Presidential
Spokesman In London For Specialised Training.
by Isha Bob Allen
September 12th 2003:- The Presidential
Spokesman, Alhaji Kanji Daramy is in London
to attend a special training programme. The
special Study Programme, Government: Image and
Information, seeks to explore and manage the
interface and relationship between the Government
and the Media.
The
programme which has been arranged by a Consultancy
Organisation in London, Public Administration
International and sponsored by British Department
for International Development (DFID), is aimed
at Government Spokespersons and those responsible
for the management and dissemination of public
information and senior practitioners from the
media world.
The programme is designed to broaden the participant's
knowledge of government and policy orientation
in relation to the media, particularly in the
U.K, enable participants to learn from the experience
of U.K government spokesmen/women, consider
ways of broadening access to public information
for all groups and develop their practical skills
in handling and managing public information.
The worlds of Government and of media need each
other. However, this symbiotic relationship
is often fraught with difficulties. How to manage
this interface is the knowledge that President
Kabbah's spokesman will learn from his specialised
study programme in London.
