原文原文 / Original Text

The Accra High Court has sentenced the Editor-in-Chief of The Herald newspaper, Larry Alans Dogbey, to seven days imprisonment for contempt of court.

The sentence was handed down on Thursday by Justice Isaac Addo after the court found Dogbey guilty of breaching an injunction that restrained him from publishing alleged defamatory stories about Mr Kevin Okyere, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Springfield Exploration and Production Limited.

Mr Okyere, in an application for committal for contempt, argued that the publications had damaged his reputation within the oil and gas industry.

He maintained that despite being aware of the court's injunction, Dogbey continued to publish stories concerning him.

Counsel for Mr Okyere, Sean K. Poku of Sory & Partners @ Law, urged the court to impose a custodial sentence, arguing that Dogbey's conduct demonstrated disregard for judicial authority and the rule of law.

According to counsel, the respondent knowingly violated the court order by publishing stories intended to tarnish Mr Okyere's reputation while the substantive case remained before the court.

He further argued that Dogbey's actions undermined the authority of the judiciary and risked encouraging others to disregard lawful court orders.
