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 recent vetting before the Parliamentary Appointments Committee.
The Minister, who spent over five hours before the committee, revealed that many of the questions directed at him focused more on his past controversial political remarks rather than his qualifications and vision for the new role.
The questioning was largely led by the Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin.
Speaking in an interview with Channel One TV, Sam George said he was not surprised by the nature of the vetting, as he anticipated that the Minority would adopt such a strategy.
“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.
Sam George also expressed confidence in his performance, stating that he believes he represented himself with honesty and integrity throughout the process.
