It is with deep sadness and shock that I announce the heartbreaking news of the unfortunate and tragic sudden passing of our Governor for Morobe Hon. Luther Akisawa Wenge.
Our Songan, our vocal leader, Governor Wenge, passed away this morning at the Port Moresby General Hospital after an illness.
His sudden passing is a tragic loss and shock for the people of Morobe province and for Papua New Guinea on the eve of our countryโs 50th Independence celebrations.
Governor Wenge was more than a colleague. He was a strong leader, a seasoned lawyer, and a man of principle who dedicated his life to serving the people of Morobe.
His leadership, both as a three-term Governor from 1997 to 2012 and in his current tenure since 2022, was marked by an unwavering commitment to justice, development, and the wellbeing of our province.
His voice was always bold and uncompromising when it came to protecting the rights of our people.
He was a true Morobean son who stood tall in the political and legal arenas, and his contribution to our province and nation will never be forgotten.
My sincere condolences go to the Wenge family, his relatives, the people of Samangzing village, the people of Nawae, and the people of Morobe Province during this time of grief.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
As Morobeans, we mourn the loss of a great leader and a tireless advocate for our people. His passing leaves a void that will be difficult to fill.
My kandre and Governor, may your soul rest in eternal peace.
