But before passing judgement, relating to whether the Justice removal was legitimate or illegitimate, it’s important to revisit the above Constitutional section. Section 124 of Lesotho Constitution especially subsection three, discusses at length the appointment and the qualifications of the appointment of a Judge to this Apex court. Nevertheless, Section 4 become more crucial in the whole process regarding the removal of which Judge Nugent referred to above. Section 124 Subsection 4 of the Constitution of Lesotho among others makes it mandatory that “Before tendering advice to the King for the purpose of this subsection, the Prime Minister Shall consult the President if he is available”. It is very clear from the President’s (Justice Nugent) letter that there was no consultation as the constitution mandated. The consequence of this PM’s action is a violation of the Constitution of which he was sworn to protect before the nation on the 16th June 2017 when he took oath of office as Prime Minister.
