The Fourth Estate, a reputable media organization, has exposed the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for allegedly cloning its design to spread propaganda against Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Hon. Sam Okudzeto Ablakwa.
The NPP’s TESCON Informant in a post on X used a graphic design with the logo “Fact Check Ghana” to dispute Ablakwa’s claims regarding inflated contracts for road projects.
Mr Ablakwa had alleged that findings from an Audit Report on Cocoa Roads Improvement Projects showed inflation in contracts awarded for the Effutu – Abirem Agona Road and the Kyiboso – Hasowodze Bungalow Feeder Road projects.
However, the “Fact Check Ghana” design claimed that a review of the Audit Report did not support Ablakwa’s allegations. It stated that the Auditor General did not indicate in the report that these road projects were overpriced.
The design also refuted Ablakwa’s claims against Resource Access Limited, stating that the company was not mentioned in the audit findings for abandoning contracts, delaying execution, or over-bloating contracts as alleged.
The Fourth Estate reacted to this use of its design, labeling it as fake and calling on TESCON Informant to stop cloning their designs.
Also, Fact-Check Ghana has distanced itself from the report, indicating that “This is fake. We have not published any report or flyer on this.”
The media house has entreated the public to disregard the information.
