Acting Attorney-General Siromi Turaga has publicly commended his staff for their hard work and resilience during what has been an exceptionally demanding year filled with heavy workloads and substantial responsibilities. He acknowledged the often-overlooked contributions of his team, asserting that their efforts are crucial for the effective functioning of the institution.
“This year has been tough. The work we do is not easy, and the pressure is real. Many of you carried responsibilities others may never see, yet continued to give your best. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed,” Turaga remarked, reinforcing the significance of each team member’s role.
Approaching the festive season, Turaga encouraged reflection on core values such as humility, sacrifice, love, and service. He stated that genuine leadership is founded on humility, irrespective of one’s role. He made it clear that the Office’s successes stem from collaborative teamwork rather than individual achievements and expressed his gratitude for the professionalism and stamina displayed by his staff throughout the year.
Additionally, he recognized the sacrifices made by the families of his employees, acknowledging their essential support. Turaga advised everyone to take a well-deserved break during the holiday season to reconnect with loved ones, emphasizing the importance of personal well-being.
In a spirit of altruism, Turaga reminded his staff that generosity goes beyond financial donations, highlighting that small acts of kindness can have a profound effect, especially during difficult times. This uplifting message of compassion aims to foster an encouraging atmosphere that employees can carry into the new year, making this a hopeful period for reflection and renewal.
