Chair for the Public Service Commission Lauano Vaosa Epa’s last day in office is this coming Friday.
PSC staff who spoke on the condition of anonymity told Radio Polynesia they are holding a farewell luncheon for Lauano on the same day.
Repeated efforts by Radio Polynesia to get comments directly from Lauano were unsuccessful to date. Last year August, Prime Minister Fiame Naomi Mata’afa confirmed the appointment of Lauano as the Chair up until April, 2022.
This was after the former Chairman, Aiono Mose Sua tendered his resignation the first day the FAST Administration took office.
The press release issued by the Government at the time indicated that Lauano who has been serving as a Commissioner to move into the position of Chair of the Public Service Commission for the remaining part of her 3 years contract which will conclude in April this year, but its now November.
The Government stated in their release last year that the Public Service Commission serves a significant and important part in the workings of Government and they are pleased they can have continuity of leadership in the Public Service Commission through the appointment of Lauano to the Chair of the Public Service Commission at that time.
