The Government of
Lesotho’s privatisation policy is implemented in accordance with the
Privatisation Act of 1995. The Act
established the
Privatisation Unit, which is mandated to plan, manage, implement and
control the privatisation process in Lesotho using over 12 different
privatisation methods outlined in the Privatisation Act. These
range from management contracts to the outright sale of shares and
assets. Implicit in this process is the promotion of Basotho
participation.
The privatisation process
is carried out in a transparent and competitive manner as set out in
the Privatisation Act 1995 and its Regulations. The parastatal to
be privatised, the method of privatisation, the private sector
partner to whom the parastatal is being privatised to and other
related matters have to be approved by Cabinet.
The
Privatisation Act No. 9 of 1995 and the
Privatisation Regulations of 1997 can both be purchased from the
Government Printers. |
