New Age2.png No proof of unclean cash Kamogelo Seekoei, The New Age, Johannesburg, 17 June 2016 Lesotho Prime Minister Pakalitha Mosisili said that South African banks that shut down accounts belonging to all Gupta familycontrolled businesses could have handled the matter better and differently. In an exclusive interview with The New Age and ANN7 in Maseru this week, Mosisili said the banks should not have involved themselves in politics but service to the people. "We have watched with a lot of interest the happenings in South Africa and without wanting to appear to be interfering I think they (Oakbay and the Guptas) were not handled well, particularly by the banks," Mosisili said. People of such "potential and might to invest" must be treated better. "I am not aware that there has been any evidence that has been brought forward that their money is not clean," he said. Earlier this year, Absa, First National Bank, Standard Bank and Nedbank as well as the auditing firm KPMG closed their accounts with Oakbay Investments, a company controlled by the Gupta family. This came after a storm of accusations that the family was involved in "interviewing" people for positions in President Jacob Zuma's Cabinet. Mosisili said the Gupta family was welcome to invest in Lesotho and that the revoking of Atul Gupta's diplomatic passport as special advisor to then prime minister Tom Thabane last year was nothing personal. <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] From: <http://tnaepaper.co.za/DRIVE/main%20edition/17062016/epaperpdf/1.pdf> http://tnaepaper.co.za/DRIVE/main%20edition/17062016/epaperpdf/1.pdf -- -- You are subscribed.
