The members of parliament (MPs) in the majority caucus who initiated the move to force Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta out of office and did not walk the talk should be blamed for the economic challenges currently confronting Ghana, Ningo Prampram MP, Sam Nartey George has said.
He therefore wants Ghanaians to hold those MPs accountable for the economic challenges.
In a television interview on TV3, monitored by Graphic Online on Wednesday [Oct 4, 2023], morning, Sam George said, “If there is any group in this country that we need to hold accountable, who actually should be kicked out of parliament, for lacking the integrity to carry through their words, it is majority in parliament”.
“Did they not announce to this whole country that they wanted Ken Ofori-Atta to go? Did the majority leader Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu not come and announce that it was a collective decision of the whole caucus? Did they not say that they were waiting for the IMF deal to be done?”
He said although the Minority caucus in Parliament brought a motion for censure against Mr Ofori-Atta the Majority caucus voted against it.
“Did we not present them an opportunity to walk their talk by bringing a motion for censure? Did they vote along the lines of the vote of censure based on what they had said they will do? They lack integrity, they are men and women whose words you cannot take. If there is anybody who sits in that Chamber and pursue partisan considerations it is the NPP members of parliament, the majority side”, he said.
Sam George accused the Majority side of walking the bid of President Akufo-Addo, “They will not vote in line with the wishes of the Ghanaian people when a large majority people of Ghana said Ken must go. Ken is there, and Ken will be there and majority of them will lose their primaries because they lack integrity. People will hold them accountable for it.”

You are aslso HOOLIGANS
It is only in Ghana that most people think security is always a person. You can work in a bank for 20 years but may never get the chance to enter the bank's vault which is a security place in the bank. UN security council is the most potent organization within United Nations, only 8 permanent members in the world. Director of security of a central bank like BOG is not a watchman. He has his department with staff under him. Dr Ato Forson should have known better because, he was on the board of BOG.
You will surely regret with time & in time. Shameful church elder
Sam George and his guys have started ruining NDC's chances of winning some sympathy votes with their comments. Some of us are thinking of voting for the NDC, but with arrogance like this, I better advise myself.
So if this Sam George knows that majority NPP Parliamentarians are responsible for these financial difficulties why this ***barred word*** demonstration? I always ask does this NDC people knows what they are doing? I bet NO.
Hmmmmm, the "watchman " looks more presentable than the so called MP. What is the motivation for this man to vote for no nen ti ties to win political power and misbehave. But for politics do you have a CV that comes close to what your "watchman" have ? Between you and the which of you looks more presentable to represent people? Kosia t3
I remember how the late ET Mensah described this Sam George boy....... He said Sam George is a treacherous person. ET RIP.
True, he doesnt owe anybody an apology for referring to the Wing Commander and head of security in a condescending posture. Equally, he owes Addison no apology for referring to him as coward. In same manner, Addison owes nobody an apology for referring to the MPs as hooligans. Simple and short
Who is shifting goal posts? This is the most sensible comment Sam George has made. Those Parliamentarians need to be held accountable for not representing their constituents, period!!!!!
Shifting the goal posts? Asem oo
