At the round-up session of the 3-day retreat with the cabinet members, I explained to the team the reality on ground: we are building from scratch with very limited resources.

Based on our current reality, our manifesto has been dissected and...

...we now know that we can’t do everything we had set out to do and, because of this, we will focus on key sectors. We are going to go big on agriculture, health care, education and enterprise - social investment scheme, job creation and infrastructure.

We have few motor-able roads, electricity supply is low, the healthcare and the school system have collapsed. I can't over-emphasise the challenges ahead of us and that means we all have to work together. That is what a cabinet is all about.

We are all in it together like the symbol of our political party — broom. So, we need to be strong together to move the state forward.

I also reminded the cabinet members that they are ambassadors of their respective communities and...

...they must be able to tell us what the priorities of their communities are so as to ensure they feel the impact of our administration.

I am grateful to everyone who made out time to share their ideas with us and I thank the Almighty for making the retreat a success. #Iseya
