Quotes The launch of the Index of the Laws of Lesotho (1800–2024) is a historic milestone for the legal sector, particularly for the Ministry of Law and Justice. It has become an essential point of first reference in the delivery of my duties and rightly deserves to be called a vehicle of good governance for our country. With this digital version, we can now easily identify which laws are obsolete, which are active, and which have been amended or repealed. This clarity promotes legal certainty for both citizens and institutions. I urge all sectors to tap into the Commission’s expertise in legal research and reform, especially when reviewing or drafting laws that affect their domains. Such collaboration will help ensure a precise record of ongoing reforms and eliminate inconsistencies in our statutes. Ramoeletsi hails Lesotho Laws Index.sunday express(8 July 2025) You have asked for my comment on what is said about me in a recording by Messrs Mofomobe and Molelle. You would like me to comment on two issues raised by the two gentlemen namely, that I have ‘killed’ the Honourable Deputy Prime Minister by advising her to admit under oath that she talked to the Director of Public Prosecutions about the possibility of dropping charges against certain two members of parliament. This is how I respond. My response assumes, that the recordings are real and that it is the two above named gentlemen who are heard on those recordings. First of all, an affidavit is a statement made under oath where a deponent swears to tell the truth on the facts that he or she knows. To suggest that I advised the DPM to say what she said in her affidavit is fallacious and shows absolute lack of appreciation and absolute contempt for the facts. I didn’t have to advise the Hon DPM, and I did not. But assuming without admitting that I advised the Hon DPM, would these two gentlemen rather I should have advised the Hon DPM to lie under oath in order not to ‘kill’ her, as they say? I would never advise anyone to lie under oath. It’s even worse if it’s someone in the position of a Deputy Prime Minister. On the utterances that I should have been sacked following my alleged advice, I am glad none of the two gentlemen is the Prime Minister. Otherwise, I have nothing else to say on this one.
