Leading member of the New Patriotic Party, NPP, Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, has sued former Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation, Professor Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng following allegations the Professor made against him in the galamsey report.
Prof. Frimpong-Boateng in his galamsey report accused several people, including Gabby of interfering in the work of the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Illegal Mining which he chaired. But in a suit at the High Court, Mr. Otchere-Darko is demanding 10 million cedis (GH¢10m) from the former Minister in damages.
Mr. Otchere-Darko also demands an apology and retraction from Prof. Frimpong-Boateng. As part of the reliefs, Gabby also demanded a perpetual injunction restraining the defendant whether by himself, his servants, agents or assigns from repeating similar or other defamatory words against him.
