The Ministry of Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations has rejected allegations circulating on social media claiming that the sector Minister, Samuel Nartey George, has misused public funds.

In a statement issued through its Public Relations Directorate, the Ministry explained that the document being widely shared online has been taken out of context and does not indicate that any money has been spent.

According to the Ministry, the document is merely an extract from a larger official submission seeking commitment authorisation from the Ministry of Finance as part of routine government financial procedures.

Officials stated that the request relates to budgetary allocations already approved by Parliament for the 2026 fiscal year and is tied to planned projects, operational activities, and programme interventions expected to be carried out during the year.

The Ministry further clarified that the request is still awaiting approval from the Ministry of Finance and stressed that no funds have been released or utilised for any of the items listed in the circulating document.

“The claims suggesting that public funds have already been squandered are inaccurate, misleading, devoid of context, and must be treated with the contempt they deserve,” the statement said.

The Ministry also reaffirmed its commitment to transparency, accountability, and strict adherence to public financial management regulations in carrying out its responsibilities.
