In preparation of the journey to the upcoming national constitutional reforms, the Right Hounarable Prime Minister Dr Motsoahae Thomas Thabane organised the Leaders Forum Conference in Maseru, starting from the 9th to the 12th August 2018.

The purpose of the conference was to discuss important matters with all the opposition leaders in parliament concerning the reforms.

However the leaders of the former government who are all members of opposition parties in the ruling government, stated that they will not partake in this leaders forum.

They emphasized that there is no way the prime minister can hold such a forum, when there are other important issues which by law still need to be resolved.

They Further said they will be part of the reforms only when the leader of the Lesotho Congress for Democracy (LCD) Honourable Mothejoa Metsing, who is in exile has returned back home and assured security by the prime minister.

They also indicated that they will be part of the national constitutional reforms if the case of the former Lesotho Defence Force (LDF) commander Lieutenant General Tlali Kennedy Kamoli has been finalized in court.
