The finance secretary claimed that decisions within the SNP had been made by 'too few people' after long-serving chief executive Peter Murrell dramatically quit.
Kate Forbes has declared she has "full confidence" in the process to elect a new SNP leader despite the party being rocked by a wave of resignations among its top officials.
The SNP was finally forced to admit last week that it had lost 30,000 members over the last two years - despite rubbishing earlier reports of an exodus. Forbes previously backed a call from her rival Ash Regan for an independent auditor to be brought in to check the result of the leadership contest. Asked if the SNP leadership contest was being run fairly, Forbes said: "I have full confidence and trust in the process.
Asked what had gone wrong during the party's time in government, Forbes said: "The ability to listen and understand the priorities of the people we are here to serve."I'm speaking to you from one end of the A9 - Scotland's backbone. We said we would dual it, we haven't done it. We need to be able to deliver.
