The Minister of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration sued the MP for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the editors of Africawatch magazine, General Media Strategies Inc. and the editor-in-chief for the publication of an article defamatory against him concerning the newly opened Ghana Embbady in Oslo, the capital of Norway.
The magazine accused Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey of attempting to buy two properties, one for the chancery and the other for the ambbadador 's residence, priced at $ 16. $ 5 million.
The report accused the minister of involvement in a "shameful conspiracy to steal the state".
Africawatch through the report written by its publisher, Steve Mallory, also accused the minister of inflating "the cost of the building to $ 16.5 million".
Okudzeto Ablakwa and the minority in Parliament had made a similar claim several months ago.
In a brief from citinewsroom.com, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, through her lawyers, described the publication as "defamatory … and baseless".
It claims among other things a retraction of history and "compensatory damages of 20 million US dollars for loss of reputation of the defendants".
The Foreign Minister also asks the High Court of Accra for an "injunction order directed to defendants, attorneys, rights holders and attorneys to continue to make other defamatory publications on the complainant ".
