Sacked foreign minister speaks.

 

“Although several successes were chronicled during my tenure, those successes were not by any means achieved with ease. There were many challenges that affected work processes and as a result undermined the overall effectiveness and efficiency of the Ministry. Although these challenges, especially those deliberately orchestrated, rarely stood in the way of performance, they nonetheless served as a distraction and slowed down progress. I sincerely hope you will not be subjected to such but if you are, I believe you will stay focused. Some of these challenges include the following:


“Blurred lines regarding where the functions of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs ends and where the functions of other state institutions begin; insubordination on the part of some Ambassadors/High Commissioners; managing and Dealing with Conflicts in Missions; inadequate allocation of funds to the Ministry and its overseas missions.”
