Despite the negative publicity against dismissed Cabinet Minister Lynda Tabuya, new Minister for Women, Children and Social Protection, Sashi Kiran is adamant to stay focused and continue with its mandated role.
Ms Kiran was sworn-in on Friday following the dismissal of Ms Tabuya after a leaked nude video on social media.
Ms Kiran, while acknowledging the flaw, admitted the ministry needed to continue serving the people even amidst drawbacks involving Ms Tabuya.
