LEPSSA BACKGROUND

LEPSSA was established under the Public Service Act No.13 of 1995 Part 5 Section 31(1) and under Societies Act No.20 of 1996 in October 2004. The association is also formed with the understanding that the rights of public servants are enshrined in the Constitution of Lesotho (Chapter 2, Section 16, (1) which gives every person “Freedom of Association”. Its main aim is to further and to protect the interests of its members, and also to make sure that public servants deliver good services to the nation.

We believe that we, as members of society, are entitled to basic human rights, political freedom, quality public services, good democratic government, a safe and sustainable environment, a just and equitable society, and a peaceful world.
