Baron Nyarko, a member of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) communication team, mocked investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas for prosecuting two press organizations and members of the press. staff for "ridiculing his reputation".

He expected Mr. Aremeyaw Anas to be the last person to consider such a lawsuit when "all his work is to flout the hard-earned reputation of the people".

"And the effect of this ridicule is not only felt in Ghana, but around the world. Just look at Kwesi Nyantakyi, where he came into life and what happened to him after the number 12, "he added.

Anas Aremeyaw Anas filed a lawsuit against Multimedia and despite the group of companies and some staff members for tarnishing his image by his remarks broadcast on the air.

"The plaintiff's reputation, particularly as a world-renowned lawyer and investigative journalist, has been severely damaged and has suffered from debilitating distress and embarrbadment," writes the writ in part.

But Nyarko called the trial ridiculous: "Anas and his investigator, Tiger Eye PI, have, over the years, exposed to ridicule to publicly ridicule some members of society and were released as they were able to create the they help rid the country of corruption ".

"I wonder if Anas and his PI Tiger Eye will have peace of mind if all those who have been captured in their many shows bring them to justice. In fact, I beg all those who have been captured by Anas to also prosecute him in court, "he said.

In an interview with Ghanaweb on the Takoradi-based FM radio station, Nyarko said: "Anas knows his work will have an impact on the reputation of the captured people, but without any consideration, it will be screened. If he really wants to say good, why does not he send the recordings to the relevant investigating bodies for the necessary measures to be taken, but does he decide to judge the people before them? the court of public opinion? "

He baderted that Anas 'recent work on Galamsey appears to be a targeted work intended to "destroy the image of the executive secretary of the Interdepartmental Committee on Illegal Mining, Charles Bissue and' s. other people working to solve the illegal mining pest ".

"It is common knowledge that before starting his work with Anas, there is always one or two promotions. But in this recent, he promoted the work in the afternoon and showed the video the next day and I think it's strange, "he said.

Mr. Nyarko said that Anas' work had rather provoked anger, resentment and disaffection instead of provoking a change.

He concluded: "In the past, when Anas published a video, you realize that the conviction is final. But now it is not the case. People start asking questions and really did not pay the attention he initially liked. "
