Sam George deserved more than one slap - NPP Chairman

The Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the New Juaben North Constituency in the Eastern Region, Kwadwo Boateng-Agyemang, has disclosed that the Member of Parliament for Ningo Prampram, <a href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/news/politics/minority-walks-out-of-parliament-during-swearing-in-of-new-ayawaso-west-wuogon-mp/jq9g8bw" id="255fd60d-a550-4b41-8c6b-358e63e0051d">Sam George</a>, should have been assaulted severely at Ayawaso West Wuogon last week.

He said the slap that was meted out to the NDC MP was not enough and should have been more.

Kwadwo Boateng-Agyeman contends that Sam George caused fear and panic, therefore he deserved the assault.

“The fact that you are an MP doesn’t mean you should misbehave. Sam George should have received more slaps. He was even lucky that he ran after the first slap. How can you cause fear and panic and claim that you were shot 15 times,” he said.
