“I have always been a media person, so to speak, and it is just coming back to what I love doing, to explain to the general public in a more palatable fashion as to things that may or affect their lives. I wouldn’t call it sudden, because as you know, as a media personality, you are always ready to come back to what you love. And thanks for welcoming me back and I hope that our relationship remains very strong and of course, I am always available. I will be the sole person and yes, I have the necessary information to disseminate. At the same time to not jeopardise the investigations, we will just control what we believe needs to be known out there. And yes, the post is director of communications and media relations from the office of the commissioner. This is not to say that the commissioner will not address the media at time, but he has limited the amount of people that will address the media and break it down that it will be my job. And at times, he will be the other person to be presenting the information to you.”
