In a bid to thwart  and curb the spread of rumors in an effective and organized manner, the Center for Government Communication (CGC) has recommended that ministries and other public sector entities follow a set of guidelines while publishing their activities and news on online social media platforms.

The recommendations emphasize the need to avoid publication of pictures of ministers, officials or employees with any statement, attach the country’s official logo as an alternative, not to publish news on personal receptions, prohibit employees from issuing any statement in the name of the ministry, and to limit statements with the name of the ministry.

The CSC pointed out that the guidelines were intended for content published online on social media platforms and not for statements issued through newspapers.
