“The Minister of Information is very keen on the safety of employees, as she takes all necessary precautions to preserve her health and the health of her small family, as well as the health of the employees and those working with her in the Ministry of Information, which she considers her larger family.”
The press office categorically denied the content of the published article and deemed that “its purpose is to undermine the reputation of the minister who works with conscience and responsibility.”
“We hope that the aforementioned newspaper will be keen on transmitting the correct news in order to preserve its credibility,” it concluded.
