The approval of Hon. Sam George as Minister for Communications has hit a political deadlock, as the outspoken Member of Parliament (MP) has reportedly refused demands to apologize to President Nana Akufo-Addo and the Chief Justice.
Sources indicate that a meeting was convened to persuade Sam George to offer a public apology on the floor of Parliament to gain the backing of Akufo-Addo loyalists for his approval. However, the MP has flatly rejected the request, insisting that he did not apologize during his vetting and would not do so now or in the future.
In response, Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin is said to have pushed for a vote on the matter. However, uncertainty looms over whether his caucus will fully support his stance, as several members have reportedly expressed their willingness to vote in favor of Sam George’s approval.
Latest intelligence suggests that in an attempt to avoid division within the caucus, some MPs may choose to abstain from the vote entirely. The situation remains fluid, and more updates will follow as further details emerge.
