PRESS RELEASE<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Prior to the Covid pandemic, the\u00a0Post-Cabinet Press Briefing\u00a0was held in the Conference Room of the\u00a0Office of the Prime Minister. When the pandemic hit, we relocated the briefing to a room at the Parliament Building, which allowed for the various Covid-related protocols.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In more recent times, we have been utilizing an online platform for the briefing; however, this has not proven to be efficient. We have encountered numerous audio and lighting challenges, compounded by the discontinuation of the Skype platform. We have therefore taken the decision to return to in-person briefings, where journalists representing the various media houses will be required to be present in the briefing room.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The briefings will be held at 9am on Thursdays, as is customary, unless otherwise indicated.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The move to revert to this format will be effective Thursday June 26th, 2025 at the\u00a0Parliament Building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To ensure a seamless production, we will ask journalists to be seated by 8:50am. In addition, we request that the name of the journalist and their media house be emailed to abstvradio@ab.gov.ag by 8:00am on the day of the briefing to facilitate the completion of the relevant graphics by ABS\u2019 team.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We look forward to this process change and will ensure that there is a smooth transition.<\/p>\n
