Maseru, Sept. 13 — Officers including Seniors have created a culture of mistrust within Maseru Central Correctional Institution (MCCI) hence are divided.
This was disclosed by Correctional Officer Tumelo Sekokotoana when testifying on the events of December 22, 2023 before the Commission of Inquiry on the escape of inmates.
Officer Sekokotoana said there is mistrust between officers in the facility which will not go away, saying officers are even labelled by Commissioners who were in charge when they were admitted in the institution.
“When we arrived at the institution, they called us Mothepu’s puppets because he was Lesotho Correctional Service Commissioner then,” he said.
