Modad, a former chairman of the ruling Unity Party (UP), expressed his frustration over the lack of support to push the government\u2019s agenda, particularly in small business empowerment.<\/p>\n

He called for the President and the Legislature to work together to effectively implement policies and programs that benefit the country\u2019s small business sector.<\/p>\n

Minister Modad highlighted the challenges he has faced in enacting meaningful change and improving conditions for small businesses.<\/p>\n

He underscored the vital role that small businesses play in driving economic growth and creating employment opportunities, stressing the need for robust support and cooperation from all branches of government.<\/p>\n
