INFAMOUS #Chinese businessman, Yan Xie, popularly known as John, has vowed to retain control of the government-owned #Lesotho Promotions and Marketing Services (LPMS) building until the government settles an alleged debt to him.

Inside the seized building is equipment worth M3 million belonging to the Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Business Development. This includes machinery for quality testing of products produced in the country as well as equipment donated by development partners and other donors.

The revelation was made during a Tuesday sitting of the Economic Cluster Committee, where senior officials from the trade ministry disclosed that John had taken control of the building, preventing access to equipment crucial for certifying products for local and international markets.
