Justice dept urges staff to work hard

DEPARTMENT of Justice and Attorney-General (DJAG) secretary Dr Eric Kwa has called on his staff to work hard to serve the people of Papua New Guinea.
Speaking at the contract signing of 31 senior national officers last week, Kwa urged the staff to change the public’s negative perception of the department.
He emphasised the importance of being a person of integrity to his staff.
In line with the Government’s stance against corruption, Kwa reaffirmed the department’s support and reiterated the zero tolerance for corruption to his staff.
“The department is a law office – as you are signing your contracts today, you are signing your integrity to this document – that you will be a man or woman of integrity which means a person who applies the rule of law,” he said.
“There is a negative perception of the public service.
“This department must change that perception, in signing your contracts, you are committing to our people, making a promise to continue to serve our people for the next three years and to diligently perform at your very best because you love this country just as much as I do.”
Kwa encouraged his staff to continue to work hard and be a shining example of a true public servant.
