Ila Geno

Speaking at his rally last Friday at Paramana village, along the Aroma Coast, Geno said there has been enough pain and suffering for the people of Central. He said corruption was the root cause of this.

Geno, who is contesting the Central Regional seat, said: “I’m driven by the pain and suffering of the Central Province.

“One of the fundamental reasons why I’m contesting the elections is because I want to provide political leadership on the floor of parliament.

“I want to get into power then select Central Province elites to be engaged in rebuilding Central.”

Geno began his career as a police officer in 1968 as a detective under Australian administration.

He served 25 years in the force and bestowed the top position of Chief of Police in 1992.

After serving out his two year contract as Commissioner of Police, he was later appointed Chairman of Public Service Commission in 1993.

In 1999 Geno joined the Ombudsman Commission, two years later he was elevated to the top position of Chief Ombudsman.
