Sam Nartey George is MP for Ningo Prampram
The Greater Accra Regional Executive Committee of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has suspended Ningo Prampram’s electoral district secretary, Mr. Okoe Mensah, with “immediate effect”.
This follows an accusation leveled against the Member of Parliament by Ningo Prampram, Mr. Samuel Nartey George, suggesting that he fired a gun during one of his campaign tours in certain parts of his constituency.
In a statement, the opposition legislator said: “I was struck this morning by a false, malicious and disgusting statement signed by the Assemblyman for the Mobole electoral area in my constituency, Mr. Okoe Mensah, which also works as constituency of the NDC secretary “.
Mr. Nartey George stated that “this wicked lie is the work of a devious mind in need of help, adding that:“ For the avoidance of any doubt, I wish to state unequivocally that at no time was any weapon discharged during my visit to the Mobole electoral area , as part of my campaign activities last Sunday ”.
“The people of Ningo Prampram have welcomed me into their communities for the past 14 days as my team and I embarked on our door-to-door and advertising campaign,” the statement said.
A statement signed by Greater Accra Regional Secretary Theophilus Tetteh on Friday, October 2, 2020, said that Okoe Mensah has been suspended for six months in accordance with Article 46 of the NDC constitution.
“By this copy of this letter we are referring the matter to the Disciplinary Committee of the Constituency for further action to be taken.”
Additionally, Ningo Prampram’s deputy Sam George sued Mr. Mensah for defamation.
