He observed the absence of a functioning Public Relations Department, in particular, was causing some damage to the image of the Jean Mensa-chaired Commission. Political science lecturer Prof Gyampo last weekend descended heavily on the EC leadership, saying the chairperson and her deputies cannot be the mouthpiece and spokespersons of the Commission. “Before, it had a PR department and a public relations officer …Dzapkasu who was in charge of the PR and he issued statements. He asked the EC “reform, and organize their PR department so that the PR officer does some of these things the way a trained communicator will communicate something”. In his view, since the EC leadership is under constant attack from some political parties and the public, it ought to “develop a thick skin”.
