Text

Minister, you therefore cannot explain why there was so much confusion last night. You are very fond of showboating, theatrics and attacking and trying to belittle people who try to scrutinise you. Minister, you have nothing to fear from a little bit of scrutiny. Perhaps you should realise that. When are you going to step up and protect those people?
