Investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas, has emphasised that his recent defamation lawsuit against former Assin Central MP, Kennedy Agyapong, was not about financial compensation.
Instead, he asserts that his fight was centered on truth and justice.
A Superior Court in Essex County, New Jersey, reduced a defamation award against the former Assin Central Member of Parliament, Kennedy Agyapong, from $18 million to $500, following a legal request by his lawyers.
The court's decision came after the trial judge acknowledged that while Kennedy Agyapong had indeed defamed investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas, the original amount awarded by the jury was deemed excessive.
