The Mineral Resources Authority's (MRA) Managing Director, Jerry Garry, recently signed his new four-year contract of employment, at the Government House at Konedobu, Port Moresby.
This is Mr Garry's second term as the MD for the MRA, having served in this capacity from 2019-2022. Between 2022 to early 2023, Mr Garry served as the Acting MD until his re-appointment to the position early this year by the National Executive Council (NEC).
The occasion also saw several heads of overseas missions signing their contracts. The signing of the contracts were witnessed by the Governor General H.E. Sir Bob Dadae and the Secretary for the Department of Personnel Management (DPM) Taies Sansan.
Mr Garry said his re-appointment and the signing of his contract, paves way for the MRA to further consolidate its focus on key priorities in the mining sector. The priorities include the successful conclusion of the Community Development Agreement (CDA) for the Porgera Project, and ensuring that the regulatory approval process and associated issues for the Wafi Golpu projects are managed effectively.
The MD thanked Prime Minister Hon James Marape for having the confidence in his leadership, and for the opportunity to continue to lead MRA.
