Eastern Highlands provincial admin

Letters

MINISTER Elias Kapavore has spoken and he wants Samson Akunai left where he is.
Eastern Highlands has experienced unexpected turbulences in the recent past in regards to the many changes taking place in the appointment of provincial administrator.
It is truly welcoming for a lot of us in Eastern Highlands who would like to see the province brought back to its former days of glory and accolade.
A person like Governor Peter Numu should know the procedures involved in the appointment of department secretaries and provincial administrators. No governor or minister can use their own free choice to remove or appoint officers.
The National Executive Council, of which Governor Numu is not a member, has the final say in the appointment of provincial administrators after considering a short list of candidates, which is usually forwarded to it by the Provincial Executive Council.
