The Papua New Guinea Public Employees Association has formally sworn in eleven new executives to lead the association.
Of the 15 executive members, eleven took their oaths of office yesterday before Councillor Wallen Langap in Port Moresby.
Members of the Public Employees Association, including Acting Industrial Registrar Natasha Utubasi, attended the inaugural ceremony.
The Public Employees Association is the largest trade union in Papua New Guinea, representing more than 10,000 public sector workers across national, provincial and district administrations, statutory bodies, municipal services and disciplinary forces.
Among the eleven executives sworn in were two female representatives: Theresa Dieni from the Southern Region and Jane Kotoveke from the New Guinea Islands Region.
The newly sworn-in executives represent all four regions of the country.
Warren Ilaraki was sworn in for his third term as President of the Public Employees Association, while Nida Itaki was appointed Deputy President.
President Ilaraki said the union represents the interests of public servants and pledged to work closely with the new executives and sister unions to address the pressing issues and challenges facing public sector workers.
