Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has called on the government to allocate more resources to revitalize the Ghana Publishing Company Limited.
During a meeting with board members at the Manhyia Palace, he emphasized the critical importance of local publishing in preserving cultural heritage and fostering economic growth.
The Ghana Publishing Company Limited, once a flourishing entity, has faced years of inactivity due to financial challenges.
The Asantehene urged policymakers to create supportive frameworks to boost the company’s efficiency and ensure its long-term viability.
“We have neglected the company, but revival is possible. As a limited liability company, I am optimistic about your progress,” he said. “This company is crucial because it handles all gazetting. Government support through deliberate policies and resource allocation will significantly aid its development,” the Asante King added.
Managing Director of the Ghana Publishing Company Limited, David Asante shared plans to digitalize their services and expand regionally. “We plan to open several regional branches and introduce electronic gazetting to digitalize our services,” he announced.
In a move to strengthen operations, the Ghana Publishing Company has recently inaugurated an office in the Ashanti Region.
Additionally, the company donated GHC100,000 to the Asantehene to support the Heal Komfo Anokye project.
