MASERU-SHOULD Lesotho legalise prostitution?
That is the emotive question MPs will put to the public when they have gatherings across the country to discuss a Bill that seeks to legalise prostitution.
But even before the MPs have held a single public gathering a firestorm has ensued over the proposed law.
On one hand are groups that oppose the Bill on the basis of morality and religion.
Such people are quick to reach for the Bible or other religious book to justify their hostility to the Bill.
Among them are those who use cultural refrains to push back against the proposed law.

Government of Brazil donates 6000 RT-PCR COVID-19 Tests to the OECS
When COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic in March 2020, the OECS embarked on a rigorous response to mitigate its effects on Member States. This response included renewed partnerships with development agencies, a new partnership with the private sector and support from bi-lateral friends.
The Government of Brazil donated USD $100,000 to the OECS in support of their response to obtain testing supplies. 8000 swabs/sample kits have already been distributed to the nine participating Member States of the OECS Pharmaceutical Procurement Services (PPS). The procurement and delivery of the 6000 PCR test kits took a bit longer than planned, nevertheless, 5000 of them arrived in Saint Lucia at the right time while the remaining 1000 are en route. These test kits need to be kept at very cold temperatures, at all times.
