Fake Letter Circulates to Smear Malik Basintale’s Academic Credentials as YEA CEO

It has been established that a certain purported letter suggesting that Malik Basintale, the current Chief Executive Officer of the Youth Employment Agency (YEA), does not hold a degree from the University of Ghana is entirely fake.

The forged letter, which made rounds on social media and some blogs, falsely claimed that the University had disavowed Mr. Basintale’s academic records. However, thorough checks have confirmed that the letter did not originate from the University of Ghana and was fabricated to mislead the public.

Deliberate Attempt to Smear Basintale’s Image

The emergence of this document appears to be a targeted attempt to damage the reputation of Mr. Basintale, who currently heads a major government agency focused on youth employment and empowerment.

Analysts and close observers suggest that the forgery was intended to cast doubt on his qualifications and sow public distrust in his leadership at YEA. The deliberate nature and timing of the disinformation campaign point to a coordinated smear effort.

Document Found to Be Fraudulent

The letter, which bore the supposed signature of the University’s Registrar, failed to meet any of the institution’s standard communication formats or security features. As such, there is no credible or official confirmation supporting its content.

Moreover, there is no official concern or complaint from the University of Ghana regarding Mr. Basintale’s academic background at this time.

Disinformation and Legal Risks

Experts warn that the forgery of institutional documents to manipulate public opinion is a serious offense under Ghanaian law and could lead to prosecution.

This case adds to growing concerns about how digital disinformation is being used as a political and reputational weapon in Ghana’s public discourse.
