There's this situation where the daughter of a State Minister in Papua New Guinea got appointed as the acting Managing Director for Climate Change without following the right procedures. People are not happy about it because it looks like she got the job because of who her dad is, not because she's the best person for the job. This kind of thing happening shows that there might be some shady stuff going on in the government there, like favoritism and corruption. It's a big deal because it can affect how well the government agencies work, especially in important areas like Climate Change. To fix this, they need to make sure appointments are fair and based on skills, not just who you know. It's important for the public to keep an eye on these things and speak up when they see something fishy going on to make sure the government is doing things the right way.
