  16. Boy or boy. PNG government so good in drafting flowery policies and whatever blablabla to endorse and struture this scheme. This goverment is not a people friendly government. How can we communicate and interact with the dept managing recrutment as all your webpage sits, emails and phones are all out of service. This is the best employment opportunity for Papua New Guinean but still this goverment show nill interest. I bet you can cannot even answer any of the letter of interest email sent to you even this email.

    • Let me further say that the smaller PI countries, see Solomon Is & Vanuatu government delivery and perhaps faring well and far above what PNG is doing for it’s people.
      Try googling to find out how to apply and the PI sites will pop up giving clear and precise information and directions for its citizens to apply.
