Sir Kina’s career in the public service has spanned the history of Papua New Guinea since Independence.
He has been committed to the strengthening of the legal, political and constitutional apparatus which holds together the framework of service to the people.
Sir Kina has in the past 30 years gained a broad and deep knowledge of the laws and Constitution of Papua New Guinea both in the Department of Justice and in the Office of the Public Prosecutor, as well as his more recent experience in the Department of Foreign Affairs and in private law practice and recently as the Registrar of Political Parties and Candidates Commission.
Meanwhile, the vacancy left by Mr Steven has also been filled by senior lawyer Vincent Mirupasi.
