The governor’s warning serves as a reminder to his public officials that they are expected to serve with integrity and should not take advantage of their positions of power for personal gain.
He said:
“Very important is the issue of financial discipline.
This is not the time to marry a second or third wife.
This is a time of financial prudence.
Anyone found engaging in corrupt practices will be severely sanctioned.
“Your appointment is part of the process by my administration to kickstart a process that will produce a democratically elected local government system.
“I am directing you to hit the ground running by developing your respective local government areas through developmental initiatives.”
