Malawi’s Vice-President, Dr. Jane Ansah, has warned the public about a fraudulent Facebook page created in her name.
The impersonating page recently posted content about the Office of the Minister of State and the Second Vice-President, which does not reflect Dr. Ansah’s official positions.
Speaking to this reporter, she clarified that the account is illegitimate and should not be trusted.
Dr. Ansah requested that citizens disregard the posts from the fake page and avoid sharing them.
Her office has reported the incident to Meta to have the account removed promptly.
She encouraged the public to report any suspicious pages to help curb misinformation online.
Dr. Ansah emphasized that all authentic updates and announcements are shared exclusively via her verified social media channels.
The Vice-President highlighted the potential harm of online impersonation, which can mislead citizens and undermine public confidence.
She reaffirmed her commitment to transparency and ensuring that accurate information reaches all Malawians.
