The Caretaker Minister for Mining, Transport, Correctional Services, Culture & Tourism, and Environment, Conservation & Climate Change has called on all senior public servants to work together.
Speaking at The Holiday Inn ballroom this morning, Minister Johnson Tuke told heads of departments and state agencies under his care that they must work with the new government to achieve the visions and goals set by Prime Minister James Marape to ensure that PNG becomes a “rich black Christian nation” based upon principles of honesty, truth and sheer hard work.
Minister Tuke also asked those present to “earn their living on an honest pay” as stated by PM Marape in his inauguration speech to the country.
He also reassured them that he would just be a caretaker for a moment only, but when they do get their new ministers, they must give their total support and commitment to get their sectors moving forward under the new Government.
