Twenty staff from the National Volunteer Service of Papua New Guinea signed their contracts as Managers and were commissioned as public servants recently.
They will be heading various divisions and sections in the organisation. The officers signed their contracts in the presence of the National Volunteer Service Executive Director Molly Willie and National Volunteer Service Council Chairman Bernard Maladina.
National Volunteer Service Council Chairman Bernard Maladina said that they want to set a new trend where officers are transparent and held accountable in their work conduct towards themselves and especially to the citizens of this country.
“We want to bring forth a new group of public servants that are effective and efficient in delivering Government services to our people without fear or favour.”
From the twenty officers who signed the contract, there were four Directors which included the Director for the newly formed Public Relations and Marketing division, Jacqueline Krewanty.
The sixteen others were managers in the respective divisions of Corporate Services, Public Relations & Marketing, Volunteer Management and Policy, Planning, Research and Monitoring & Evaluation.
The contract signing and commissioning was facilitated by the Dirua lawyers, whose managing director Emily Dirua, also present encouraged the commissioned officers to stick to their oaths.
NVS Executive Director Molly Willie welcomed the officers onboard and encouraged them to be model public servants in their respective positions.
