“I must point out that three of the seven persons being sworn in today are returning members, having been privileged to be re-appointed. The remaining four are newcomers to the state executive council.

“Let me remind you all that this appointment must not be seen as an opportunity for self-service. While discharging the responsibility that will be assigned to you, you must imbibe our culture of transparency, accountability, fairness and value for money.”
