General News of Wednesday, 7 September 2016Source: citifmonline.comYou can sue over Anas’ award - GJA dares Justice DeryAnas wins journalist of the year awardThe President of the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA), Affail Monney, has called the bluff of embattled judge, Paul Uuter Dery, who is threatening to sue the association if does not withdraw the best journalist of the year award presented to investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas. Paul Dery petitioned the GJA asking it to strip Anas of the best Journalist of the Year award because in his view, Anas’ judicial corruption piece that won him the award is under contention. The judge argued that, Anas used unethical methods in his story-gathering process hence does not deserve the award. In the wisdom of the association, Anas stood out, nationally and internationally as the best. What we did was not an aberration, was not inconsistent with the traditions over the best journalist of the year,” he argued.
