Information Minister, Laurence K. Bropleh, says government would recall all Public Relation Officers (PRO) assigned to the various ministries and agencies back to his Ministry. Relation Officers (PRO) assigned to the various ministries and agencies back to his Ministry.
Minister Bropleh said upon recalling the Public Relations Officers, they would be requested to submit their curriculum vitae and academic credentials following which their work plans would be reviewed.
Addressing a news conference in Monrovia yesterday, Minister Bropleh said that he has the backing of the President of Liberia in carrying out the exercise.
The Government's Chief Spokesperson said government intends to do this so as to have a cohesive information dissemination system.
The minister made the statement when he was asked as to whether he still maintains his pervious stance that most of government's Public Relation Officers are not qualified for the job.
Minister Bropleh recalled that upon taking office, he and Deputy Minister, Elizabeth Hoff arranged for funding from the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) which was used to conduct a four-day training exercise for the Public Relation Officers in Gbarnga, Bong County.
However, he said since that exercise, government has not received that cohesive information dissemination system.

Following the Gbarnga training exercise, some Public Relation Officers and Minister Bropleh went at loggerhead when he accused them of not being qualified for the job.
Meanwhile Minister Bropleh has written the House of Representatives to postpone his hearing before that body from today to Thursday.
He said the request was made to that body for two fundamental reasons including the burial of former Deputy Information Minister, Fred Desheild and on grounds that the President of Liberia had constituted a committee to investigate the Kendeja Saga.
