Kiti Temo, currently the Official Secretary at the Office of the President, is poised to become the new Chief of Protocol at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Office of the President recently advertised her position, signaling a shift in roles.
Ms. Temo has served as the Official Secretary since the tenure of President Jioji Konrote. This position is vital for ensuring that the counsel provided to the President adheres to the framework of Fiji’s Constitution. The successful candidate for the role of Official Secretary will need to collaborate closely with the Prime Minister and other Cabinet Ministers to guarantee that the advice rendered is both accurate and constitutionally sound. As the Head of Department, this individual will also manage the day-to-day functions of the Office of the President, ensuring compliance with legal standards and operational efficiency.
The job listing emphasizes the need for applicants to embody the values of public service as articulated in the Fijian Constitution. Candidates must demonstrate good character and integrity, and the role is exclusively open to Fijian citizens under the age of 60.
This transition highlights the commitment of the Fijian government to uphold constitutional integrity and effective leadership within its ranks. As Kiti Temo prepares for her new role, there is optimism that her experience will contribute positively to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, enhancing diplomatic relations and protocol standards. The shift presents an opportunity for fresh perspectives in governance, promising a focus on integrity and public service values.
