A defamation suit brought against the National Communication Officer of the NDC, Sammy Gyamfi, by Vokacom has been dismissed after three years of gruelling trial.
Vokacom Limited, developers of the GhanaPostGPS app that was championed by Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia, instituted the defamation action against Mr Gyamfi in 2018, seeking damages to the tune of GH¢3 million.
The basis of Vokacom’s suit centred on some comments they alleged Sammy Gyamfi made about the “National Digital Address System” at a press conference organised by Caucus for Democratic Governance Ghana (CDG-GH) in 2018.
In a brief explainer on the matter to Prime News, Sammy Gyamfi said “the Court, after considering the facts of the case and the evidence adduced during the trial, dismissed the action of the Plaintiff (Vokacom Limited). Cost of GH¢8,000 was awarded by the Court against the Plaintiff...”
He added: “With the help of God and my lawyer, Edudzi Tamakloe Esq., I stood by every word I uttered at the said presser and mounted a robust defence during the hearing of the case.”
He has vowed that the matter of the GhanaPostGPS will soon be revisited.
“My special and profound appreciation goes to my lawyer and brother Edudzi Tamakloe Esq. for his pro-bono legal services and for standing by me every step of the way. I am most grateful to the Honorable Court for upholding the truth.
“This matter will be revisited sometime in the soon-to-come future. Until then, aluta continua, victoria ascerta!” he said.
