Mutfwang said their appointments was aimed at reinvigorating the state civil service for optimum service delivery and to fill existing vacancies.

He described the new Permanent Secretaries as seasoned civil servants and bureaucrats and expressed confidence that they would perform their duties diligently.

"Bear in mind that your appointment is a public trust, which you must protect. You are to note that where any one of you is found wanting, necessary sanction will be administered on him or her," he said.

The governor said his administration was determined to reposition the civil service as the engine room of government to give it the credence that it deserved.

Mutfwang assured the people that he would work for the interest of all in the state irrespective of ethnic, religious or political affiliations.

Responding on behalf of the new appointees, Alexander Nyelong thanked the governor for finding them worthy to serve and assured him that they would discharge their duties diligently.
