I complain that Ghanaian education doesn’t teach enough practical skills but if my child says they want to become a plumber, electrician, carpenter or mechanic, I’ll call an emergency family meeting to find out where I went wrong as a parent. Can’t you see your mates entering the university? We need skilled workers. Just not from my house 👍🏾
LET’S TALK ABOUT DEFAMATION IN A WAY EVEN A 5 YEAR OLD CAN UNDERSTAND
1. Defamation occurs when a person communicates something about another person which is false and harms that person’s reputation. It is not enough that the statement is rude, offensive or embarrassing. The real question is whether it would cause reasonable people to think less of the person concerned.
2. Defamation traditionally comes in two forms. Libel generally refers to defamatory statements recorded in a relatively permanent form, such as a newspaper article, Facebook post, video or WhatsApp message. Slander generally refers to spoken words. In the age of social media, most disputes involve libel because our words are written, recorded, forwarded and preserved.
3. In Ghana, criminal libel was repealed in 2001. This means that defamation is ordinarily dealt with as a civil wrong rather than as a crime for which someone should be imprisoned. A person whose reputation has been unlawfully damaged may sue for compensation, an apology, a retraction or an order preventing further publication.
4. Not every damaging statement is defamatory. If I say that a public official stole public money, I am making a statement of fact which must have a reasonable factual foundation. But if I say that the official’s policy is foolish, wasteful or dangerous, I am generally expressing an opinion. The law must distinguish an allegedly false fact from criticism, satire, exaggeration and opinion.
5. A person accused of defamation may have several defences. The statement may be substantially true. It may be an honestly held opinion based on facts disclosed to the public. It may have been made on an occasion protected by privilege, such as certain statements in court or Parliament. In some circumstances, responsible communication on a matter of public interest may also receive legal protection.
6. This brings us to SLAPPs, meaning Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation. A SLAPP is a lawsuit, or threat of one, used primarily to frighten, exhaust or silence someone who is speaking about a matter of public concern. The claimant’s real objective may not be to win at trial. Sometimes, the punishment is forcing the critic to hire lawyers, attend court repeatedly and live under the weight of a massive damages claim.
7. Imagine that residents complain that a mining company owned by a politically exposed person is polluting their river. Instead of answering the allegations, releasing its environmental records or addressing the pollution, the company demands GH₵20 million from one community activist for “defamation.” Even if the company eventually loses, years of litigation may frighten other residents into silence. That chilling effect is often the point.
8. But we must be careful: not every defamation case brought by a powerful person is automatically a SLAPP. Journalists, activists and citizens can also publish false and seriously damaging allegations. Reputation is a legitimate interest, and freedom of expression is not permission to invent facts. The question is whether the claimant is genuinely seeking protection from a wrongful publication or weaponising money and legal procedure to suppress public scrutiny.
9. Warning signs of a possible SLAPP include an extraordinarily large damages claim, threats against several journalists or activists at once, attempts to drag proceedings out, demands to remove truthful public records, and a refusal to identify precisely what was false. Another sign is a huge imbalance of resources: a wealthy politician or corporation using expensive litigation against an individual who cannot afford a prolonged defence. None of these signs proves abuse by itself, but together they should make us look closely.
10. A healthy democracy must protect both reputation and public participation. That requires responsible speech, careful journalism and consequences for deliberate falsehoods…

IF YOU CANNOT FIX THE ENVIRONMENT, YOU CANNOT FIX THE ECONOMY.
The economy and the environment are TWO SIDES OF THE SAME COIN. When one side is damaged, the other loses its value.
A polluted river doesn't create prosperity. Barren land doesn't feed nations.
A warming planet doesn't build lasting wealth.
Every forest destroyed, every ecosystem degraded, and every climate disaster comes with an economic cost.
THERE IS NO HEALTHY ECONOMY ON A SICK ENVIRONMENT .
PROTECT NATURE. GROW THE ECONOMY. SECURE THE FUTURE.
