Just see it all, his first and earliest appointments have gone to retirees, albeit, distinguished and honorable ones.
In building the new with the old, does the governor know that in the Commonwealth nation of New Zealand, a young girl in her thirties once became the Prime Minister who governed the country to rapturous acclaim ?
She had her first baby while in office as Prime Minister and only got married in her 40s to her fiance after leaving office. She remains one of the best Prime Ministers New Zealand ever had.
Here’s a little bit about her from Wikipedia:
Jacinda Kate Laurell Ardern was born 26 July 1980. A New Zealand politician who served as the 40th prime minister of New Zealand and leader of the Labour Party from 2017 to 2023.

The youths can also serve. Mix them with the retirees. The experience would not be bad at all. Plateau needs all the help that it can get, governor.

Jacinda Ardern was one of the most popular – and powerful – prime ministers in recent New Zealand history.
The youths can serve, and serve very well. At least as commissioners, advisers and secretaries etc.
