Morobe District Commissioner Nombi Takes Office Amid Criticism

Joseph Nombi has officially taken over as the new District Commissioner for Morobe, succeeding John Frew. Despite facing criticism regarding his appointment due to his origins from Chimbu, Nombi expressed confidence in his ability to serve the Morobe people, citing his extensive experience in various districts. He emphasized the importance of engaging with the community and understanding local affairs as part of his initial responsibilities. Nombi's previous role was as District Commissioner in Mendi, and he aims to address the concerns raised during the Morobe People’s Seminar last December. His commitment to the district's needs reflects a focus on unity and competence, dismissing the opposition to his appointment. This change in leadership aims to bring new perspectives to the administration of Morobe.
