Eugene Arhin, Director of Communications at the seat of government, the Flagstaff House, has been practically emasculated in his role as Director of Communications at the Presidency with the appointment of Mustapha Hamid as Minister of Information and Presidential Spokesperson, Koku Anyidoho, a Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has said.
According to him, the Minister of Information will be the one in charge of communicating government messages to the general public and at the same time work with departments and agencies to ensure that the government and its agencies are on the same wavelength.
For this reason, he said Mr Arhin would have no mandate to speak on behalf of the president and government.
The president, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, in his first set of appointments, announced Mr Arhin as Director of Communications at the Presidency. He subsequently appointed Mr Hamid as Information Minister and his spokesman. However, Mr Anyidoho believes that the two roles overlap, a situation that can create confusion in the dissemination of government information.
He said: “I was Director of Communications at the Presidency when Professor Mills was the president and so I appreciate the kind of work they will be doing. The task at hand is a difficult one and I pray for them, especially Eugene Arhin, who I consider as my younger brother.
“The appointment of Mustapha Hamid as Minister of Information has muted Eugene Arhin as the Director of Communications at the presidency. He has no mandate going forward. Mustapha [Hamid] as Information Minister will be coordinating with the agencies and departments, will be attending conference on behalf of the government.”

DIRECTOR: COMMUNICATIONS AT THE PRESIDENCY and MINISTER OF INFORMATION AND PRESIDENTIAL SPOKESMAN I see as two distinct assignments even if they interact. These do not overlap, note.
Remember your ex presido Mahama is the one in charge of Gambia affairs...so in effect he was the one that signed to send Ghana troops there...like the 'EEEEE.ediot' that he is!
Edey pain you waaaaa. Whether you like it or YES: Nana is the President of the Republic of Ghana, and the 'ofluijato' as you refer to him will be the Information minister of this beautiful country called Ghana. And the Lord our God saw it and smiled. 😊 And you, you can set yourself on fire and burn the sea, because you're going to be in opposition for a looooooooooooooong time. 😆

OFRI J.A.T.O IS INFORMATION MINISTER CUM JUST ANYTHING HE CAN THINK OF,,,, S2UP1D...... THAT IS HOW HE COULD JUST TAKE A UNILATERAL DECISION TO SEND TROOPS TO THE GAMBIA WITHOUT CONSULTATION... PHUUL.... WHO TOLD HIM THAT TO WIELD EXECUTIVE POWERS MEANS YOU CAN FLAUNT IT LIKE AN EEDIOT..... JUST BECAUSE HE IS ALSO AN EEDIOT.????
