US Court Awards Anas $18M in Defamation Case Against Kennedy Agyapong

Ghanaian investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas has been awarded $18 million in damages by a US court in a defamation case against former MP Kennedy Agyapong and a co-defendant. The ruling stems from years of controversy and attacks following Anas' groundbreaking exposés on corruption within Ghana’s political and judicial systems. The judgment has ignited debate across Africa and beyond—champions of free press hail it as a clear message against smear campaigns targeting journalists, while critics raise concerns over its implications on political discourse. Does this landmark ruling protect journalism or threaten open political commentary? Shadrach Baa-Naa Kundi, Director of Operations and Research at the African Centre for International Affairs, is joining us from Accra to unpack this case's legal and political significance.
