We have noted media speculation about the reported disbandment of the Presidential Strategic Communications Unit (PSCU).
Whereas the Unit has faced some challenges in the execution of its mandate, it is working to resolve them.
The Unit and its Staff team remain intact and fully committed to their duties.
The Unit will continue to improve on the coherency and consistency of messaging in order to keep the public informed of the President’s transformative development agenda.
