Dr. William Anarfi Sarpong, a Ghanaian medical entrepreneur, has taken legal action against US-based journalist Kevin Taylor and his media platform, Loud Silence Media, for defamation. The lawsuit, filed at the High Court in Accra, seeks GH¢20 million in damages over allegations made by Taylor during a Facebook Live broadcast between February 26 and 28, 2025.
According to the court documents, Taylor accused Dr. Anarfi of fraudulent dealings and misconduct involving the Ghanaian government. However, Dr. Anarfi, the owner of Spintex Medical Center, has denied these claims, labeling them as false and malicious fabrications intended to damage his reputation. His legal team, Gomdah & Associates, argues that Taylor’s statements went beyond professional criticism and included exposing the entrepreneur’s family by sharing their personal details and images.
The court has given Taylor and Loud Silence Media eight days to respond to the lawsuit or risk a default judgment. So far, neither Taylor nor his representatives have publicly commented on the case. The lawsuit adds to ongoing debates about the influence of digital media personalities and the potential consequences of unverified online allegations.
