Days of Misinformation Will End Soon; Sam George after Falling Victim

The Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations-designate, Samuel Narteh George has made it a priority to curb misinformation and disinformation after falling victim to such.

An edited picture of the legislator that went viral following Tuesday’s parliamentary sittings portrayed him watching an adult movie during proceedings. However, the original picture with a 3News watermark portrayed him going through his WhatsApp chat.

The Ningo Prampram MP in reaction accused the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) of masterminding the fake picture in a Facebook post.

“It is clear to me that the NPP is so hurt by my nomination as Minister for Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations and would stop at nothing to fight it.

“After failing to mobilise their own Caucus in Parliament to vote against my nomination, they have resorted to a smear campaign and cheap lies with fake photos.”

He therefore vowed to put an end to misinformation once he assumes office. This, he envisions, will be soon through enhanced regulations.

“I can assure them that the days of misinformation and cheap fabricated lies are coming to an end. The Ministry would tighten regulations on such illegal conducts of misinformation and disinformation in the coming weeks and sanitise our media space.”
