Finance ministry official suspended
MASERU — A senior official in the Ministry of Finance who called for an investigation into widespread corruption in the ministry has been suspended.
‘Mahelena Lephoto, who is the director of the internal audit department in the Ministry of Finance, was suspended by the ministry’s principal secretary Mosito Khethisa on November 8 for “possible gross misconduct”.
Documents seen by the Lesotho Times this week show that Lephoto was suspended on the same day she penned a three-page memo to Finance Minister Leketekete Ketso, Deputy Finance Minister ‘Mats’epo Ramakoae and Khethisa calling for investigations into allegations that some senior officials in the ministry were receiving kick-backs and bribes from clients.
Lephoto’s memo, titled Allegations on Ministry of Finance Management, was also copied to the Auditor General and Accountant General.
In the memo, Lephoto said there was need for an investigation because of allegations that some members of the management committee of the Ministry of Finance were “getting kickbacks and bribes from customers and/clients they serve”.
“There are also allegations of conflict of interest where some officers in management are said to be influencing decisions on the awarding of contracts to the companies that offer services at the Ministry of Finance,” Lephoto said.
She said the offices whose management was alleged to be involved in the malpractices are internal audit, procurement, Public Procurement Advice Division, accounts and pensions.
“There may be others, but these are the much talked about ones. It is my belief that to restore the image and integrity of the ministry, action has to be taken,” Lephoto said.
Lephoto then proposed that lifestyle audits be undertaken on all management “from the level of Grade G upwards”.
Lephoto further proposed that the audits be undertaken by an independent firm to ensure transparency and objectivity.
“This firm should not have worked at the Ministry of Finance and/or Development Planning,” Lephoto said.
She also called for the audits to be done by an outside body to ensure complete independence.
Lephoto said although the scope of the investigation fell under her office she could not be involved in the investigation as her audit staff was also being implicated. She then proposed to source the consultants from the office of the Auditor General.
She also listed five firms (names withheld) that she said should not be used.
Her basis for not using the firms, according to her memo, was that the finance ministry had in the past engaged these firms with unsatisfactory results.
“I propose that all firms (that) have worked with this ministry be investigated as well as to verify their neutrality because they are alleged to have given kickbacks and enriched individuals financially,” Lephoto said.
She added that even companies that had already submitted proposals to work with the finance ministry but had not been successful should also be excluded “from participating in the proposed exercise”.
“Once this exercise has been completed at the Ministry of Finance, similar exercises should be extended to other ministries in line rooting out corruption in the civil service. I hope you find this in order,” Lephoto said.
But on the same day she penned her memo Khethisa responded and suspended her from duty with immediate effect.
In the suspension letter, reference FIN/P/16843 and titled Suspension with Pay Pending the Outcome of an Investigation into your Conduct, Khethisa told Lephoto that he was suspending her on full pay “pending an investigation into possible gross misconduct on your part”.
“This has been necessary due to the seriousness of the allegations,” Khethisa told Lephoto.
“During this period of suspension, you shall not attend your place of work, other than for the purpose of assisting in the investigation into your conduct.”
Khethisa also told Lephoto not to contact any employees, suppliers, clients or stakeholders of the finance ministry “without my consent”.
The Lesotho Times understands that Khethisa has since appointed a South African audit firm, NEXUS Forensic Services to conduct the investigation.
Lephoto is however challenging the appointment of NEXUS Forensic Services alleging it is one of the companies that should have been investigated for allegedly giving bribes to staff within her ministry.
Lephoto declined to comment when contacted by the Lesotho Times.
Khethisa however told this newspaper that there were allegations that some people within the finance ministry had benefitted financially from the engagement of forensic auditors.
“What is important though is that she (Lephoto) is the one working directly with issues concerning forensic audit,” Khethisa said.
“I did not want to discuss this issue in the media but it’s obvious she is the one who has taken it to the media. This will put a dent on her credibility considering the position she holds.”
Khethisa added that it was weird that Lephoto wanted to instruct as to which forensic audit company should investigate her.
“It is totally wrong and out of line for one to push to decide which company should investigate them. I’ve never come across an individual deciding who should investigate them,” Khethisa said.
“Again, there are other officials in the ministry involved in the audit but she is the only one making noise about this issue.”
Kethisa added that the investigation into Lephoto’s alleged gross misconduct had already been concluded although “she would not cooperate”.
“The investigation has been concluded but very unfortunately the lady refused to be interviewed by the investigators,” Khethisa said.
“We are yet to decide how we’re going to deal with it.”

Comment by Alexis on 20 December 2012:
In my opinion Lephoto’s letter is very straighforard and seeks to avoid the very misconduct she is now being accused of. She is requesting that everybody who was ever involved with the Ministry to be investigated. I do not sense any personal nterest in the letter as the investigations she seeks will exhonerate anyone and restore the integrity of the Ministry of Finance.

