Strategic Leadership Transitions
When questioned about the timeline for these high-profile personnel changes, the Home Minister indicated that the process is already in motion but requires a measured approach. “Some changes will certainly be implemented; it just requires a little more time to ensure a smooth transition,” he stated following a high-level meeting at the Prime Minister’s Office within the Cabinet Division.
While the Minister did not specify which particular offices would see new appointments, insiders suggest the reshuffle aims to bolster public confidence and enhance operational efficiency across the force.
