The first forum will be held next week and the participating ministers will be given the opportunity to explain their work and answer any relevant questions, he said.

''Then another batch of cabinet members will come in two months. With five ministers in each forum, we will hold the public forum every two months and all ministers will have the chance to explain their work and answer questions. All questions that people have to ask will be answered within two hours. Similarly, every three months I will give the same opportunity directly to the people. We will hold a public forum and give the people the opportunity to ask me any questions they want to ask,” the President has said.
