Abdul Malik Kweku Baako Junior, a veteran journalist, insists that businessman Kennedy Agyapong accepts the terms of the settlement or forgets an out-of-court settlement proposed by his lawyers.

"Unless my conditions are accepted, it's as simple as that. The fundamental point is to retract and publicly apologize. The key point is the retraction and excuses, otherwise left to the courts, "he told Metro TV Thursday, under the supervision of MyNewsGh.com.

The lawyers of Mr. Kennedy Agyapong had asked the High Court of Accra for an amicable settlement in a defamation case, according to Mr. Kweku Baako, who stated that it was not the first time.

"There have been attempts to settle amicably at their initiative. Money is not the problem, but I have already gone to the dock and, given my testimony, he came to do his, but he was truncated because the judge adjourned his works. She wanted to deal with other companies, but when we returned to court the next day, they took the initiative to seek an amicable settlement, "he said.

Explaining further, he said, "We tried three times and I put in place terms of settlement. I offer him terms of settlement but he came back with a counter of small element that I find unacceptable … I find an element of his counter completely unacceptable. The judge gave us Monday, July 22 to come with a settlement. If we go there and we can not, she is informed that she will settle the case on July 31 before the courts go on vacation. "

Kweku Baako had sued the deputy of Assin Central in the High Court of Accra for damages in the amount of 25 million GH ¢ for defamation.

According to Mr. Baako, the legislator has defamed him during a talk show called Boiling Point on Oman FM and the Adom Badwam broadcast on Adom FM on different dates.
