PM’s office rubbishes ‘looting’ claims
MASERU-THE Prime Minister’s Office this week rejected charges by the Auditor General that it has blown M1.5 billion on salaries and allowances for the National Covid-19 Secretariat (Nacosec) staff.
Prime Minister Moeketsi Majoro’s spokesman, Mosito Moqhekoana, told a press conference yesterday that the M1.5 billion “was just a proposal that was never even taken to Parliament for allocation”.
The Auditor General’s report which was leaked to a local newspaper showed that the budget was initially M698 million but by August 2020 it had ballooned to a staggering M1.5 billion.
The Auditor General, Monica Besetsa, is reported to have found that the money was spent on salaries and allowances for Nacosec staff.
