The Ministry of Finance and Development Planning informs the public that purported information circulating on social media about a 57.2M government grant with GEN to entrepreneurs is false and misleading.
The Ministry clarifies that at no time such a program was held or an announcement made to that effect by the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning.
The Ministry of Finance and Development Planning urged the public to be mindful about fake news circulating on social media regarding government programs.
