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.
Forson suggested in a post that the National Democratic Congress MPs only took advantage of ordinary Ghanaians.
The Minority and other groups are demonstrating to call for the resignation of the Bank of Ghana governor following accusations of mismanagement.
Mogtari reacted to the post, calling it fake and described the disinformation as "shameless."
Another of Mahama’s aides, Stan Dogbe, described the fake memo as "foolishness".
