The Lesotho Highlands Water Commission has a new appointee with close ties to the ruling RFP, and questions are already mounting over how he got the job.
Lesotho Tribune can exclusively report that the Government of Lesotho has appointed a prominent supporter of the ruling Revolution for Prosperity (RFP) to a high-profile and reportedly highly lucrative position at the Lesotho Highlands Water Commission (LHWC).
Serious allegations against the appointee
But the appointment has raised serious questions.
According to impeccable sources familiar with the matter, the individual, whose name Lesotho Tribune is withholding for now, is alleged to have been caught sexually assaulting his domestic worker by his wife.
The appointment, and the circumstances surrounding the allegations against the appointee, raise questions about political patronage, accountability and the standards applied when making appointments to strategic state institutions.
The allegation has not been independently verified by Lesotho Tribune.
