In a dramatic turn of events, supporters and sympathizers of Kennedy Agyapong are jubilating over the recent defamation court case judgment involving investigative journalist Anas. The jury awarded Anas $500 in damages, a far cry from the $18 million he had sought.
In a surprising twist, Kennedy Agyapong has teased Anas, saying that instead of the $500 awarded, he will give him $5,000. This move has sparked a mix of reactions, with some people praising Kennedy’s generosity and others criticizing him for gloating over the outcome.
The court’s decision has sparked widespread debate, with many questioning the implications of the judgment on the media landscape in Ghana. As the dust settles, one thing is certain – the controversy surrounding Anas and Kennedy Agyapong is far from over.
Reactions Pour In.
Supporters of Kennedy Agyapong have taken to social media to celebrate the judgment, hailing it as a victory for free speech and a rebuke to what they see as Anas’s sensationalist journalism. Meanwhile, Anas’s supporters are decrying the judgment, saying it undermines the work of investigative journalists in Ghana.
As the debate rages on, one thing is clear – the relationship between Kennedy Agyapong and Anas remains as contentious as ever. Will Kennedy Agyapong follow through on his promise to give Anas $5,000? Only time will tell. Alexander Afriyie
