I find it strange that this memo was purportedly written by me – Patricia Appiagyei

Deputy Minority Leader Patricia Appiagyei has vehemently denied authoring or authorizing a memo circulating publicly that purportedly rejects a GH¢70,000 payment linked to the parliamentary vetting of ministerial and Supreme Court nominees. In an interview on JoyFM’s Top Story, Appiagyei described the document as fabricated and expressed her disbelief that it was attributed to her.

She firmly stated that she neither wrote, authorized, nor circulated any document related to the issue, dismissing the claims as an attempt to undermine her caucus. Appiagyei further denied any personal involvement in receiving the alleged GH¢70,000, either directly or through the Minority Chief Whip, and stated that she was unaware of any Minority member receiving such funds.

Concerned by the circulation of the memo bearing her name, Appiagyei emphasized the potential for her signature to be forged, highlighting the ease with which modern technology allows for document and signature manipulation. She stated that investigations into the memo's origin are ongoing, but she could not confirm the source at this time.
