He has not been elected by the people of this province, and he is not held accountable to the people of this province. Yet, he is now making decisions related to the distribution of significant amounts of money.
If he wants to appoint a cabinet, he can do it after he has been legitimized. Otherwise this is a circumvention of the democratic process.
