The office of Alan Kyerematen, leader of the Movement for Change, has dismissed claims that President John Dramani Mahama has appointed him to lead. This denial comes after a letter circulated on social media falsely stating that Mr. Kyerematen had been named the Acting Director for the project.
In a statement signed by Kwame Owusu Danso, Esq., Special Advisor on Communications to Alan Kyerematen, the letter was described as a “malicious fabrication” designed to mislead the public. The statement, issued, urged the public to disregard the fake document, calling it an attempt to sow confusion.
The misleading letter alleged that Mr. Kyerematen would oversee the creation of a board and secretariat to manage the Economy, a central promise in the National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) 2024 manifesto. It also claimed that the appointment reflected President Mahama’s dedication to inclusive governance aimed at boosting Ghana’s economy.
However, Mr. Kyerematen’s office firmly rejected these claims. “This blatant attempt to spread confusion and misinformation will not be tolerated. Please treat this fake appointment letter with the contempt it deserves,” the statement stressed.
The office also called on Ghanaians to verify information through credible sources before accepting or sharing it. They emphasised the need to remain vigilant to avoid falling victim to false news.
Mr. Kyerematen, a prominent figure in Ghanaian politics, recently met with President Mahama following his re-election and shared a copy of his Great Transformational Agenda document. However, his office clarified that this meeting had no connection to any alleged appointment.
Ghanaians are encouraged to ignore the fake letter and focus on verified updates from trusted sources to help curb the spread of such misinformation.
