A university academic who was appointed as the governor of a province made headlines recently for their strict adherence to rules.
Known for playing by-the-book, the governor left quite an impression when a district secretary approached them for urgent approval of a critical matter.
However, the governor reportedly refused to meet the district secretary, citing his failure to schedule an appointment beforehand.
“If no prior appointment was made, I can’t meet you,” was the message relayed to the district secretary, who left empty-handed.
Later, the district secretary had reportedly entrusted the matter to two other senior officials, as it was an urgent matter but they too received the same response from the governor.
Remember your roots!
