Reform needs reformers.

People think that being a Minister gives you extreme power to do what you want. They are mistaken. The power lies within the bureaucracy of the institution. Even reform itself takes a long time and will not happen overnight. You need people within the institution to believe in reform so it will succeed, after all they have to carry it out. If reform is against their interests they will not support it. In matter of fact if the people working in the institution will not support what you believe as reform it will fail. You need the administration which follows you to believe in the same reform track otherwise they will change direction. So usually people are afraid of the future, but most comfortable with the present, because they know it and know how to deal with it. Any change may deprive them of interests or gains whatever they were.
