Traditional political reprisals will not be tolerated in the future.

 I officially assumed the duties as the Minister of Agriculture, Lands, Livestock, Irrigation, Fisheries, and Aquatic Resources today (03).

I recognize that:

• The Ministry's role in eradicating rural poverty is immense, and the performance of our government officials will be key to our success.

• I am committed to advocating for our dedicated public servants to help create an efficient and responsive public service.

• Traditional political reprisals will not be tolerated in the future.

• We will not publicly question officials in front of the media, as previous leaders have done, nor will we entertain such media spectacles. My aim is to build a public service that both satisfies citizens and protects the dignity of public servants.

I emphasized these points during discussions with ministry officials after assuming office
