Sam George debunks claims of involvement in coup plot

Member of Parliament (MP) for Ningo-Prampram, Sam Nartey George, has dissociated himself from any alleged coup plot adding the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has no intentions to overthrow the government.

The MP, in a statement, said his attention has been drawn to what he described as "wicke and false" publication circulatihg on social media and other electronic news platforms under the heading: “Exposed!!! NDC has set January 13, 2019 as date for coup”.

In a statement he issued and copied to GBCONLINE, Monday night, the MP stated emphatically that: “The story is false and has no foundation. I also wish to unequivocally refute all the baseless and spurious claims in the said article and add that, I have never been part of any meeting or a group whose intention was or is to disrupt the 4th Republic”.

Adding that: “As a Member of the 7th Parliament of the 4th Republic, and a member of the NDC, I remain committed to our cherished democracy; hence will continue to contribute meaningfully and actively towards its sustainability”.

According to Mr. Sam George,: “As a Ghanaian and a member of the NDC, I remain committed to Ghana’s democracy”.

The MP pointed out that the publications followed the arrest of Deputy General Secretary of the NDC, Koku Anyidoho over comments in relation to a coup d’etat.

He charged the Minister of National Security, Albert Kan Dapaah and the entire national security apparatus to ensure that the originators of the false information are brought to book.
