“Public servants of his generation were primarily motivated by the passion for service.
“I’m pleased to recall the distinguished public service record of the late minister who discharged his responsibilities with the fear of God and selflessness.
“His being called upon to serve in various capacities after his retirement was a testimony to his varied character and reputation,” the president said of the late statesman.
