Ms Elizabeth Ohene, Minister of State for Media Relations, has urged Public Relations Officers (PROs) in the ministries to be proactive in the execution of their duties and help transmit government policies into the public domain.

At her maiden interaction with staff of the Information Services Department (ISD) serving as PROs of Ministries, Departments and Agencies, she said it would be her Ministry's policy to harmonise pronouncements emanating from the ministries so that they would be in line with government's policy.

A statement issued on Tuesday by Mr James Ampadu, Acting Director of the ISD, said Ms Ohene proposed a weekly meeting with the PROs to brief them on government policies and cabinet decisions in order for them to be well informed to deliver factual and accurate information by the government.

"The officers will in turn tell the minister of their activities of the previous week and their projections for the week."

Such interactions will help officers know the activities of each ministry so that they will co-ordinate government information to avoid any divergences or misrepresentation.

The Minister also promised to organise training for the officers to upgrade their skills.
