The sensitization workshop, which was scheduled to start at 9:00am began at 11 :00am, after the district coordinating Directors, finance officers and civil society organizations in the region failed to turn up early.

The Minister, who refused to read his speech, cautioned them not to repeat lateness to events.

“I have been waiting for several hours just to address you but you chose to come late, I am warning that let this be the last time you ever attend a program or an event late, I will not tolerate such attitudes in my era.”

The Minister later advised them to manage their time very well, saying: ” I know we all have equally important duties, but I must be frank with you, time is really of the essence in nation building and we cannot build our nation if we do not respect time.”
