He said:
“But what happened in this case is that we were not consulted. So we just heard her name on air. Initially, we didn’t complain, taking into consideration that Mr President has the right to appoint anyone. And as loyalists of the president who understand democracy, we accepted his choice.
“But again, we don’t know her, and since we don’t know her, we can’t vouch for her competency for the job."
"Maryam Shetty will be considered for another job", Ganduje assures
While acknowledging the role played by the former nominee, Ganduje assured that she would be considered for another appointment.
