Former Acting General Secretary of the Convention People's Party (CPP), James Kwabena Bomfeh has admonished the National Communications Authority (NCA) to enforce the electronic laws of the country.

He was commenting on recent speculations that a government official had been arrested in the United Kingdom (UK) for smuggling 26 million pounds into the country, which turned out to be fake news.

Minister for Information, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah refuted the claims saying “no government official has been arrested in the UK. It is a total fabrication and we are clear in our minds that it is a fabrication by the NDC and it is part of their strategy for these last eight weeks where they will be churning out a lot of fabrication, lies, and fake audiotapes. We are clear in our minds that it is the NDC for one or two reasons. The first person to articulate it publicly is the Honorable Inusah Fusieni, an NDC Member of Parliament".

“They are the ones who are championing it and articulating it on their online media platforms including Radio Gold online. And now you can also find that there is a fake audiotape that purports to be a piece of international news broadcast on it which is being circulated since last night.''

Speaking to host Kwami Sefa Kayi on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo', it was apparent that James Kwabena Bomfeh is not only worried about the £26 million hoax but also the incessant dissemination of fake news and the cloning of websites to deceive innocent Ghanaians.
