Joyce A Bawah Mogtari- a special aide to former President John Mahama, has debunked reports that she has tested positive for COVID-19, saying it is an NPP propaganda.
“As for the NPP propaganda all over that I, Joyce Bawah Mogtari, have tested positive for COVID-19 and in isolation, please ignore it,” the former Deputy Minister of Transport said in a Facebook post.
Commenting further, Ms Mogtari noted that as someone who has been fighting the stigmatisation of recovered persons, “I will be the first to announce my status and help in the education and advocacy to reduce the stigma.”
She says Mr Mahama, “is hearty and going about his duties.”
