Editor of the Hawk Newspaper, Charles MacCarthy, says he is ready to defend his claims against the National Lottery Authority, insisting he is not intimidated by any threats.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, Mr MacCarthy maintained that his publication on the NLA Director-General’s alleged demand for a $6,000 rent allowance was accurate and contained no falsehood.
He clarified that his report stated the Director-General demanded the allowance, not that he had received it, adding that the Authority’s response did not dispute the core issues he raised.
Mr MacCarthy also said concerns he raised about the “good causes” fund under the Authority remain unanswered.
The National Lottery Authority has, however, denied claims that its Director-General requested a salary increase and a $6,000 monthly rent allowance.
They described the allegations as false, clarifying that the Director-General has not applied for any salary increment.
According to the Authority, ongoing discussions relate to a broader review of conditions of service for all staff and management, not a specific request by the Director-General.
