Nacosec offices temporarily shut down
MASERU-THE National Covid-19 Secretariat (Nacosec)’s offices at Avani Maseru Hotel were temporarily shut down on Monday after it failed to clear rental arrears running from July last year.
The Nacosec was established in June last year to spearhead the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic.
It has however failed to pay rent since it occupied its offices at the hotel.
The Nacosec Chief of Staff, Thabo Ntoi, told a press conference on Tuesday that “approvals and procedures took a long time and this led to our office closure”.
Nacosec and the Maseru Avani management were locked in long talks on the issue on Monday. They later agreed to reopen the offices on Tuesday.
