The Minister for Regional Reorganization and Development, Dan Botwe is not dead as being speculated on social media.
There were claims that Dan Botwe who was receiving treatment at the University of Ghana Medical Centre following fears of COVID-19 infection had passed on.
But a statement from the District Chief Executive (DCE) for the Okere Assembly, Daniel Kenneth, said such reports are false and should be disregarded.

According to the DCE, Mr. Botwe who is also the MP for Okere, was discharged from UGMC at 1:00 pm on Saturday, July 4, 2020.
