Notes President Lansana Conte dismissed his information minister, in an apparent snub to a consensus prime minister.
A presidential decree late on Thursday replaced government spokesman Justin Morel Junior a day after he read a statement on state television from Prime Minister Lansana Kouyate which called a New Year's address by the reclusive Conte a "hoax".
the head of the state news agency Issa Conde told Reuters he had received the presidential address directly from the presidency press office.
"Mr Issa Conde, previously director of the Guinean Press Agency, is named minister of Communication and New Technologies, replacing Mr Justin Morel Junior," read Thursday's decree.
