The Independence Day Brochure issue has brought about a huge disgrace to Ghana and Ghanaians all over the globe due to the negligence of some people holding some specific positions under this President Mahama NDC led government and sadly, this has not been the first, and therefore it is believed that this sort of disgrace has happened again because the First Gentleman of the land has been too weak to punish the people who were responsible for the previous due to reasons best known to himself.
Note;
The Communication Ministry has many sectors of which one of them is the Information Service Department(ISD).
This Department is the major operational agency of the Ministry.
It serves as Government's major public relations organisation both locally and abroad.
Other agencies under the Communication Ministry are;
1. General Administration
2. Ghana News Agency(GNA)
3. Ghana Broadcasting Corporation(GBC)
4. National Films and Television Institute(NAFTI)
Of which each of these agencies above has it's own role to help the Ministry function properly.
Research has shown that it is the ISD which has been responsible for the making of the Independence Day Brochure but was denied of it in this year's Independence day celebration and as a result, it is believed to have been the reason for this disgrace.
As to avoid a similar future disgrace of the country, Critical Thinkers International(CTI) is of the firm belief that President Mahama should be strong enough to punish anyone who has failed or fails in his responsibility in the future.
Note;
The Communication Ministry is headed by Dr Omane Boamah.
Stan Dogbe is the head of the Communication Bureau at the Flagstaff House. Due to the function of this office not very different from that of the Communication Ministry, it is seen by most political analysts as a CLONE of the Communication Ministry, which might have just been created to serve as one of the avenues for the "Job For The Boys" and therefore making this office not very necessary for the welfare of the country.
Francis Kwarteng Arthur was sacked from his position as the Acting Director of ISD after accepting and apologising for the error that has brought about this huge disgrace.
Before his sack, he was under the supervision of either Dr. Omane Boamah or Stan Dogbe or both depending on the issue he is working on at any particular point in time.
With respect to this Independence Day Brochure, he was under the supervision of both because of the direct relation of this brochure to the President, Ghana and the outside world.
Unless otherwise quoted by Government, it is believed by CTI that Francis Kwarteng Arthur was sacked due to one or all of the reasons below;
1. The misrepresentations, spelling mistakes and grammatical errors in the brochure.
2. His employment of a private company to do the entire brochure instead of the ISD of which he heads, which is responsible to handle such a task.
If it is any or both of the above reasons then Stan Dogbe and Dr. Omane Boamah are all as guilty as Francis Kwarteng Arthur and should also dance to same music that Francis Kwarteng is dancing to because they are his superiors and so they are to make sure everything Francis Kwarteng Arthur does is right/correct and appropriate before it is pushed to the public.
Finally, since it has been confirmed that the creation of this year's Independence Day brochure was dodged from ISD with Stan Dogbe to have denied the fact that it was his company, eventPR which did it, we are calling on government to brief us on the following;
1. Which company was employed to do it?
2. What kind of Public Procurement Method(Competitive bidding, Single Sourcing and others) was used to choose that company?
3. How much did the company charge?
Thank you.
May God be praised always
