The Majority in the Parliament of Ghana has boldly said Ghana’s Minister of Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, Samuel Nartey George, won’t resign as being demanded by the Minority New Patriotic Party (NPP) lawmakers.
According to the Majority, the Minority’s calls for Sam George’s resignation are baseless and politically motivated.
Addressing journalists at a news conference in Accra on Friday 3, 2025, a Member of Parliament of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sulemana Adama, says criticisms against Sam George over the MultiChoice Ghana DSTV subscription fee dispute were unfair and without merit.
Adama, who is a member of the Parliamentary Select Committee on Communication, told journalists that Sam George has made significant strides in the sector within a short period and should be supported rather than criticised.
In reference to failures by some NPP government officials in the past to resign for not honoring their promises to Ghanaians, Adama says “A whole president put his presidency on the line to fight galamsey—he failed, but he did not resign. A minister of state said he was not thinking right in procuring vaccines—he did not resign.”
He recounted that “The former Minister of Communication signed opaque deals—he never resigned and nobody called on him to do so. How do you call on a minister who has achieved so much in just a little over eight months to resign?”
At a recent press conference, the Minority accused Sam George of misleading Ghanaians, failing to secure a promised 30% reduction in DStv subscription fees, and misrepresenting MultiChoice’s promotional offers as government achievements. They also demanded a refund of levies imposed on DStv and asked the President to remove Mr. George from office if he refused to resign.
