Rawlings’ son Kimathi files Police report over fake Twitter account
A fake Twitter account which bears his name has been impersonating him on the micro-blogging website.
However, a statement from the Office of former President Rawlings said Kimathi has nothing to do with the said Twitter account.
It said the account has since been reported to the Cyber Crime Unit of the Ghana Police Criminal Investigations Department.

“The attention of the Office of former President Jerry John Rawlings has been drawn to the creation of a fake Twitter account that is publishing falsehoods attributed to the son of the former President, Kimathi Agyeman-Rawlings,” the statement said.
“The fake Twitter handle @KimathiRawlings was not created by Kimathi Agyeman-Rawlings and all the posts on the handle are not attributable to him.
“The matter has been reported to the Cyber Crime Unit of the Ghana Police Criminal Investigations Department and representations made to the company, Twitter.”
The statement further urged the public to disregard anything published on the fake Twitter account.
“We urge all members of the public to disregard any publications emanating from the said account and warn persons who dabble in impersonation through the creation of such fake accounts that we will investigate, identify and have them face the law for such criminal activities.
