Ayorkor Botchwey sues Ablakwa, Africawatch magazine over Oslo mission report

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey has sued the Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa as well as the Africawatch Magazine over the publication of some alleged defamatory piece against her with regards to the newly opened Ghana’s Embassy in Oslo, the capital of Norway.

The magazine said government was attempting to buy two properties – one for the chancery and the other for the Ambassador’s residence at the cost of US$16.5 million.

A similar claim had been made by Ablakwa and the Minority in Parliament several months back.

In a writ of sighted by citinewsroom.com, the Foreign Affairs Minister, through her lawyers, described the publication was “defamatory…and without any basis.”

She is among other things demanding a retraction of the story and “compensatory damages US$ 20 million for loss of reputation against the defendants.”
