Central Regional Chairman of the NDC Bernard Allotey Jacobs has said errors in government communications would not stop because mistakes are bound to happen and are part of everyday life.

“Ghanaians are just trying to politicize the issue which shouldn’t have been treated as such since it happens to every state, including President Barack Obama who stopped reading a speech at an important gathering just because the script given to him was not what he expected to read.”

He made this statement after President John Mahama on TV3’s ‘NEW DAY’ programme described the error-ridden brochures used on the 59th Independence Day as printing mistake.

“I mean what is wrong with the Independence Day brochure, these are just typographical errors bound to happen. It happened during the New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration, now it has happened and would always happen so far as human beings live in human institutions.”

Speaking to Joy FM News, he lamented that he don’t see any predicament or misery about this brochure issue that citizens should be so much concerned with and still be discussing weeks after the programme had taken place.

Even though they are factual errors, errors are errors that need to be corrected when they occur, as such authorities involved will redress it and make sure it does not happen next time.

According to him, all human beings are destined to make mistakes; therefore the NDC is not an exception to this natural law.

“If there were no mistakes in the 59th anniversary programme members of the NDC would be classed as perfect which should not be so, as every human being or institution is bound to make mistakes.”

He said the issue is past and so must it be for other important issues to be dealt with for the "Better Ghana Agenda" to continue.

“We have all been victims to this, that was why we most at times in school could not attain the 100% mark no matter how best we do what is expected of us to attain that mark. This was due to human error which we cannot live without,” he said.
