Acting Official Secretary Mr. Bill Toraso has confirmed that Governor for Madang province Hon. Peter Yama and Governor for Gulf province Hon. Chris Haiveta have been recommended for awards in the Queen’s Birthday Imperial Honours and Awards.  Mr. Toraso was responding to a recent media article that referred to Governor Yama as Sir Peter even though Mr. Yama was not awarded a knighthood by the Governor General.   Mr. Toraso clarified that Mr. Yama has been recommended for an award together with Gulf Governor Chris Haiveta.  That recommendation has since been sent to Buckingham Palace awaiting approval.   Mr. Toraso said, once approval is given, the appropriate awards and titles will be awarded to the two Governors accordingly.     “The process for nomination for awards under Imperial Honours and Awards for Mr. Yama and Mr. Haiveta was done and sent to London awaiting final approval. Once approval is given, both Governors will be notified to receive their awards with the appropriate titles,” Mr. Toraso said.  PC: Parliament of Papua New Guinea web
