The Member of Parliament (MP) for Ningo Prampram, Sam Dzata George has denied hurling 'tribalistic' insults at Mohammed Sulemana, the National Security operative who slapped him.
Mohammed told the Emile Short Commission of Inquiry that he slapped the MP because he insulted him; however, at the time, he didn't know Sam George was a legislature.
However, the operative apologised to the MP saying "My Lord, I was guilty. I regret what I did. Whenever you err, what you need to say is 'I'm sorry and I will not do that again"
However, in a post on Facebook, Sam George wrote:
"I am gobsmacked that the Commission would accept the lie that I insulted the hoodlum who attacked me. Where in the video that they have played repeatedly did anyone hear an insult?
The claim that I uttered insults to him based on his tribe is sickening. Anyone who knows me would testify that even in my imperfection, I have NEVER shown or exhibited any ethnocentric proclivities. I see myself as a Ghanaian. Nowhere in the videos that have been widely circulated do you hear me reference any tribe in all my utterances.
