THE people of the new Hela Province called on the National Government to appoint acting administrator William Pando as full-time administrator.
The people of Hela have high expectation to see tangible development after being separated from the Southern Highlands Province and was fully recognised as a province of its own in 2011 by the National Government.
The people’s dream of seeing an autonomous and fully functional province after the National election in 2012 have all shattered as the province does not have an administrator to fully control and administer governments policies and delegate tasks to public servants in the province.
A local leader, Kopi Yope called on the NEC not to drag time but appoint Mr Pando for he has already acted on the position for months.
Mr Yope responds to the Hela Governor, Anderson Agiru comments on Post-Courier last week undermining the current acting administrator’s capability to run the affairs of the province.
“Why is Hela Governor stubborn? Why is Hela he (Agiru) continually passing the bug around in the media about appointing Hela Provincial Administrator?” he asked.
Mr Yope said Governor Agiru and his provincial government members including Mr Pando held three PEC meetings but there was no administrator for the new province.
“His PEC was there and had three PEC meetings before the LLG election. In these meetings, the PEC members endorsed three nominees for the administrator post for the NEC to select and appoint?
“The PEC does not have powers to make an appointment of a new administrator for a province.
“Agiru must know that Hela Province was not granted as an acting province but was confirmed and approved by NEC and by law as fully separated province,” he said.
Mr Yope asked Governor Agiru not to make decision that would ruin the smooth running of the infant province but to follow and respect the decision the NEC and Department of Personnel Management will make.
He questioned: “Why is Agiru twisting and questioning the NEC and the department? Let NEC appoint an administrator from the three nominees selected by Agiru’s own PEC”.
