Former Board Chairman of the National Lottery Authority (NLA), Gary Nimako Marfo, has filed a defamation suit against four journalists and the Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA) over a report alleging that the Authority handed over a GH₵3 billion lottery business to KGL Technology Limited for just GH₵170 million annually. Mr. Nimako is demanding GH₵10 million in damages, a full retraction, and a public apology with the same prominence as the original publication. Mr. Nimako has denied claims in the alleged offending report, insisting that the report lacked a factual basis and was designed to mislead the public. According to him, the spending formed part of a broader strategy to build partnerships and promote the NLA’s Caritas Lottery Platform. He maintained that the funds were not misused but invested to support the agency’s social impact work and wider objectives.
