“Now that you are in the government, try to prove yourselves; don’t seek personal rewards, work hard so that the people of the state will see what you have done and reward you “, the monarch urged the appointee.

Expressing gratitude for the honour given them the awardees in their respective speeches promised that they would not let the group down.
