Spit your bile in the face of Amoako Attah, mine is to lobby – Sam George tells #NameAndShame campaigners

The Member of Parliament for the Ningo Prampram Constituency, Mr Samuel Nartey George has urged the #FixTheCountry Campaigners to direct their anger and frustration about poor roads in the country to the Minister of Roads and Transport, Mr Kwasi Amoako-Attah instead of Members of Parliament.

According to him, his role as MP as far as road projects were concern only ends with lobbing adding that constructing of the roads was the job of the Minister of Road.

Mr Sam George said he had lobbied and if that hadn’t been provided that was the failure of the minister and must be held responsible.

“Asking an MP to get roads fixed? For real? The #NameAndShame campaign must be backed by basic knowledge. My job is to lobby but you have a Minister for Roads & Highways. If you have any bile, spit it at him for that is his job. I have lobbied. He has failed. Hold him responsible,” Mr Sam George’s twitter post sighted by GhanaPlus.com reads.
