1 Johane 5:13 e re botša gore, “Ke le ngwalela dilo tše gore le tsebe le na le bophelo bjo bo sa felego, lena bao le dumelago leineng la Morwa wa Modimo.” Modimo o nyaka gore re kwešiše phološo. Modimo o nyaka gore re kgonthišege le go tseba gore re phološitšwe. Ka boripana, la re hlahlobeng dintlha tša bohlokwa tša phološo: Ka ho totobetseng, ho bolela hore tekano ea PMP e tla u fa monyetla oa ho ba mookameli oa ts'ebetso e phahameng ho feta batho ba sa tiisetsoeng.

It has become a common knowledge that, former Justice Mosito was impeached and was subsequently replaced by Justice Nugent as the President of the Court of Appeal in Lesotho. The question of Justice Mosito’s impeachment is not the subject of this paper, but the removal of Justice Nugent. We have discussed at length above about importance of following the laws in a democracy and how individuals like Justice Nugent has to be treated by governments under the democratic dispensation. It also a common knowledge that on the 10th August 2017, Justice Nugent wrote a letter to His Majesty and the Prime Minister claiming that his removal from the highest court was unconstitutional. He cited the Legal Notice 62/1017 in the Gazette of 1st August 2017 published by his Majesty on advise of the Prime Minister (PM) Thabane as follows; “it appears to me that the purported removal from office is contrary to Section 124 (3) and (4) of the Constitution of Lesotho and invalid but I donot intend becoming embroiled in any controversy on that issue. To the extent that the notice is invalid…..I find it necessary to add that I am disappointed at the lack of courtesy in failing to inform me in advance of your and his Majesty’s intentions. Had I been informed I would have gladly resigned without the need for my purported removal, which I found extremely insulting”. Clearly, something is very wrong here. This surely cannot happen in a democracy.
