The Supreme Court will today, Wednesday, July 10, deliver a ruling on whether the National Security Minister, Albert Kan Dapaah should answer some 17 questions put to him by a lawyer for political activist, Oliver Barker-Vormawor, in an ongoing defamation case at a High Court in Accra.
This come after the National Security Minister had accused the Convener of the FixTheCountry Movement, Oliver Barker-Vormawor of defamation when he alleged that some National Security operatives and government officials had offered him money to stop his activism against the government.
Subsequently, a GHc10 million defamation suit was filed against him by the National Security Minister.
But the current action at the apex court is to order the Minister to respond to some questions of facts which Mr Baker-Vormawor insists would put clarity on the suit against him at the High Court
Oliver Barker-Vormawor and his lawyers are hoping that the Supreme Court will compel the National Security Minister to answer questions he had declined to answer at the High Court citing national security concerns.
