He also aired tirades against corrupt individuals and organizations and warned that he would humiliate them and strip them naked of their business.
“You know, I can really slap you. You know I can kick you in front of secretaries. Do not try to tempt the gods of the Cabinet, Not me. Do not do it,” the chief executive said.
