State House press and public relations section brought itself criticism on Thursday after the title of a press release became spectacularly inconsistent with the body.

State House was trying to announce that the draft constitution would be taken to the national assembly in August when it blundered by giving it a title incompatible with the subject.

The title read, ‘Gambia receives Covid Organics package from Madagascar’ – while the press release is saying the ministry of justice will publish the draft constitution in the Gazette by the end of May ahead of its presentation at the national assembly in August.

Gambians online jumped at the error with some pinning it on incompetence.

Director of Press and Public Relations at the Office of the President later reacted saying, “I deeply regret the error on the media advisory sent by my colleague.”