Comment by Oa Quthing on 20 December 2012:
Mr Khethisa don’t undermine our intelligence! Common sense has it that ‘Mahelena Lephoto is in the right path of rectitude. The fact is she has caught you unawares! With God, more truth is coming. She never dictated you who to engage in this investigation, but it wouldn’t make sense for her to volunteer that you involve companies she alleges are accomplices. Keep it up Lephoto we are behind you.

Comment by LEKHOARA on 20 December 2012:
Corruption is a very complex crime,only those who are unable to hide their tracks will be caught. Khethisa, the power vested in your office cannot help you escape if you are indeed involved. Crime in general only requires change of mindsets and attitudes, no amount of investigations and safe-guard measures can stop a criminal mind from manipulating the system.
Comment by Lefefooane on 20 December 2012:
That auditor general is too incompetent. She should havwe long picked up those “kick backs” but she never. Among people who must be shown the door or be asked to resign is that auditor general. She has failed this land. She has not done any audits at all. Disgusting!!!
Comment by Lefefooane on 20 December 2012:
Actually the auditor general herself must be audited for fitness to hold such an important statutory office. I call on the Letsema government to evaluate the performance of the auditor general. As far as I am concerned she is the weakest link in as far as audits are concerned.
Comment by Lefefooane on 20 December 2012:
PS Khethisa should not only be investigated but he should have long long long been relieved iof his duties. Long time this Khethisa guy should have been relieved of his duties. Joale o ntse a tsoelapele ho tsipa mobu. Khethisa and Khetsi should have long gone if this Makipikipi government must realize its dream.
Comment by Marathon on 20 December 2012:
Lesotho haeso!
Too much of anything at the end becomes a problem; too much power corrupts. The rampant corruption in this country has ultimately became a disease. This is the moment and time where vehemently the professional bodies need to interfere to protect their members from power abusing politicians who think they own Lesotho and Basotho.
I do not purport to be a judge here, but from what has been written in her memo, I see no misconduct Lephoto has done except that she was about to walk on a sacred place and as such had to take off her shoes…
Things could have long changed for better in the ministries if it wasn’t for the fact that here in Lesotho professionalism is being supressed by corrupt individuals who see it as a threat to point out their maladministration and abusive conduct in offices.
Oneday the truth will come out…
Comment by Marathon on 20 December 2012:
@ Lefefooane,
The statutory duty of Auditor General is not to report on corruption or fraud occurring in ministries. It is not the responsibily of her office to do that. Auditor General has a team of some qualified staff and I do not think her office is indeed incompetent as you suggest, infact the issue here is not on the office of Auditor General so let us not defocus.
What is interesting about this story is that, rightful it is Lephoto’s duty and responsibility to report on issues of corruption and fraud as she is an Internal Auditor, but when she does exactly that she gets suspended….who’s fooling who here!

‘Mahelena Lephoto’s sin is calling for lifestyle audits on senior managers and to Mr PS, this is a “possible gross misconduct”. Well, ‘Mahelena’s letter is clear and logical even to a layman like me in matters of auditing. The interesting story is the appointment of the consultant that makes the list that Director Lephoto is complaining about; a company that clearly has an interest in the whole issue of investigations and kick backs ‘Mahelena is complaining about. It is clear that Lephoto not being part of the corruption ring has cost her her job and I would say to the good director; it is now not about your job but what you believe in. It is about a small contribution you are making to rid this country of untouchables and corrupt leaders who have turned to Dracula and parasite behaviors for get rich schemes at the expense of the country and its people.

Might you Ms Lephoto holds a Masters degree. She has so many years of experience as an Auditor from the Office of Auditor General. To me she is well qualified to be given this position.
But it sounds to me like she is being prevented by all means to carry out her duties as her profession requires. Can someone be kind enough to enlighten us which misconduct Lephoto has done.

Apparently the lady bought a vehicle “cash”! and when that transaction raised concerns she starts scribbling pages of literature implicating other people. Let Khethisa be investigated, we’ve heard about Ocean Basket issues, problem is that our leadership turns a blind eye when we advise them! I find no reason why Khethisa is still holding the current position! Finance is the crux of any government, and is under the control of opposition! Oh God! Let someone establish who appoints almost all people on the BOards of Parastatals! you will be amazed! almost all Boards dance to his music. I salute the former LEC Board of Directors! Men and Women who can stand for what they believe, and not allow being bullied by some Minister. What happened to NAC? find out who was behind all this! you will continue to be amazed.

If anybody in this country is to be suspended is Hon. Thahane. What kinda man would dissolve the Board in order to pursue his personal interest of appointing some “favourite”? He should be investigated more than anyone else in this country. Do you know that his “Dr.” credentials are “honorary”? the likes of Dr. Mosisisli and Dr. Thabane but somehow almost everybody believes he is some indispensable person the Country cant help losing. I am not impressed at all with what comes out of his mouth!!

There is no smoke without fire. I wouldn’t agree with you more friend. This country needs people who are capable of taking decisions – the country cries for leadership. Many a times people are scared of making decisions becuase they are incompetent and lack self-esteem.
It is apparent something is cooking at Ministry of Finance, the deal has gone sour…
