THE newly appointed Public Prosecutor Kaluwin Pondros officially received documents and keys to the office as a token to assume his six-year term. And officiating at this were senior NCM members including Justice Panuel Mogish and members of the Public Prosecutors Office.

" I intend to pursue the reforms in initiated by my predecessor. And look forward to working as a team to ensure that our people are given the service they deserve." Mr Kaluwin who joined the Office in 1993 said he was also thankful of the good work undertaken by his predecessors.

He added that the biggest challenge continued to the recruitment t of lawyers and getting them to remain in the office. Other NCM members also added their share of advise, including Justice Mogish.

Secretary for Justice and Attorney General Dr Lawrence Kalinoe said it was important that a permanent head be appointed and he commended the Judicial Legal Services Commission for their decision. " Now you can get on with the business of running this office.

I wish you all the best. But let me also say that some of these reforms are yours and now is the opportune time to take it to the next level," he urged Mr Kaluwin.

He said he was confident that the new Public Prosecutor had a good grounding from his early days to the present. He further added that this would now help it create a new path for increased productivity.
