PM defends action on hand-picking of Permanent Secretaries

Prime Minister, Manasseh Sogavare says he will be hand-picking candidates in the process of appointing people for the position of Permanent Secretaries.

In an exclusive interview with SIBC, the Prime Minister says he felt the idea of hand-picking people from a pool of about eighty applicants was crucial for purposes of effective governance.

He says this is very crucial because he wants to make sure the right people are recruited to carry out government functions within the four-year term in office.

Prime Minister Sogavare points out that under his leadership, he wants to see people who can effectively discharge orders of the Legislative Executive.

He says the simple logic about this concept is that government must deliver services it had promised to the people of this country within its term of office.
