And now to the gentlemen. "And my question for Mr. Higareda is next. As the new Head of the Department of International Cooperation, you’ll be required to travel. What makes you certain that this won’t interfere with your active participation in the undertakings of the Board?"
Ahhh, so there were more personal questions, as well. Ones that are directed to specific candidates. Fantastic! What a great way to find out more about the candidates in depth! He was hoping for these kinds of questions, ones that weren't just what everyone had to answer.
Nodding as he listened to the question Branxton put towards him "Over the last year I have done quite a bit of travelling for my department and the ministry, but I haven't done it all alone, I have found that many in my team in IMC are very reliable and I can depend on them, and not worry about what will happen if I need to be away for any period. As well as having to send one or two of them on an assignment, rather than going myself."
Clearing his throat he looked around those seated in the chairs as well as his fellow candidates "I do not feel this will be much of an issue, I have full confidence in my team in the ministry. There's always the possibility that something might come up, but I will deal with the problem as it comes. Sometimes we need to designate those assignments out even if it is one that I would rather handle myself."
"Thank you."
