The Director of the National Museum & Art Gallery, Dr Andrew Moutu has revealed that the Museum desperately needs qualified technical staff to run the institution.

He is calling on DPM to fast track recruitment to fill vital positions.

 “The biggest challenge that we face at the museum has to be the employing of critical technical staff. We have not been able to employ an Anthropologist, I was the last anthropologist here in 2004 before I went to work in England.
