He said, "If you are the one who holds a very high position, but cannot crack down on [illegal activity], then you do not need to be the governor! Let's be honest, there is no need to be the Minister of Agriculture, there is no need to be the Minister of Water Resources, there is no need to be the Minister of the Environment! If you cannot solve a problem like this, do not be a soldier, do not be a police chief. Get out from here, let’s do better!”
