Paper Counter-Sues Khama

Khama, through his attorneys Collins Newman and Company, has slapped the paper with a defamation suit, demanding a total of P850,000 in damages. The suit, according to Khama, relates to two stories - one surrounding the killing of suspect John Kalafatis - and another that questions Khama's motives on his clamp down on alcohol consumption in the country.

In its response to Khama's demand, the newspaper has refused to apologise or retract its stories and instead wants to meet Khama face-to-face in court.
