Honest, professional ministers

From Republika

The next president will soon be occupying the office for a five-year term. The president may even be reelected for another term if he or she succeeds in carrying out his or her duties.

The government will run well only if the president and the Cabinet work together in an honest and professional manner. That means that all of the ministers will have to be capable in their respective fields.

Hopefully, the next president will appoint ministers based on honesty and professionalism. After that the government can handle other problems, such as battling corruption, upholding the supremacy of the law and improving security.

The environment should also be made a top priority because right now it has become an international issue.
