Sonk is most likely on top of the ladder.
He works in the plane, in the hotel rooms and on the road just as he works in the office.
For those who work around him, he expects no lesser performance.

Sonk made his mark across the South Pacific.
He speaks highly of the neglected landowners.

Under Sonk’s leadership, Kumul Petroleum Holdings has presented K5 million – on top of a K100 million dividend payment last year – to the Government for Covid-19 operations.
Just recently, Kumul Petroleum Holdings Ltd signed a memorandum of agreement to fund the upgrade of the Angau Memorial Hospital’s National Cancer Services.
