“Those saying government bought a cheaper vaccine, are they saying the government bought a lower quality vaccine? They are actually insulting the government. The most important thing now is to get the vaccines. I have no problem with Sputnik that has been banned,” he said in an interview on Citizen TV.
“When the president decided that it was time for himself and the Cabinet to take the vaccine, I think inadvertently someone forgot to invite me and I was not available for the exercise,” he said.
“I asked the president to produce information showing what I had done in private and in public to disrespect him or to elevated myself beyond what my duties are and the president was very candid with me, he told me there is no such information.
The director of intelligence was there and he also did not produce any information on the same,” he added.
