“I humbly urge all the women, all the female public service officers, do not yield to biases and stereotypes. Act with boldness, act with clarity, act with purpose. Build networks, seek mentorships, share your knowledge, (0:36) sharpen your strategic expertise and excel in your discipline. Position yourself as an indispensable contributor to national development”, she stated.
