“Carrying out all these tasks requires financial resources and you come from the finance sector. For the past five years, you have learned all the channels we have been using to secure funds. Therefore, you will supervise the person who will take your former position so that they can also follow the same paths to obtain funds and ensure the work gets done. In short, you have a very big responsibility,” the President said.
