Maseru, Feb.11—The newly appointed Directorate on Corruption and Economic Offences (DCEO) Director General Advocate Brigadier Mantso Sello is said to be on secondment. This is according to the Lesotho Defence Force (LDF) Spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Sakeng Lekola.

Therefore, he explained that Advocate Brigadier Sello is only on secondment emphasizing that he is still a member of the LDF. He said once his term ends, he will return to the army. He stated that as he cannot hold two positions simultaneously, there will be an officer to take off his duties within the army…
