Modern Ghana is privy to defamatory suit against investigative journalist, Manasseh Azure Awuni by Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Limited (SML).
According to SML, despite the pendency of a defamatory suit against Manasseh Azure, he has consistently peddled defamatory claims against them, repeating same in Chapter 28 of his book, ‘‘The President Ghana Never Got.’’
In a suit filed at the High Court in Accra and cited in the Friday, February 21, 2025, edition of the Ghanaian Times newspaper, the company is demanding an apology and the retraction of Chapter 28, titled ‘‘The Mother of All Scandals’’. SML is also seeking a permanent injunction to restrain Manasseh from publishing any further defamatory contents against them.
The company contends that Manasseh’s book contains false and damaging statements about its contracts with the Government of Ghana (GoG) and the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), including claims that the company’s activities constitute “the biggest scam,” “a shady deal,” and a scandal.”
SML maintains that its contracts with the GRA and GoG were based on a risk-reward model, under which it would only be compensated from additional revenue generated through its services, insisting it has carried out all its operations with “utmost integrity, accountability, and transparency.”
