Married in December of 2011 and has one 4 years old child and an adopted 6 years old child. Wife is also a medical doctor; a Paediatrician and is from the East Sepik Province. I have 4 siblings and am the second last child in a family of five.

I come from the Lanekep clan of the Yanairin Tribe in the Wabag Central area. My tribe are the traditional land owners of what is now Wabag Town.

Highlights

The following are some leadership highlights of my career:

As the Coordinator for the Sopas Project I have delivered this project very successfully and also has attained international re-cognition by getting aid from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade of the Australian Government. 

For more than 2 decades, our provincial government has been trying to get assistance from the DFAT of the Australian Government but attempts have been futile till now. 

The DFAT have come in because of the very high level of transparency we maintained through delivery of initial projects here at Sopas and the level of quality in projects delivered.

For six years, Prime Minister James Marape and the PANGU-led government have promised change, development, and prosperity. Yet the reality on the ground is devastatingly clear: deteriorating roads, empty medical stores, unpaid provincial grants, and a frustrated generation of unemployed youth. Despite record-breaking K27 billion budgets, where is the progress? The Opposition's call for Marape’s resignation is not just a political play — it's an echo of the people’s growing despair.
