The purpose of the post-cabinet press briefing is to provide the media and the public with an opportunity to learn about the decisions that have been made by the Cabinet. The briefing is usually held on Wednesdays at 8:00 AM at the Office of the Prime Minister.
The briefing is hosted by the Hon. Robert Nesta Morgan Minister without Portfolio with Responsibility for Information who is responsible for providing an overview of the decisions that have been made. The ministers responsible for the individual portfolios will then provide more details about the decisions that affect their areas of responsibility.
The post-cabinet press briefing is an important way for the government to communicate with the public about its policies and priorities. It is also an opportunity for the media to ask questions about the decisions that have been made.
Here are some of the topics that may be discussed at a post-cabinet press briefing:
Economic policy
Social policy
Foreign policy
National security
Infrastructure development
Public sector reform
Crime and violence
Natural disasters
Other matters of public interest
The post-cabinet press briefing is a valuable resource for journalists and the public who want to stay informed about the government's activities. It is also an opportunity for the government to get feedback from the media and the public on its policies and priorities.

Very informative. Appreciate the update. Thanks

You need to fix the poor service before looking to expand into new route. You also need to have body work men to fix the damages to buses.
I don't know why so many of the JUTC buses are damaged.
Also, how about creating an App for JUTC on our mobile phones?
That would mean each bus should have a tracker. With the tracker, commuters will be able to know where a bus is on the route and what time it will get to them.
If JUTC can implement this, it would help us a lot. It means we can do something else while we wait on the next bus.
Our biggest problem is knowing the bus schedule and the JUTC App would solve that problem and earn more income, and allow commuters to manage their time better around the bus schedule.
Think about this idea, please.

You can't ignore the noise. You need to have ministry officials responding, immediately, they are uttered, or people will think it is true.
You need to follow them up with responses from the ministry.
As a ministry, you need to protect the integrity of the service. So, to leave our institution to be maligned by treacherous people, is not an option. You either do what needs to be done, or step aside and leave it to someone else to do it.
You must respond...everytime. You cannot talk about ignore them.
