Maseru, Sept. 09 — The Senate has reopened after the winter recess and with it came a clear and urgent call, Economic reforms must take centre stage.
Speaking at the seventh meeting of the first session of the Eleventh Parliament the Vice-President of the Senate, Mr. Tsukutlane Au, told members that while the nation has made progress on constitutional reforms, the journey of change is far from over.
“It has taken us more than ten years to get this far,” he reflected, noting that of the seven categories of reforms identified for Lesotho’s renewal, only one constitutional reform has been addressed. Six remain untouched, and among them, he stressed, economic reforms are the most critical.
With a tone both candid and concerned, Mr. Au posed a question that hung heavily in the chamber: “How long will it take us to get to the next ones?”. . .
