Mr Eoe, yesterday officially announced the passing of one of Papua New Guinea’s former Governor-General, Sir Silas Atopare.
He said it is indeed a very sad occasion to announce to the country the passing of the Late Sir Silas, two days ago.
“Sir Silas was PNG’s seventh Governor-General and one of the important pioneers from his province.”
He was one of the founding fathers of this country, who emerged from humble beginnings from Eastern Highlands Province.
