Putin: ministerial merry-go-round would do more harm than good

MOSCOW. April 25 (Interfax) - President Vladimir Putin believes Cabinet members should be given some more time to work despite the growing number of grievances about them.

"I am drawing your attention to the fact that the government has not worked for even a year. Not even a year has passed," he said during a hotline with the nation on Thursday.

"Plenty of grievances must have accumulated over this time, of course, but people should be given a chance for self-fulfillment," he said.

"Is a ministerial merry-go-round necessary? I don't know. It will sooner cause more harm than good," he added.
