Joint Ministers-Governors Conference on Public Service Matters

Politics Erodes Public Service Over 46 Years

The Prime Minister shared this at yesterday’s Joint Ministers-Governors Conference on Public Service Matters in Port Moresby.

PM Marape said that over time, this has allowed for complacency and corruption to become a ‘cancer’ within the functions of the public service.

“Over the last 46 years, if I may say this, we have allowed politics to erode the functionality of our public service,” he told ministers, governors and senior public servants.
