His Majesty further added that they play a vital role in ensuring that government policies and plans are implemented effectively.
The King emphasised the importance of a work culture rooted in honesty, transparency and efficiency, while rejecting any form of abuse of power, corruption, or misconduct that could erode public trust in state institutions.
