Dear Minsiters,
You are the real heteros in the country, which would record in the history. You tried in best to take president in real direction tolerating all odds but could not.
Parliament should have the power to appoint secretaries to the ministries, Vice, chancellors, and ambassadors and more.
Then education in the country has a meaning.
Now I know 4 vice chancellors have no research publications. If you go to google scholar and check their names, you see their work.
Then how you develop the country through this henchman vice chancellors.
But unfortunately, university academic staff are coward people, they tolerate all these things. FUTA can make serious objection to reject this kind of vice chancellors.
I am sorry with a mistake I have typed ‘heteros’ in comment 1 above. It should be heroes.
