Your promotion is coming after the organisation took a bold decision to defend the people of this country when the former President was surrounded by political criminals who took advantage of his age and attempted to hijack the revolution.Senior officers like yourselves need to be always on high alert, be able to analyse situations and make sound decisions timeously.
