Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong has said that Anas Aremeyaw Anas’ defamation suit against him is trifles.
Ace investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas on Friday filed a defamatory lawsuit against Mr Agyapong. Anas is demanding GH¢25million for damages from the MP.
However, according to Mr Agyapong, “that is peanuts…I’ll pay him [Anas] if I lose in court.
Speaking in an interview on Friday afternoon, Mr Agyapong boasted that what Anas was demanding was “too cheap.”
He insisted he has evidence to support his allegations and was prepared to face Anas in court since he was not afraid of him.
Mr Agyapong said he was happy about the development because it’s falling in line with his plan to “unmask” Anas since in court, he was going to challenge Anas to take off his mask for the case to go ahead.
Anas is seeking reliefs including general damages for libel against Mr Agyapong, as well as aggravated damages arising from some libelous comments published by Mr Agyapong in the sum of GH₵25million.
