Who The Hell Is Sam George? I'll Descend On Him So Bad.....Vows Koku As He Re-ignites Spat With NDC Activist
Koku Anyidoho, Deputy General Secretary for the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) has vow to silence certain elements in the party who are quick to run people down at the least provocation.
To him, members of the Government's Communications Team, especially Sam George, bent on formenting trouble for President John Dramani Mahama and his administration by launching vitupertaive attacks on virtually everyone in the country must be “fried”.
Speaking in an interview with Adakabre Frimpong-Manso, host of Me Man Nti, a late afternoon political discourse programme on Neat 100.9 FM, the former Director of Communications at the Presidency during the late John Evan Atta Mills' regime, stated that the erratic power outage currently being experienced in the country is a matter of concern for all and “no one should think they can insult their way out of it”. To him, it is not about how to tame the babies with sharp teeth in the NDC, but "about individuals with circumspection".
His comments come on the heels of a barrage of invectives fired at the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) and technocrats for the various roles they are believed to have played in the run-up to the current energy challenges.
Presidential Staffer, Sam George, is reported to have blamed the current energy crisis on the incompetence of engineers at the Volta River Authority (VRA), accusing them of receiving 10,000 dollars and other juicy perks yet failing to deliver on their core mandate. He is said to have also dismissed claims that the current energy crisis could be as a result of coincidence.
“The engineers at the VRA have so many questions to answer as far as this energy crisis is concerned...there's a deliberate sabotage somewhere in the chain to ensure that some of these equipment don’t work,” he claimed on Atinka FM’s AM Drive, Tuesday.
Sam George also wondered why engineers working on a private initiave, the Asogli plant, were able to fix the plant within a week when it developed a fault, but same cannot be said of other power plants managed by VRA engineers, which have not been fixed for almost a year of now.
“It is the duty of the VRA to advise Government on contingency plans in order to prevent needless crisis but [they] are not doing so,” he lamented.
But Koku Anyidoho is of the conviction that the spewing of such offensive words to further provoke Ghanaians are not needful at this present time and believed the party and government can handle the situation better than that.
"...I had to protect the President and i did that (when i was Mills' spokesperson), but i never disrespected any of you....Who is Sam George, i am very angry in my soul now?" he asked rhetorically at which the host replied, "he is a product of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology and he's undertaking a law programme now."
