She thanked Secretary MS Taies Sansan for her leadership which enabled DPM staff and other Public Servants to apply for the Australian Awards Scholarship, and said  that this has helped to reduce costs and also builds their capacity and competency.

Ms. Wrakuavia applauded for the program to continue and give opportunity for officers who have served longer in the department and who have not had an opportunity to be part of such an arrangement.

Mrs. Christine Lakani also offered her appreciation to the department and to the Secretary for endorsing her training program as this achievement will enhance her career in Human Resource Management and Contracts Administration.

She said this opportunity has revealed to her that those who have been in the department for so long without undergoing training lack experience and certain skills, therefore, the training program is needed to enhance their knowledge and capacity building.

“The program has helped me and it is very important that officers who are long-term staff of the department be given the same opportunity to build their skills and knowledge and excel in their own respective jobs in the department.
