Former Oti Regional Minister, Joshua Makubu says he was a bit surprised about his removal from office.

This, according to him, is because no concerns were raised about him during his tenure in office as a regional minister for redress.

He therefore found it strange when the President told him he could no longer be part of his government after the ministerial reshuffle on the 14th of February.
