After leaving the civil service in 2020 she has been actively involved in working with the Kingdom Harvest Ministries International and those within her Community at Naha in East Honiara in the hope of unifying and shaping young people to become exemplary citizens through sports and other community activities.

The Commissioner’s position has been vacant since May 2022. The Leadership Code Commission is delighted to welcome Ms. Regatule back to the LCC team as the newly appointed Commissioner.

“She is an asset to the Commission with a wealth of knowledge, administrative experience and has maintained good partnership with other Agencies and Offices she has served under, and we look forward to learning and working with her,” a statement from the LCC Office said.
