Secretary’s Easter Message

Secretary Taies Sansan

As Easter descends upon us I would like to extend my warmest greetings to each and everyone of you, who grace the offices of the Department of Personnel Management. This is a time of reflection, a time of hope, and a time to acknowledge the blessings we share, both personally and professionally.

As we reflect on the spirit of Easter, we are reminded of the basic Christian principles that resonate deeply with the values of the public service such as integrity, honesty, compassion, and selflessness are not just religious ideals; they are the very cornerstones of an effective public sector.

Just as Christ demonstrated unwavering commitment to his mission, we too are called to approach our work with dedication and a strong sense of purpose. Just as Jesus showed compassion for all, we must strive to serve every citizen with fairness, respect, and understanding. And just as he exemplified humility, we must approach our roles with a spirit of service,  putting the needs of our people first.

I want to express my sincere gratitude and profound admiration for the exceptional work you undertake every single day in service to the people of Papua New Guinea. Your commitment, diligence, and  unwavering dedication form the foundation of the public service. You are the engine that drives progress, the hands that shape our future, and the hearts that care for our communities.

The work you do is often demanding, and at times, may feel unseen. But I want to assure you that your contributions are vital and deeply appreciated. You are the embodiment of the public service, and I thank you.

The message of Easter is one of hope and renewal. It reminds us that even in the face of challenges, there is always the possibility of new beginnings and positive change.  We will undoubtedly encounter obstacles and complexities, but it is our collective spirit, our unwavering commitment to ethical conduct, and our belief in a brighter future for our country that will guide us through. Let us embrace the spirit of Easter by recommitting ourselves to the highest standards of work ethics. Let us be guided by principles of transparency, accountability, and fairness in all our dealings. Let us foster a culture of collaboration and mutual respect within our teams. And above all, let us remember that our ultimate goal is to serve our people with integrity and dedication. As you spend this Easter with your families and loved ones, may you be filled with joy, peace, and renewed strength. May the message of hope inspire you in your lives and in your
