Minister of Communications, Digital, Technology and Innovations, Sam Nartey George, has disclosed that he was mentally prepared for the intense scrutiny he faced during his vetting by the Parliamentary Appointments Committee.
Appearing before the committee for over five hours, the Minister was subjected to a wide range of questions, many of which focused on his controversial statements during his time in opposition rather than his qualifications for his new role.
The Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, led much of the questioning.
Speaking in an interview with Bernard Avle on The Point of View on Channel One TV, on Monday, April 14, Sam George said he was not offended by the probing questions and had anticipated the approach the Minority would take.
“I didn’t take offence, I was prepared for it. I knew what to expect, I knew that I was one of the people the Minority was going to try to make a case with. Mentally, I was prepared for it. I think it was the first spot,” he stated.
He also expressed confidence in his performance during the vetting, stating that he believed he acquitted himself creditably.
