LESOTHO Correctional Service (LCS) Acting Commissioner, Chabana Majara, has been dragged to court over his January 2021 decision to reverse LCS officers’ promotions which were effected in 2015.
One of the promoted officers, Percy Bereng, who was appointed assistant superintendent in April 2015, last week filed an urgent High Court application arguing that Commissioner Majara does not have the power to demote him.
He also argues that he stands to suffer irreparable harm if his salary is cut and if he is compelled to pay the M100 169, which is said to be an “overpayment” on his salary from April 2015 when his promotion was effected.
