I Took Final Decision For Error-ridden Brochures To Be Given Out � ISD Boss Insists
Acting Director of the Information Services Department (ISD), Francis Arthur Kwarteng has emphatically stated that he took the final decision for the brochures to be given out after the errors were realized early Sunday morning.
He said after the consideration of the issue, authorities present were in a dilemma as to whether the parade should go ahead without the three thousand copies of error-ridden brochures printed or the parade proceed with the error-ridden brochures since it contained the whole programme of activities for the day and not only the write-up.
“I took the decision that the brochure should go out,” he emphasized.
According to him the ISD was actually charged to provide the content of the programme.
On the apology statement issued on Monday, he said as the chairman of the communication sub-committee of the 59th independence anniversary and also in his capacity as the acting Director of the ISD, he decided to put out the statement which he even changed the letter head of ISD because he did not have copies of the letter heads with him.
Meanwhile, the member of parliament for the governing NDC who represents the people of La Dadekotopon, Nii Amasah Namoale believes something could have been done about the errors early Sunday morning when they were detected to keep the image of the country.
He wants the acting Director of the Information Services Department (ISD), punished for printing and distributing the error-ridden brochures for Ghana’s 59th Independence Day anniversary parade, calling the incident a national embarrassment.
