President John Mahama has pledged to transfer the Information Services Department (ISD) from the defunct Ministry of Information to the Office of the Presidency.
Speaking at the Jubilee House on Thursday, January 23, 2025, the president emphasized the need for the ISD to evolve from its current status as a civil service agency into a modern organization that ensures the public has access to information about all government activities. "One of the things we must accomplish is to bring the Information Services Department under the presidency and modernize it from a civil service agency into a contemporary organization that guarantees the free flow of information to the public about government actions.
The days of cinema vans are over.
Today, we have a wide array of modern communication tools," President Mahama noted.
