Sir John Pundari

New Environment Minister takes over

Also on the list is the Protected Areas Policy, the rehabilitation of the Varirata National Park, and the Kokoda Track and Interim Protection Zone around the Brown River Catchment.

Yesterday, the Member for Kompiam-Ambum handed over the reins to new Minister Geoffery Kama, who now takes custody of these establishments.

The member for Kompiam-Ambum, since 2012, was Minister for Environment and Conservation, a portfolio he held since the Peter O’Neill-Sir Leo Dion cabinet, and subsequently after the 2017 election in the O’Neill-Abel government.
