Lesotho: Businessmen Want Fleet Tender Corruption Charges Dropped

19 November 2019

Two local businessmen, Teboho Tlokotsi and Tumo Ramonaheng, have filed a Constitutional Court application to stop their trial for corruption in connection with the government vehicle fleet tender. The Constitutional Court is expected to hear the duo's application today.

The duo want the trial stopped on the grounds that they were prejudiced by a pre-trial conducted by the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and the Directorate on Corruption and Economic Offences (DCEO).
