What has really changed?

There are thousands of people working under the former ministry of information. What happens to all of them? Sometimes we assume the ministry is just the minister in charge. The truth is Ministry of information staffs cannot necessarily do ministry of communication duties.

In effect the minister of information has been moved to the presidency. Lol

38% and 57% which is a mark of competence? It is not your false, you guys have been programmed to think and behave the way your pay masters want you to behave. The next elections your corrupt party will lose further constituencies either to the NDC or independent candidates. Ghanaians are not interested in lies any more.

The information ministry has a duty to carry out confidential investigations into complaints about federal institutions’ handling of access requests, giving both complainants and institutions the opportunity to present their positions.

well, i digress. i think gh news agency should fall under the
presidency and regulate all news being disseminated to the ppl. the news should be controlled. however, the information ministry should be an established ministry on its own. infact, there should be an information minister as well. You see, the work of the information ministry is to ensure that issues of the day are supported nd disseminated to other arms of the govt using the most transparent and efficient methods. In essence,
the role of the Information Commissioner of Canada is to ensure government transparency. staff of the ministry should be made up of a workforce of investigators, lawyers, access to information and privacy analysts, public affairs experts, human resources and finance specialists, and security and IT professionals......Information Commissioner of Canada

In the era of ICT communication is delivered via digital platforms so the ministry of communication is enough to deal with modernizing and dissemination of government information. No need to duplicate the system You can government spokes person to counter opposition propaganda but to have a full ministry of information it is not necessary. All information departments that use to disseminate information using public vans and microphones is obsolete. We can even convert those offices to internet caffes and printing houses for commercial purposes to generate revenue

Good job! Every department and ministry has a spokeperson anyway. What's the the point of having a separate ministry for information. Great move, Mr President.
