Board members appointed

MEMBERS of three new boards in Morobe have been appointed to serve for three-year terms. 
New members of the liquor licensing, land transport and Christian church partnership programme were sworn in at a ceremony at Yanga village outside Lae, Morobe, last Friday.
The church partnership programme is a new initiative of the provincial government, aimed at fostering closer working relations between the government, public service and churches.
Its board has nine members and is chaired by Wain Erap president Charlie Foike. His deputy is Pr Baafekec.
The eight-member liquor licensing board is headed by clergyman Robert Gesungtau, who is the longest serving member, while his deputy is chamber of commerce representative Nigel Merrick.  
Morobe Governor Kelly Naru is the chairman of the eight-member land transport board and Joseph Mand is his deputy.
Each board has a woman representative.
