The Court of Appeal has dismissed a request by former Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong to stop a defamation lawsuit. This was his second attempt to halt the legal proceedings.
The lawsuit was filed by Kwesi Twum, who is the CEO of the Multimedia Group. The case also involves the Multimedia Group and Joy FM.
Justices Angelina Mensah Homiah and Emmanuel Wuni were part of the panel that made the decision. The court's ruling means the defamation case can now proceed.
Mr. Agyapong had sought to stop the case from moving forward in the courts. The details of his earlier attempt have not been specified.
The Multimedia Group and its CEO are pursuing legal action against the former MP. The specific claims in the defamation suit are not detailed in the court's decision to dismiss the halt request.
This ruling allows the courts to hear the substantive defamation case. The outcome of this case will be determined through the legal process.
