Ghana Publishing Company Limited to launch public education campaign on gazettes
The Ghana Publishing Company Limited (GPCL) will, on Wednesday, August 27, 2025, launch a nationwide public education campaign aimed at increasing awareness and understanding of the Government Gazette.
The campaign, which is called Gazette 360, will be launched at a press conference at the company’s head office in Accra.
It seeks to educate the public on the contents, legal importance, and relevance of the Gazette in everyday life.
GPCL explained that the initiative is also meant to deal with the problem of fake gazettes that are being circulated and used in various sectors.
The company said part of the confusion and fraud comes from the fact that many people do not know what an authentic gazette looks like, how it is issued, or where it can be accessed.
The Gazette 360 campaign is being delivered in partnership with Marry Right Ghana and supported by AngloGold Ashanti.
According to GPCL, the press conference will feature opening remarks from its leadership, statements from campaign partners, and a question-and-answer session with the media.
The Company stressed that the Gazette is a legal document and warned that fake versions create problems such as misrepresentation, fraud, and legal complications.
GPCL said the campaign will help create the awareness needed for the public to know the Gazette, use it, and trust it.

YEA boss assures timely salaries for Community Police Assistants
The Chief Executive Officer of the Youth Employment Agency (YEA), Malik Basintale, has assured graduands of the Community Police Assistant programme that their salaries will not be delayed.
In his address during the graduation ceremony at the Ghana Police Academy in Tesano on Tuesday, August 26, 2025, Mr. Basintale said the payments would be made monthly to ensure that the officers could work effectively for the country.
He commended the graduands for successfully completing their training, noting that the programme had instilled discipline, diligence, and excellence in them.
He recalled his initial doubts when he saw some recruits at the beginning of the training but said he was impressed by the transformation witnessed during the passing-out parade.
The YEA boss urged the new officers to respect their uniforms and carry out their duties with discipline.
He added that their work would contribute to President John Dramani Mahama’s 24-hour security agenda.
Mr. Basintale disclosed that under a memorandum of understanding signed between the YEA and the Ghana Police Service, disciplined graduates who meet the necessary requirements would be shortlisted for future police recruitment.
He expressed appreciation to the Ghana Police Service and the Minister of Employment and Labour Relations, George Opare Addo, for their support in implementing the initiative.
So far, 12,000 community police assistants have been trained and deployed across the country under the programme, according to the YEA.
