"We are happy about this move, I mean it’s great to have a young guy on Board who’ll represent the youth as they should, so let’s see how it goes we however hope that he won’t be corrupted by power, you’ve all seen what it does to people"
Jaguar dismissed allegations of potential corruption and favoritism, stating that his appointment was a result of his hard work. He thanked the President for believing in him and revealed his involvement in crime eradication efforts.
