Achievements:
I was the central figure in the drafting of the 1995 Education Act and the Teacher's Pensions Act of 1994. These Acts changed the position of teachers before the Law.
I sustained the 1995 teachers' strike which could have resulted in a national chaos had I wavered in the carrying out of Governments policy relating to teachers pay.
I drafted and piloted the Free Primary Education Policy in Lesotho. Again, I was the central figure in tackling issues related to the Free Primary Education programme.
I facilitated the launching of the Maluti - Drakensberg Transportier Project in 2001.
