Dismissing officials is easy with a single decree, but the trouble lies in the aftermath of their removal.
It has been proven that the farm projects led by bureaucrats have failed.
To solve the issue, what is required are loyal, incorruptible, capable officials who do not seek glory or profit and are willing to endure hardships in the colonies.
Such bureaucrats may exist, but they are certainly a rarity, treasures wherever they might be, without any to spare for the colonies.
Prime Minister Terence Burkin proposed, "Your Majesty, dismissing them now is pointless. The most important thing at the moment is to ensure these projects are realized.
I suggest a grace period to mandate the completion of tasks, dealing only with those who fail to meet the deadline."
A grace period was necessary, as the French government simply could not find that many replacement officials overnight.
