Former LCA board members acquitted
MASERU-MAGISTRATE Phethise Motanyane has acquitted seven former board members of the Lesotho Communications Authority (LCA) who were facing charges of fraud and abuse of office.
This was after the prosecution failed to produce the docket for the trial to proceed against former LCA boss Tšeliso ’Mokela and the former board members who are Lefa Mokotjo, Monare Thulo, Paseka Khetsi, Bokang Lethunya, ’Majankie Fako and ’Mamofuta Kale.
Prosecutor ’Mamorongoe Baasi told the court that the dockets were being held by a private prosecutor.
Advocate Baasi said Private Investigator Pitso has been holding on to the docket since September 28, 2020, when the last former directors were added to the list of suspects.
