“I am therefore by this letter drawing your attention to the consequences of the Award GJA gave to Anas Aremeyaw Anas whilst I give you and your Honourable Association the opportunity to rectify a blatant wrong that has been inflicted on the whole of the Ghanaian public by the conferment of the said award.”
Dery in his petition threatened to head to court if the GJA does not act immediately on what he described as a “blatant wrong.”

“Your response to my letter will determine my next line of action since I am determined to use all lawful and legal means at my disposal to ensure that the provisions of the 1992 Constitution are upheld and complied with by all persons.”
Investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas at GJA’s 21st award ceremony at the Banquet Hall in Accra was adjudged the overall best journalist for 2015.
He emerged the Journalist of the Year 2015 for exposing 22 Lower Court Judges and 12 High Court Judges who were caught on tape taking bribes to undermine justice.
Meanwhile the President of the GJA Affail Monney, had earlier stated that they are ready to face anybody who has issues with the award of Anas Aremeyaw Anas as 2015 best journalist of the year in court.
