“As we open this Exhibit, and as you walk through the various photos of the accomplishments, our prayer is that you realize that your government is working for you, but for us who work tirelessly to achieve all of these accomplishments, our prayer is that our government will be able to move beyond what you see today as major accomplishments to a future where services of government will truly be felt by our people,” Sinarimbo said.
