The published press said that considering the minister’s past, he seems not to believe in democratic forces or in the continuity of the democratic process. The PBC called a judicial commission to investigate Naseem.

“The prime minister of Pakistan is urged to expel him immediately from the federal cabinet for the sake of broader national interest and the continuity of the democratically elected government, so that it is not too late,” the statement said.

Lesotho murder case: the Prime Minister does not appear in court

by

Lipolelo Thabane was killed outside his home in the capital Maseru a few days before the Prime Minister’s inauguration in June 2017.

A statement from his office confirmed that the Prime Minister had gone to South Africa early Friday morning for “urgent medical attention”.

“The reason we are making this statement to the press is to put the rumors that the Prime Minister did not want to appear in court,” said the statement.

Thabane was due to appear in court on Friday, where the police intended to accuse him of the murder of his ex-wife and the attempted murder of his friend.

His office added that he would appear in court once his medical treatment was completed.

Combat

However, one of his senior aides told CNN on Friday that Thabane was healthy and “ready to fight” on the murder charge on the eve of his appearance in court.

The aide, who communicates regularly with Thabane, told CNN that he was surprised by the “no-show”.

“He was planning to go to court until the last minute and we had organized supporters to be there with him. He was fired,” said the senior assistant. “He was fit and healthy.”

“He should have gone to court. He should be the guardian of the law,” said the assistant. “There is a power struggle going on at the highest levels of government and civil service.”

The medical visit to South Africa also surprised the Prime Minister’s attorneys themselves. On Friday, a senior police officer told CNN they were waiting for him in court on Friday morning, as did the Prime Minister’s attorneys.

“We have a strong case against him,” deputy police commissioner Paleka Mokete told CNN. “Most people in Lesotho were shocked by this case, even the police in Lesotho.”

A compelling story

The current first lady, Maesaiah Thabane, has already been accused of the murder of the former first lady in a previous court appearance.
After weeks of hiding in South Africa, allegedly helped by a recently appointed spokesperson who took her away in a government-owned car, 42-year-old Thabane, she was also charged with attempted murder of another woman, who was with the former first lady when she was killed.

Maesaiah Thabane was taken into custody but was promptly granted bail for 1,000 Loti or about $ 67, without prosecutors having their opinion – a very unusual move.

He has yet to present a reason for the charges against him. The first lady’s legal team has so far not responded to CNN’s phone calls and text messages for several days.

Police say eight other suspects will be accused of their ties to the case, even if their names have not yet been made public – including the spokesman, who prosecutors say has helped and favored the first lady while fleeing to South Africa.

Details of the case gripped the country, forced Prime Minister Thomas Thabane to promise his resignation and opened the lid on the dark power policy that has long dominated Lesotho culture.

When – and if – the case is tried, observers say that pursuing sordid accusations against one of the most powerful figures in Lesotho will be a severe test of judicial independence.
