Deputy Minister of "Affairs" Resigns: Serving the Country Is Not Tied to a Position

Deputy Minister of Social Affairs, Dr. Khalid Al-Ajmi, submitted his resignation from his post to Minister of Social Affairs, Dr. Amthal Al-Hawila, citing special considerations and circumstances. He emphasized that public responsibility is not a privilege tied to a position, but rather a trust entrusted, a confidence bestowed, and a duty whose measure of fulfillment is what an individual contributes to his country during the period he holds that responsibility. Al-Ajmi added that serving the nation is not confined to a specific post, and national responsibility does not end with the conclusion of an official assignment; rather, it remains a constant value upheld by officials wherever they may be. Loyalty to the nation and leadership, along with public service, remain the most important hallmark of every stage in one’s career.
