Former Black Stars defender John Paintsil has outrightly rejected a GHS100,000 compensation proposal from the Multimedia Group and its sports presenter, Patrick Osei Agyemang, popularly known as "Countryman Songo", in an ongoing defamation suit.
The legal tussle stems from comments made on a popular sports program aired by the Multimedia Group, which Paintsil claims were not only false but damaging to his image, credibility, and legacy in Ghanaian football.
He is demanding GHS20 million in compensation from the media conglomerate and an additional GHS5 million from Countryman Songo personally for the defamatory remarks made against him.
According to the terms of the offer presented by the Multimedia Group and Countryman Songo, the GHS100,000 compensation was proposed presumably in an attempt to settle the matter out of court.
