We are ready to defend ourselves in court – GJA responds to Dery

Justice Paul Dery, one of the High Court judges in Anas Aremeyaw Anas’ corruption expose’ accused the GJA of contempt of Court for adjudging Anas as the best journalist of the year.

Monney defended the GJA’s decision to award Anas saying even the people “on the street will agree that as far as 2015 was concerned Anas is the best journalist.”

Monney explained that a journalist does not have to necessarily submit an entry before been adjudged the best for the year.

He also disputed the notion that the person with the most awards at the event must necessarily win the best journalist of the year.
