He expressed that transitioning out of government had been a smooth and rewarding experience, as he now has more time to devote to his family and personal life.
He noted that his sense of contentment with his life after government service demonstrated that he was grounded and not overly attached to the trappings of power.
He said, “As Speaker, I was not living in the Speaker’s lodge. I lived in my own house. Most of the cars I was using were personal cars. Now, out of government, I do not miss anything. The only difference I can identify is that I have more time for myself and my family. I am no longer under pressure of government. I am no longer under pressure of office or whatever. I am not missing anything. It has been a very relaxing period.”
