The General Secretary of the NDC Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has been slapped with a sum of 600 cedis in the 15 million cedi defamation suit by the Board Chairman of the Audit Service, Professor Edward Dua-Agyeman.
The case is in connection with Mr Nketiah’s comments on radio which Prof Dua-Agyeman said was intended to damage his reputation.
Mr Nketiah accused Prof Dua Agyeman, who is a former Auditor General of churning out “fake” audit reports based on which he was sacked by the Association of Accountants.
According to Mr Dua-Agyeman, without basis or probable cause, Asiedu Nketiah “ostensibly sought to impugn his integrity, dignity and reputation to ridicule him.
Appearing in Court, the Presiding Judge stated that Asiedu Nketia refused to enter judgment for more than five months since the suit was filed.
The lawyers for Prof. Dua Agyeman demanded a 10, thousand cedi fine against the NDC General Secretary but the Judge awarded a minimal cost of 600 cedis.
