In a moment that had the vetting room buzzing, Jerry Ahmed Shaib confronted Samuel Nartey George with a direct question: “Sam George, many think you are disrespectful. Are you?”
For a politician known for his fearless debates and strong opinions, this was a defining moment. However, without hesitation, Sam George responded with a calm yet powerful statement: “Opinions are like noses. My parents behind me are proud of the son they have raised.”
His response was not just an answer—it was a statement of identity, a declaration that his values and principles are rooted in the upbringing he received. It was also a subtle yet firm rebuttal to critics who see his assertiveness as disrespect. Instead of getting defensive, he redirected the focus to what truly matters—his integrity and the approval of those who shaped him.
For many Ghanaians watching the vetting session live, this moment was vintage Sam George—bold, unapologetic, and deeply personal. His supporters see him as a fearless advocate who speaks truth to power, unafraid to challenge authority when necessary. However, his critics argue that his strong-willed nature sometimes comes off as confrontational.
But love him or dislike him, one thing is clear—Sam George is not about to change who he is to please public perception. His confidence in his values and upbringing reinforces his belief that leadership requires strength, not just diplomacy.
As the vetting process continues, Ghanaians will be watching closely to see how his passion translates into governance, especially in the digital and communications sector he hopes to lead. One thing is certain: he won’t be holding back.
