MAFETENG – Opposition Democratic Congress (DC) leader, Mathibeli Mokhothu, last weekend continued his deafening salvo of attacks against the four-party coalition government of Prime Minister Thomas Thabane.

Speaking at an open-air rally of his party at the Thabana-Morena constituency in Mafeteng last Saturday, the former school teacher decried the two-facedness of the incumbent administration, which he said had derailed from all its pre-election promises to Basotho. Mokhothu said some of the leaders of the present government contributed to the demise of the previous DC-led regime because of their corrupt deeds, and “even in this present regime the same self-styled saviours of the electorate are still imbued with corruption”.

In a litany of alleged shady transactions by the Thabane-led administration, the DC leader claimed he was shocked a company was paid a whopping M3 million for landscaping service at Thabane’s official residence, he further claimed the construction of the Marakabei-Butha-Buthe road was allocated M700 million by parliament “but the same corrupt officials have added M200 million for personal gain”.
