"The Minister wishes to inform and caution the public about the bogus accounts and to strongly condemn any fraudulent activities performed in her name through these accounts.

"The Minister further wishes to put it on record that she does not have a Facebook account. The Minister, therefore, distances herself from the comments, views, and photographs made by the fake Facebook account in her name," the department said in a statement on Tuesday.
