ABC, DC in new fight
Pascalinah Kabi
THE country’s main coalition partners, the All Basotho Convention (ABC) and the Democratic Congress (DC) are said to be at each other’s throats again. This time over the recruitment of trainee police officers.
Authoritative DC sources, who spoke to this publication on condition of anonymity because they are not authorised to address the media on party issues, this week told this publication that their party was angered by its coalition partner’s decision to sideline its supporters in the recruitment of trainee police officers.
The Lesotho Mounted Police Service (LMPS) falls under the ABC-controlled Ministry of Police and Public Safety, which is headed by the ABC’s legislator for Thaba-Tseka, ‘Mamoipone Senauoane. It recently recruited 200 trainee police officers who began training at the Police Training Centre (PTC) a fortnight ago.
