The representative stated that the blueprint for the new president’s early start to office had already been created.
The council is to create the template while taking into consideration the nine priority areas of the present government. One of the topics is security, he revealed.
According to Kana, his ministry is in charge of carrying out the directive and has already established a task force for the ministerial transfer.
