Tora Sworn-In As Police Minister

Tora Sworn-In As Police Minister

Parliament member for Ulawa-Ugi constituency James Tora has been sworn-in as Minister for Police, National Security and Correctional Services at Government House today.

Minister Tora’s inclusion in the new cabinet now filled all 24 government ministries under the leadership of Prime Minister Danny Philip.

Tora was police minister in the CNURA government under the leadership of former Prime Minister Dr Derek Sikua.

Immediately after his swearing-in, Minister Tora said he is happy with his appointment and is prepared to take up his ministerial portfolio.

He said the government must settle down and work because people cannot just wait in vain while their elected representatives play with politics.
