Joyce Bawah Mogtari demands GHS10m compensation from Abronye DC for defamation

Presidential Advisor Joyce Bawah Mogtari has formally demanded a retraction, public apology, and GHS10 million in compensation from Kwame Baffoe Abronye (Abronye DC) over alleged defamatory statements made during a Net 2 TV interview in March 2025.

In a letter dated April 3, 2025, from her lawyers at R.O. Solomon Consulting, Mogtari accuses Abronye DC of making false, reckless, and malicious claims that she was advised against vying for a ministerial role and instead took a presidential staffer role with a GHS95,000 monthly salary, supposedly a stress-free position.

Abronye also allegedly stated that due to this salary, Mogtari had become disrespectful to Ghanaians.

The statements, widely circulated on platforms such as GhanaWeb have, according to the letter, caused severe embarrassment, reputational damage, and public ridicule for Mogtari.

The legal team insists that unless a public apology and retraction are issued across the platforms where the comments were shared, and the compensation paid, they will initiate legal proceedings.

The letter emphasizes the constitutional right to free speech does not extend to spreading deliberate falsehoods aimed at damaging reputations.
