Their arrogance has an expiry date.
During these past two months working within Government, I have seen firsthand what many people have long been saying in frustration — that while the Executive works tirelessly to create opportunities, strengthen our economy, and improve the lives of ordinary citizens, there are certain high-ranking civil servants whose arrogance and lack of empathy are undoing much of this progress.
Let’s be honest. The majority of senior civil servants are hard-working, loyal, and committed to the public good. They carry a huge responsibility and often go beyond the call of duty. But there exists a small, poisonous minority — individuals who behave as though they are untouchable, as though they are gods in their offices. These are the false gods of the public sector.
When Authority Turns Into Arrogance
These officials forget that their position is meant to serve, not to dominate. They treat people with coldness, delay basic procedures, and act as if the public owes them a favour for simply doing their job. Their behaviour is not only unacceptable — it is insulting to every citizen who trusts the Government to deliver fairness and respect.
At first, I thought people were exaggerating when they complained about these attitudes. But once inside, I realised the truth. Many of these so-called “leaders” spend more time protecting their comfort zones than improving their departments. They treat employees with disdain, ignore ministers’ directives, and obstruct progress simply because they can.
They believe they are above accountability, and worse — they enjoy seeing the Government blamed for their failures.
A System That Needs Courage, Not Fear
These false gods thrive in a culture of silence. They manipulate processes, play politics behind the scenes, and punish those who dare to challenge them. Their arrogance is costing the country precious time, efficiency, and public trust.
True reform in public service will never happen until we expose and confront these individuals. The system needs people with courage — not those who cling to power by intimidating others. A public servant’s duty is not to preserve their chair, but to serve the people who pay for it.
Public Service Is About Humanity
To those who still think their office is a throne, let this be a reminder: power is temporary. The day will come when they must answer for every delay, every ignored request, and every act of arrogance that caused harm to others.
Public service is about humility, compassion, and respect. It is about using one’s position to make people’s lives better — not to make oneself feel superior.
Those who think they have won because I no longer hold office within the Prime Minister’s team are deluding themselves. My silence is not surrender — it is observation. I am watching closely, and when the time comes, every act of arrogance, every abuse of power, every betrayal of the people’s trust will be laid bare.
Their thrones will crumble, their masks will fall, and the walls they’ve built around themselves will no longer protect them. The comfort of their positions is temporary; the truth is eternal. The people are awake — and justice, sooner or later, comes for the false gods who believed they could rule without accountability.
