"In September 2024, the RFP made arrangements with Ntaote to supply them with fertilizers and agricultural inputs as part of an effort to assist him in avoiding prosecution. As part of the party’s strategy, Hon. Sello Hakane was appointed to oversee the distribution of these proceeds of crime among his party caucus and other MPs. This was executed, yet the DCEO did nothing about it."

"Given the complexity of these allegations involving RFP MPs, I have become an easy target. The Constitution prohibits discrimination—if I financed Ntaote’s operations and he collaborated with RFP MPs to obstruct his trial, I should not be made a scapegoat for political expediency should their plan fail."

"As MPs, we often have policy disagreements in Parliament, but I cannot be prosecuted by my own colleagues under the guise of a DCEO investigation to conceal their ulterior motives. This covert and deceptive approach fundamentally conflicts with the principles of constitutionalism. The key question is: why aren’t RFP MPs being prosecuted by the DCEO?” Mr Lekunya argues."

"I believe my prosecution is intended to indemnify RFP MPs. To me, this is a clear case of abuse of power by the DCEO, given their previous statements and positions, which now contradict the charges they are bringing against me. This inconsistency is throwing the administration of the DCEO into chaos."
