Abstract

The Lesotho government has taken four British business groups to court, charging them with paying bribes to the chief executive, Masupha Sole, of the Lesotho Highlands Water Authority. The companies, Balf our Beatty, Sir Alexander Gibb and Co, Stirling International Civil Engineering and Kier International are charged alongside the Swiss‐Swedish group, ABB, Impregilo of Italy, Acres International of Canada and Sogreah, Dumez and Cegelec of France. Balfour Beatty was a partner in the Lesotho Highlands Project consortium and is accused of paying more than £1 million to Sole over three years. Kier International and Stirling International, within the Highlands Water Venture consortium, are alleged to have paid him £250,000, while Sir Alexander Gibb and Co is accused of transferring £51,478.01.
