I do appreciate the role of Journalists all over the world, but I appreciate much the role of investigative Journalist who act fairly and believe in truth at any costs. DW2 informed the court that, after they heard what the President alleged about NHC Board, they went far to investigate on those allegations by interrogating those who were among the investigation team and they had a whistle blower, which is not an offence. Therefore, what was expected by any reasonable person was the said journalist to come out with real evidence on what was stated by the then President. Astonishingly, they came out with other new stories of which they don’t have even a piece of evidence to prove the same. I am aware that the whistle blower has a right to be protected, and this court did not ask the defence witness to mention who was their source of information, but what was needed was just the hard evidence to show the truth of the Published statements. Therefore, in absence of the real evidence on what was published by the Respondents, there is no doubt that the published news was false statements. I now turn to the second test which is the effect of the published statements in the minds of reasonable man in the society. The Petitioner herein was the Executive Director of the Corporation and is a presidential appointee. He is a Senior Officer who has been trusted with the top Leadership of this country. 20
