The General Secretary of the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA), Dominic Hlordze, has called on Parliament to enact a dedicated defamation law, arguing that the absence of clear legislation is creating uncertainty within Ghana's media and legal systems while leaving journalists vulnerable to litigation. Speaking on JoyNews during a discussion on defamation suits against journalists, Mr Hlordze said the country's continued reliance on common law principles to determine defamation cases is inadequate and offers little certainty for journalists, editors, the judiciary and members of the public.
