This guy looks a bit stuffed-up in his regalia.
Hope an IQ test was performed to measure his capability for the position prior to appointment.
This Major looks a dumb-head.
Who appointed him?
I agree with Gindara and Esmee.
This guy not only appears to be dumb but he carries a pathetic previous service record.
The pamby* has messed up again; he never had the knack to find intelligent and appropriate persons for key positions in his Govt.
Following his swearing-in on 09 Jan 2015, he created a massive disaster by appointing RW as PM.
RW has zero capability of performung the PM’s role.
That is where the rot of the Gamrala’s Govt began.
