NDC Leadership of Ningo-Prampram has strongly condemned the recent attack on its Member of Parliament, Samuel George Nettey.
In a statement copied to Peacefmonline.com, the leadership called on the police to with immediate effect “do the needful and approach this case with all the seriousness” to redeem their “bad image” under the Nana Addo-led administration.
“Whilst condemning this heinous attack on our Member of Parliament, we wish to urge the Ghana Police Service, to as a matter of urgency do the needful and approach this case with all the seriousness and the professionalism it can command, to help redeem its rather sinking image under this Nana Addo-led NPP administration,” Constituency Secretary Okoe Mensah said.
Sam George was assaulted during the confusion at the La Bawaleshie Presby school polling station in the early hours of Thursday morning.
He, however, accused the NPP of unleashing vigilantes on him – but the NPP, however, denied any of the accusations leveled against them.
Below is the full statement
The leadership of the NDC and the Ningo-Prampram Secretariat has taken notice of the brutal and barbaric attacks on our Member of Parliament, Hon. Samuel Nartey George and many other innocent party folks.
The Member of Parliament, who was going about performing his lawful duty of monitoring the by-election at AYAWASO WEST WUOGON CONSTITUENCY on Thursday 31st January 2019, was bounced upon and brutally beaten amidst several gunshots by heavily built gunmen, purported to be members of the NPP's "Invisible Forces" at the La-Bawaleshie Presby polling station.
The MP has sustained several wounds on many part of his body as a result of slaps meted at him, as well as the back of a gun used to physically assault him.
This we see as an attack on constitutional democracy and the rule of law. This condemnable act is a significant case of the state of insecurity that we find ourselves in as a country. This act reflects a complete breakdown of law and order under the Nana Addo led NPP government and an affront on the Democratic gains made so far as a country, where a Member of Parliament gets attacked by gunmen in the full glare of the police, without any protection.
Whilst condemning this heinous attack on our Member of Parliament, we wish to urge the Ghana Police service, to as a matter of urgency do the needful and approach this case with all the seriousness and the professionalism it can command, to help redeem its rather sinking image under this Nana Addo-led NPP administration.
We also wish to remind the NPP government about its cardinal responsibility to keep Ghana, all its citizen and their properties safe at all times without any fear of discrimination, be it ethnic, religious or Political !
We also wish to take this opportunity to express our deepest sympathy and solidarity to our Hon. Member of parliament, Samuel George Nartey and all other victims of the brutalities that happened at AYAWASO WEST WUOGON, urging him to exercise maximum restraint in this very difficult times with the assurance that he can count on the support of the NDC leadership and the constituency Secretariat at all times till this issue is brought to its logical conclusion.
Thank you.
Long Live the NDC. ..
Long Live Ningo-Prampram

The slap should have sent this 1diot reeling on the floor and had some of his teeth removed. His piggy size gives him that false confidence that he is strong to face anybody. Remember what he did to E.T Mensah in those days to unseat the old man? This is the law of karma!
What was he doing there? NDC pulled out of the electiom, so he was there just to cause trouble.
Next time you will not be lucky
These Are ALL what NDC is trying to do and divert ATTENTION from the revived railway from Accra -Nsawam, and the revived Oboasi gold mine, FREE SHS, 1V1D, 1D1F. NPP sine your eyes and be on top of the game!
NO ONE GAINS FROM THIS...NPP HAVE FAILED GHANA...U SHALL LOOSE
you never saw the Odododiodoo, Telensi,Atiwaa and Chiriponi bye elections. go and ask and probably you would know that Sam was virtually given an ice cream with just about two slaps. let us learn and move forward.
ReCklE$$ and u$eLe$$ gar8age, by their fruits, you shall know them. Ur incompetent leader summed it all. Who do you think you are fooling. You still have gaps in your statements. You never learn NDC. SMH
Whether he went to law school or not, he has been cited couple of times in our justice system, how many of your so called better school” lawyers can compare themselves to him, stup!d foo:l, even John Mahama is respected, what has been able to achieve in his private life,
Sam George, this kind of bravado will put you in serious trouble one, how do go about daring the security, and you are quick to site US as an example whether senators can be attacked or beaten by police, Mum question where in the US do you see a senator physically abusing and insulting the security, MPs are not above the laws of the land. these small small bozy who have gotten the opportunity to be Parliament think they have arrived making them immune to all powers
THIS IS THE MOST DISGRACEFUL ACT TO GHANA'S PARLIMENT EVER, SINCE THE INCEPTION OF THE FOURTH REPUBLIC WHERE THE SITTING PRESIDENT HIMSELF RECEIVED SOME NUTURING TO RISE TO THE POSITION AS PRESIDENT OF GHANA. I AM BEGINNING TO BELIEVE WHAT PEOPLE SAY THAT THE PRESIDENT NEVER READ LAW AND QUALIFIED AS A LAWYER ANYWHERE UNDER THIS UNIVERSE. THE WAY HE GOES ABOUT THE AFFAIRS OF THIS DEAR COUNTRY OF OURS BETRAYS HIM AS ONE WHO HAS FORGED TO OBTAIN A LAW CERTIFICATE THAT IS IF EVEN HE HAS A FORGED ONE. NO WONDER KOFI KOOMSON SAID HE CAN NEVER SLEEP WITH THE COUNTRY IN THE HANDS OF THIS RECK*LESS LEADER.
