Prime Minister Peter
O’Neill announced yesterday that Brigadier-General Francis Agwi will
continue as commander of the Papua New Guinea Defence Force on an interim
basis.
General Agwi’s term
as Commander expired at midnight last night.
The process to
appoint a new commander is currently underway.
“The appointment of
Agwi on an acting basis is therefore necessary to fill the vacuum, and to
maintain command and control in the force while the appointment process is
completed.
“Agwi has shown
professionalism and dedication in his years of service to the military and
country. He led by example in maintaining stability in the force and I would
like to thank him on behalf of the people of PNG for a job well done,” Mr
O’Neill said.
