\/p>\n

Strategy under the auspices of the National Reforms Authority (NRA). \u201cIt is important for every Mosotho to be involved in this document,\u201d he charged. He<\/p>\n

further mentioned that the document will come in handy when the proposed National Security Council has been established, promising that the efforts and<\/p>\n

inputs made during these three days will not go to waste but will be helpful in building the security document policy framework. Mokhothu also urged the security institutions to work harmoniously, a move he argues<\/p>\n

will ensure \u201csmooth\u201d journey of the reforms. The NRA Chairperson Chief Pelele Letsoela highlighted the security threats which confront the country- human trafficking, international organised crimes,<\/p>\n

artificial intelligence and cybercrime. Letsoela went on to indicate that this is an opportune time for Lesotho to boast \u201cflexible and adaptive\u201d security policy.<\/p>\n

Taking stock of the workshop, the Chairperson said it has been an \u201ceye-opening\u201d exercise. Section 8(1)(c) of the NRA Act says the authority should \u201cpropose and approve policy<\/p>\n

documents, draft Bills and any legal instruments from the Chief Executive Officer as may be necessary for national reforms in line with resolutions and<\/p>\n

decisions of Plenary II\u201d. The DPM had on Monday highlighted that the issue of security is getting rather complex, from the traditional based security issues, to the new forms of security<\/p>\n

challenges which include traditional organised crimes, human trafficking to artificial intelligence. Basotho had previously said they aspire for the establishment of a national security<\/p>\n

coordination body like the National Security Council (NSC) which is to be chaired by the Prime Minister and the rollout program of enhanced capacity building and orientation of security personnel in order to \u201cenhance<\/p>\n

professionalism and public interest\u201d. The security institutions have come under fire on numerous occasions for violating the civilians human rights. The<\/p>\n

politicians have also been accused of politicizing the security institutions. To this effect, they have also come under attack for \u201ccausing\u201d instability in<\/p>\n

the country. It is expected that there will be a Technical Validation Workshop which will consolidate the results from this workshop so as to provide \u201cshared vision\u201d for<\/p>\n

security as well as providing the recommendations on the way forward. NRA is a statutory organ established by the NRA Act No. 4, 2019. It is charged with<\/p>\n

the mandate to \u201cmanage, coordinate and lead\u201d reforms process guided by the National Multi-Stakeholder Plenary II document which contains the aspirations of the nation for the \u201cLesotho we<\/p>\n

want\u201d. The 59 member body is answerable to both houses of the Parliament. It is to implement reforms in seven thematic areas which are: Media, Constitution, Judiciary, Economy, Security, Parliament and Public Service reforms.<\/p>\n
