Angry ISD workers deny being behind error-ridden brochure

 

This  follows a statementsigned by the Acting Director of ISD, Francis Kwarteng Arthur accepting blame for the errors and subsequently apologising on Monday.

"The Department, which authored the content of the brochure, accepts responsibility and wishes to unreservedly apologise for the development", the statement said.

But, workers at the ISD have expressed anger at the development and are wondering why the Acting Director should take blame for the errors.

"We don't know anything about it. We don't know who printed it," an angry worker told Accra-based Joy FM.

Another worker also believes their acting director probably took blame for the errors because "he is at the top management level and probably anything that has to do with government information might be something that government needs to come out and apologise for. For me, I should think he is playing his normal official role as the director of the ministry. For me, I think he shouldn't have taken blame for this anomaly unless whoever printed it is from the government and he feels that it is good and professionally practical to come out to render an apology."

The official brochure distributed to the Kenyan President and his colleague from Guinea Bissau and their wives, members of the Diplomatic Corps, and many other senior dignitaries from Ghana, was froth with so many mistakes.

The errors ranged from  the wrongful designation of Uhuru Kenyatta as Ghana’s President to errors in grammar and spelling.

Many Ghanaians have expressed anger at the incident, adding that it is an embarrassment and a dent on the country's image.

Leadership of workers of the Information Services Department are currently in a meeting with the Acting Director to find ways of resolving the matter.
