The government has asked the public to ignore a viral video circulating on social media, insisting President John Dramani Mahama’s remarks have been deliberately misrepresented for political gain.
Minister of State in Charge of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, issued the clarification in a Facebook post on Monday, July 27, after the clip sparked widespread debate online.
According to him, the President’s comments were “taken out of context” by what he described as “misguided elements” seeking to score partisan points.
“Some misguided elements have sought to distort the President’s words in this video to achieve narrow partisan ends,” he wrote.
Mr. Kwakye Ofosu explained that President Mahama was referring specifically to the release of GH¢150 million for post‑flood mitigation works during a conversation with the National Security Coordinator.
“The President clearly speaks of the ‘release’ of GHS 150 million, which was in direct reference to funds for post‑flood mitigation works. That is what he was discussing with the National Security Coordinator and nothing more,” he clarified.
He urged the public to disregard attempts to twist the President’s comments.
“Disregard the mischievous lies!” he added.
