The Chief of Staff, Akosua Frema Osei Opare, is appealing to Ghanaians to measure their expectations of the Akufo-Addo-led administration due to the negative devastating effects of Covid-19 on the world economy.
Her comment comes on the back of agitations by a section of the public demanding better governance from the ruling NPP government dubbed #Fixthecountry.
Speaking at the 2nd Public Relation Summit in Accra, Frema Opare said government ought to be commended over how it is handling the pandemic and called on the public to support government to build Ghana together.
“I want to appeal to the public that our expectations on a Covid-19 environment should be very measured because you only have to turn on the TV, and you will see the devastation that Covid-19 has brought to even developed countries.
“We are part of a global community, so we not insulated. I think Ghana has done very well with the way we have dealt with the crisis and the way we have supported our citizens from all levels,” she stated.
Frema Opare also charged government communicators at various state institutions to step up their information dissemination to enable the public to appreciate the achievements of the Akufo-Addo’s administration over the past years.
Chief of Staff also retreated government’s commitment to providing Communication Vans for the Information Services Department to step up their communications to propagates government’s programmes as it was approved at Cabinet before the 2020 elections.
On his part, the Information Minister, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah was unhappy how some ministers and heads of state institutions feel reluctant to release information to their respective PRO’s to disseminate same to the public.
He, however, pleaded with the office of the Chief of Staff to whip all ministers and heads of institutions in line to open up with information to enable PROs to get adequate information for the Ghanaian public.
