Public Servants in the East New Britain (ENB) Province held their dedication service at the Vunamami United Church Ground recently. Speaking during the service, the ENB Provincial Administrator Mr. Levi Mani urged more than 500 public servants who gathered for the service to be dedicated to serving the people of the province. He said the implementation of services rest entirely on the level of work that public servants do every day. “We stsnd here today to offer ourselves as public servants to improve service delivery to the 400, 000 population in province and the entire population of Papua New Guinea (PNG).” ENB Provincial Deputy Governor Boniface Gerep, who also offered up remarks during the service, reminded public servants to be honest in their line of work. “We have to change the norm. Let’s turn up early to work and leave at 4:06pm. Many of us turn up at 11am and takes off at 2pm,” Mr. Gerep said. “We are stealing from our people every time we don’t follow the conducts of the administration or government that we serve.” He further added that the year 2024 calls for a change of mindsets to advance the visions and mission of the province. “We recently passed our provincial budget for this year which stands at more than K519 million and the onus is on us to implement the services so it reaches our people.” Meanwhile, ENB Council of Churches Chairman Ps Anthony Kivung told public servants to put God first in their lives. He said they have to be better ambassadors in their own communities. “We have to shift and transform ourselves to better this year,” Ps Kivung said. He applauded the provincial administration for initiating such programs as it shows that God still has a place in the administration and government. Ps Kivung wished the entire public service machinery a best working year this year, 2024.
