Ningo-Prampram lawmaker, Sam George did not take it lightly after investigative journalist, Manasseh Azure Awuni took him on for threatening to beat the Australian Ambassador over his role in LGBTQ+ activities in the country.
Manasseh in a Facebook post said “If the laws of Ghana do not allow homosexuality, those same laws don’t allow an MP to threaten to beat up a diplomat or insult them on live TV. Sam George this is terrible. And it’s a disgrace to the people you represent. Apologise to them and the Australian High Commissioner,”
However, Sam George in a rebuttal told Manasseh to stay mute when he has no wisdom to add to issues instead of commenting on everything.
“I consider you a friend and would urge you to know that when you do not have wisdom to add to an issue, silence is a better option.
“You want me to apologise to who? For what? What law are you quoting that I have broken? I am not a stooge who is afraid of the white man. Tell your friend that I said if he is a diplomat, he should respect the laws of our Country. Simple,” he stated in reply on Facebook.
“For someone who trumpets the fight against corruption, I would assume that you truly love our Country. What part of your culture support homosexuality? What part of your upbringing embraces that perversion? I would expect better judgement from you.
“Do not be in a haste to have an opinion on every matter. I believe the commentary under your own post will indicate to you the pulse of the Country. Be advised. My regards to your lovely wife, who is a woman. Cheers.”
