Abdul Rahman Abdul Aziz Al-Haza, the newly appointed spokesman for the Ministry of Culture and Information, has said his appointment will help in the provision of consistent information and serve to mitigate against the spread of rumors. Al-Haza said a single authorized source would improve communication with the media and clarify facts, and that the Experts Commission at the Council of Ministers had recognized in their decision the importance of spokesmen in ministries having direct contact with the public. Al-Haza said that he could be directly contacted through his official e-mail address – spokesman @moci.gov.sa – or via telephone and fax.
