One obviously reads how social media and technology have the power to breed beliefs only qualifiable as post-truth. Rare have been occasions when I have witnessed this phenomenon first hand.The recent public outcry on deposits being at risk during a banks liquidation due to the proposed Financial Resolution and Deposit Insurance (FRDI) Bill is astounding What started as an op-ed in a newspaper blandly-titled Banking on legislation published a full three months after the FRDI Bill was tabled vigorously picked up steam courtesy a dramatically-worded WhatsApp cover note which termed the bail-in clause as abanking Armageddon amendment.The sensationalist delivery has obviously worked, as one month later we have the Finance Minister of the country being forced to intervene and calm everyones nerves. The political timing, on the other hand, should obviously give makers of House of Cards another reason to blush.
