This will be the last cabinet meeting before the new year.
In a Twitter message on Tuesday, December 29, 2020, the Minister of Information said that “the key to his agenda will be to examine proposals to ensure the safety of our children, should schools reopen.
He argued that the government had been excellent at handling COVID-19 and would continually make decisions that would be in the best interest of the country.
“These decisions are not taken lightly. But so far, all of his COVID-19 management decisions have been perfect. Fingers crossed, he will make the best decision in the interest of our children and our schools, ”he added.
