Metsing “shocked” by lack of Covid-19 vaccine budget
Bereng Mpaki
OPPOSITION Lesotho Congress for Democracy (LCD) leader, Mothetjoa Metsing, says he is shocked by the government’s failure to allocate funds to procure Covid-19 vaccines for its citizens.
Mr Metsing was reacting to yesterday’s budget speech by Finance Minister Thabo Sophonea. The former deputy prime minister said by failing to allocate funds to procure vaccines, the government “had missed an opportunity to make a big statement underlining its seriousness in dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic”.
In his budget speech, Mr Sophonea said the country would acquire the Covid-19 vaccine through the COVAX facility (a fully subsidised initiative by the World Health Organisation [WHO] to enable poor countries to get free vaccines) in April 2021.

PARLIAMENT on Friday dismissed a motion to force politicians to reveal the identities of the funders of cash and goods they donate during the ongoing Covid-19 crisis.
The motion was tabled by the Democratic Party of Lesotho (DPL’s) proportional representation legislator, Limpho Tau, on Friday. Mr Tau had asked the government to compel legislators and other politicians to disclose the sources of all their donations to the Directorate on Corruption and Economic Offences (DCEO).
“This honourable house resolves to urge the government to promulgate regulations that will oblige all members of parliament and other politically exposed persons to disclose and clear with the DCEO the source and origins of funds used to purchase food packages and other aid they donate to the public,” Mr Tau said in his motion.
