I Disagree With Anas, But Will Not Condemn Him- Sampson Lardy

Journalist and lawyer Samson Lardy Anyenini discussed the latest scandals involving investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas on a recent episode of his “Samson’s Take” on Joy News.

Anyenini admitted that he does not share the general condemnation of Anas, even though he may not always agree with Anas’s tactics.

He underlined how critical it is to acknowledge Anas’s contributions to Ghana’s efforts to combat corruption and advance accountability.​

Anyenini’s position demonstrates a nuanced viewpoint, namely that one can have misgivings about specific journalistic methods while yet appreciating the results they yield.

This strategy emphasizes a dedication to constructive criticism by avoiding harsh denunciation and instead concentrating on the more general goals of fairness and transparency.​
