The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Deputy Director of IT, Ato Kwamena Forson, has been seemingly caught in a big blunder.

Forson circulated a fake memo from John Mahama’s office suggesting that $1.5 million had been released to support the protests against the Bank of Ghana.

The purportedly fake memo also suggested that $500,000 had already been given to support the demonstration.

The memo had the signature of one of Mahama’s aides, Joyce Bawa Mogtari.
