Two of my favourite inscriptions on vehicles in Ghana are “Return to Sender” and “True Fact”. While the former has a retributive cynicism to it, the latter strikes me for its seeming lack of ambiguity. It is for this reason that I invoke it as a heading to enable me explore the question of what is a fact, and its corollary of whether or not there are “false facts”. By extension, it hints at whether or not it requires that the teller of truth owe it to his/her intended audience to disclose the truth about a fact.

Faculty members of the University of Ghana (UG) have through a letter indicated that they are not against the construction of the Commonwealth Annex Hall as claimed by members of the Commonwealth Halls.
They are advising rioting students to be wary of the actions they take.
The Commonwealth Hall Annex is a project being spearheaded by the Alumni of the Commonwealth Hall of the University.
The project when completed will have a fully-furnished 4,660-bed capacity, together with an 8,000 capacity auditorium, and a shopping mall.
