According to the governor, his administration is not pursuing any vendetta but working towards the progress of the state.
He challenged critics to keep records of his work and judge him after he has finished his tenure, questioning why anyone in power can take public property and convert it for personal use.
On his part, the monarch told the governor that the emirate council had set up a vigilante group towards enhancing security and peaceful coexistence among residents.
