The Minister-designate for Communications, Digital Technology, and Innovation, Samuel Nartey George, has expressed strong support for his colleague, Rockson-Nelson Defeamekpor, MP for South Dayi, amid his recent suspension from Parliament.

This comes after the South Dayi MP was suspended from the House along with three other MPs for two weeks by the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Bagbin following a disruptive incident during the Appointments Committee's vetting session on Thursday, January 30.

My dear Brother,

I stand with you in this moment of unfortunate adversity. You are a victim of your kind heart and humanity. You are a bulwark for our Caucus and we stand shoulder to shoulder with you.
