  Guure Brown's article makes interesting reading. I wonder how he applying his expertise to solve the myriad internal and external communication problems which bedevil the Ghana Gas Company where he works. Since you profess to have a cure for the ails of government communication I can only advise thus: 'Healer. Heal Thyself."
  Deal with your Ghana Gas communication problems. Otherwise, keep your counsel to yourself.

  Patience- or whatever your real name is, you sound intellectually bankrupt- typical of a lazy Ghanaian who has nothing to offer yet finds it difficult to appreciate other's effort.
  If Brown's article makes interesting reading as you confess, what do you make of his apt analysis of government communication? What communication problems has Ghana Gas Company? And even if they do, can't Brown proffer his professional opinion on government communication? Please come again else I hear only the sound of an envious soul.

  My dear Brother Kwaku, you are right to say I am intellectually bankrupt and lazy. Because I am not an intellectual but a simple, lazy housewife. May be I should mind my own business in Tongo so I do not get insulted for expressing my views.
  As a Communication Expert, our kinsman Guure Brown, should be dealing with the communication problems of his company and not leaking information to the public. And with this character he is nursing an ambition to be to become my NDC MP for Talensi.

  Patience, true housewives are not that lazy, yet able to magically work out who holds what ambition. Get yourself some cotton and do some knitting- you won't be that bored in Tongo.

  It is important to educate the likes of Guure Brown Guure that both the NDC Party and the Mahama Government have a communication strategy which are implemented at full throttle. If Guure Brown thinks that he can follow up his nicodemous meetings with the Deputy Chief of Staff with such silly articles with a view to cause disaffection for those who have been tirelessly working to communicate the Party and Government agendas; then he will need to rethink.
  Over the years, a lot of us have sacrificed to keep the Party and Government issues on the front burner of public discourse, whist the likes of Guure Brown are enjoying fat salaries and pecks of their corporate world. If Guure down wishes to work on government communications, he should resign from the Ghana Gas Company and get into the trenches with our colleagues.
  Are you a better communication expert than Stan Dogbe, Omane Boamah, Koku Anyidohu, Fiifi Kwetey and Solomon Nkansa ?
  May be Ghana Gas has to audit Guure Brown's contribution to the promotion of the wobbly image of their company.

  Guure why do you offer this sort of advise? Are you not aware that 'fool soldiers' like John Afadze and co who cannot string a sentence together would lambast you? The truth hurts and they are afraid they may loose their job per your revelations. If the government has a strategy, what is it? Where is it? Why is every Tom, Dick and Harry talking for the government? Is that a strategy? John you are useless masa

  Nice to be called a 'fool soldier. ' When I cause to be published in the newspapers some of the nefarious leaks about ongoing in Ghana Gas which the likes of Brown Guure Brown have sent to the Deputy Chief of Staff, you will think twice to deride me as a 'fool soldier' who cannot string sentences together. For starters, who is Mrs Beryl Amegah? What is her crime that she has been so maligned in latest leaks from Ghana Gas to the Deputy Chief of Staff?

  Guure, I admire the way you draw similarities of communication issues and the parallels in treatment of same across countries. This is a masterpiece and should be appreciated by the government- which I believe they would. As for the commentators hiding behind pseudonyms, I think they are not worth a thought.

  Well said Brown, i wonder why people are pretending this is not true. There is just too many confusion in the govt communications, one moment a minister is on a radio station somewhere saying something n another minister is on a tv station saying another. Every body wants to be seen as working n non is doing anything. Truth hurts but its important we access ourselves n learn something from Browns analysis instead of all the negative comments.
