As you also know, I am now migrating from the corporate environment to the public sector in the private sector, we have codes of corporate governance, and here in the public sector, we also have the Code of Conduct for the public servants.

What we have simply done today is to comply with the requirements of the law by filling the forms as stipulated by law, he added.
