Minister for Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations, Samuel Nartey George, has offered public support to embattled NDC National Communications Officer, Sammy Gyamfi, urging him to remain strong amid the backlash from a controversial dollar video that has sparked internal party outrage.
In a Facebook post on Monday, George described Sammy Gyamfi as a dedicated comrade who has consistently supported others, particularly party grassroots.
While acknowledging the criticism over the incident — in which Sammy was seen giving what appeared to be a cash gift — the minister called for a balanced perspective.
“We fall, we learn, we rise! A comrade who has stood with many and continues to do so. You may have issues with who he gave to and what he gave but let’s be fair to the young man,” he wrote.
George, who has recently taken up a ministerial role, revealed that Sammy Gyamfi has been one of the most persistent advocates for employment opportunities for party members.
“Since I have been appointed, Sammy is the most troublesome person on my phone looking for jobs for party people. It is who he is,” he noted, defending Gyamfi’s commitment to the party’s grassroots.
The minister acknowledged the ongoing criticism but encouraged Gyamfi to respond respectfully to any official concerns while maintaining his confidence.
“I can relate with all the attacks but Sammy Gyamfi, keep your head up, respond to the query but always know you have the respect and affection of many,” he concluded.
