Minister-designate for Communications, Digital Technology, and Innovations, Sam George
Minister-designate for Communications, Digital Technology, and Innovations, Sam Nartey George, has dismissed claims from state security reports suggesting that he was once a member of TESCON while studying at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST).
Appearing before the Appointments Committee on Thursday, January 30, 2025, the NDC MP described the claim as an “unfortunate lie.”
During the vetting, Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin stated that as part of the Committee’s due diligence, state security reports indicated that Sam George was a former TESCON member.
When asked to clarify, Sam George vehemently refuted the claim, insisting that he had never been associated with the student wing of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
“This is part of the reason why I have consistently said that the new Mahama administration must overhaul our entire state security apparatus. It is woefully ineffective if it claims I was a TESCON member,” he remarked.
