“Critics of my government were those who had mischievous intentions.

“We have very violent critics and they do not criticise on the issues. That is the problem. They are angry that we have changed the status quo, the old order.

“People just cannot walk into Government House to tell lies to the governor or intimidate the governor to get money.

“So, of course, they say the government is doing nothing because we have decided to work for the many, instead of the few,” he said.
