The European Union (EU) and local legislative drafters have commenced a four-week training session in Maseru aimed at enhancing governance and the rule of law in Lesotho.
The initiative is part of the EU-funded ‘Support for the Reform and Strengthening of Governance in Lesotho Programme’. It seeks to improve the efficiency and quality of justice services, particularly for women, children, and marginalised groups.
Deputy attorney general, Makhele Sekati, underscored the training’s significance, noting that it aims to build the capacity of the office of Parliamentary Counsel.
He stated that the office plays a crucial role in preparing high-quality legislation that is accessible to the public.
The training will address complex legislative issues, including constitutional amendments, enhancing the overall transparency and accountability of governance institutions.
As Lesotho embarks on a journey of reconciliation and reform, the programme represents a critical step towards fostering human rights, gender equality, and good governance across the nation.
