Yesterday, I joined Basotho in Thaba-Tseka as we switched on electricity for over 421 households across six villages. Working together with the Ministry of Energy and local partners, we are moving closer to universal electrification by 2030.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga. Africa has lost a voice of democracy and courage. I will remember his wisdom during his visit to Lesotho earlier this year. My prayers are with his family and the people of Kenya. #RailaOdinga #AfricaMourns

I later joined fellow Heads of State and Government at the opening of the 80th Session of the UN General Assembly. This platform reminds us that unity is not a choice but a necessity if humanity is to overcome challenges of climate change, inequality, and conflict.

I had the honour of meeting with the UN Secretary-General. Our discussion reaffirmed the role of small nations like Lesotho in shaping a fairer, more inclusive global agenda. As Basotho, our voice matters at the highest table of diplomacy, and I carry your hopes with me.
