Speaking in parliament on the opening of the first session of 2014, the president said the leaders should be at the forefront in setting example for others.
Referring to various events that took place in the country during the year 2013, the president, without mentioning the name of any individual, said last year’s events, which happened in both the private and public sectors, had given rise to mistrust and discontent.
“Even a small evil deed reveals and is spoken about widely, especially if it tells of arrogance, with that moderation and sense of justice should not be ignored,” said the president.
