Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram, Sam Nartey George, has clapped back at a netizen who slammed him on social media over the bad roads in his constituency.
On September 13, a Twitter user by name @ghanamunsemsem called out Mr Nartey George for failing to ensure the bad roads in Ningo-Prampram are fixed.
The tweep claimed that the legislator deliberately refused to answer a question on the deplorable state of roads in the constituency.
“Honorable @samgeorgegh ignored our question on why he has horrible roads in his constituency to tweet posts that will help him retain power. They see and ignore our concerns always. Look at this.”

This remark was not welcomed by Mr Sam George who decided to educate the netizen on who is responsible for road construction and the necessary repair work in the country.
In his reply, Mr George noted that the Minister for Roads and the District Chief Executive are responsible for such an initiative. He therefore entreated the concerned citizen to do the needful and reach out to the appropriate authority.
For him, he would “normally continue to ignore arrogantly ignorant folks, but you are intent on spreading your uneducated ignorance,” hence the need for clarification.
“Get an education on whose role it is to construct roads. When Parliament passes the appropriations bill with a spending line for road construction, do you see the name of an MP there? Why did you not tag the Minister of Roads or the DCE who represents government and is responsible for development? I have NEVER campaigned on roads and CAN NEVER be held responsible for the colossal failure of those in government whose responsibility it is and who are paid with our taxes,” he wrote.
He therefore advised the tweep to “Next time, take your social studies classes seriously before embarrassing your teachers and parents on social media.”
