    Why do people still employ this David Annan to represent them in court? He seems to lose every case he's involved in.

    Anyway this is an eye opener to the likes of Al-Haj, daily guide, informer and all those gutter journal ...

    This should be a lesson to people like Adofo and the rest who like to write reckless and false articles. It really does not matter be it NPP/NDC /CPP or what ever . Just be factual

  • WILLIAM 10 years ago

    hope the newspapers and radio stations are paying attention!

  • Frank Agyena-Karikari 10 years ago

    Hope the media will learn sense out of this. People who just publish items to just smear trash on the image of people will learn something out of this. I wish the amount would have been higher. Many of these media houses woul ...

    The only way to tame the NDC rented press !


    That's is the only way to make the foolsoldiers editing the NDC rented press realise that they cannot use their brand of 'agbadza journalism' and 'chin-chinga journalism' to so ...

  • DusTY-FooT-pHiloSophER 10 years ago

    How nice. Hence, you are quick to report so and totally ignoring your own daily libellous and scandalous story against others in here. How hypocritical can you go, the Daily Guide?

  • Mimi 10 years ago

    Why don't you send them to court? I'm happy for this, I wish the lens, the informer and all those rented press are sent to court to put them out of business to show to them that you can't hate and write hate articles about ho ...

    Kweku Baaku is very fast at labeling NDC operatives who send NPP journalists to court for libel as undemocratic elements who are out to gag free speech and instill fear in journalists. I would not be surprised that he chops t ...

    Eei David Annan, When will you learn to win a case. You only loss cases will not learn a lesson from it. NPP members will continue to win all court cases such as that of the Dr. Kuffour and others.

    YES. NOW DAILY GRAPHIC IS EXPOSED. ITS GOOD. NEXT TIME MAN FOR ENQUIRE BEFORE WRITING. PEOPLE SHOULD ALSO NOT GO IN FOR DAVID ANNAN AGAIN. HE IS AN APOLOGY OF ..........

  • ATIGAH 10 years ago

    Calculated to stifle media work. An order for the offending media houses to render apologies would've suffice.

  • Nii Lante Okunka 10 years ago

    I completely disagree with you,Atigah. As a matter of fact. I think the amount awarded would not be prohibitive enough to bring sanity into the way our so called Ghanaian Journalists print anything at all without performing t ...

  • Whatever 10 years ago

    I agree with your comment completely. How do you win straightaway Ghc180,000 damages when you fail to exercise your right to rejoinder? Something must be worng with that judge. You don't settle disputes that way. It is inimic ...

  • Frank Agyena-Karikari 10 years ago

    There is something rather wrong with you. Do you know what slander means and the effects it can have on the reputation of a person wrongly accused. That kind of nonsense has gone on for too long against many people since the ...

    I personally know this judge when he was a circuit court judge at Nsuta/mampongten. He is an NPP guru and has since defended the likes of Asabee since NDC came to power. This is a shame to Ghana's justice system

  • Frank Agyena-Karikari 10 years ago

    The shame should be on the gutter journalists who publish anything just to defame their political opponents and others whose views they don't share. The money should have been higher to bankrupt those media houses.

    Lawyer Atta Akyea has lost two cases less than a month what about that?

  • Mimi 10 years ago

    And so what? Hate, enviness/failure.Atta Akyea is still a good lawyer and better than Tsatsu Tsikata and Kpegah.

  • Peaceman 10 years ago

    GHC180,000 damages slapped on the papers is too lenient. Reputation takes a lot of years to cultivate. and these papers wanted to take ONLY DAY to undo all that toil. They should thank the court for being so lenient with the ...

  • Whatever 10 years ago

    From the detail in thsi story, that MP didn't even write a rejoinder to that publication yet the court found it expedient to award him damages to the tune of Ghc180,000. I mean this is a rip off and that judge who gave that r ...

  • Otwenua Adamfo 10 years ago

    You think so? Advise them to appeal the judgment if you think failure to publish a rejoinder is good enough to nullify the right to seek redress. Mind you someone's hard-earned reputation is at stake in this matter. Not surpr ...

    You can go to hell, the verdict has been given and you shut up and tell your countryman to pay the western show boy and next time don't mess with them.A good one there.

    These are the same people who pride themselves in removing the criminal libel finn our law books. Hypocrytes!, sorry hypocrates!!!

  • Frank Agyena-Karikari 10 years ago

    Repeal of the criminal libel law does not give room to just print falsehood. Journalists must be responsible for what they write. How and why do these journalists just publish things just to tarnish the image of people but to ...

    Does removing libel law means writing to defame somebody? Idiot, get out of here.

    Good for you Mr Baidoo-Ansah. Take them to court for the irresponsible and fabricated stories and innuendos. The papers, unprofessional, illiterate and most of them are either self-proclaimed half-baked journalist and radio p ...
