In addition to the plain and defamatory per se contents of the articles, as set out above, the defamatory allegations carry out with them the secondary meaning, innuendo and sting that the plaintiff is not a law-abiding citizen and, therefore, unfit to hold public office. The plaintiff’s reputation and standing, being a current and serving minister of government, has been significantly lowered in the eyes of the public. As a result of the defamatory articles, plaintiff, who is a Cabinet minister and a revered academic, has been damaged in his reputation and has suffered damages in the amount of four million dollars. The cited respondents are yet to enter appearance to defend notices. More: NewsDay _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
