Everything he said proved that he was coached says the Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram constituency.

Sam George was reacting to the testimony of Bright Ernest Akomea popularly known as Double who appeared before the Justice Emile Short Commission today.

Double had told the Commission that the Ningo Prampram MP had obstructed their operations; when they were trying to disperse the crowd gathered infront of the then Parliamentary candidate of the NDC.

"Sam George got there when we started the search . . . Before his arrival; they all agreed that we search the car. When he got there, he asked why we were intimidating his people and I told him that there were a lot of people there so he should go back for us to do the search, and he insisted on stopping us from doing the search and the people also started agitating. When we were pushing them back they started throwing stones and water at us; the water from the house and the stones from the crowd," he indicated. Click to read more

He also alleged that about 10 to 15 motorbikes led Sam George to the La Bawaleshie polling centre during the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election; an allegation the MP had continuously denied.

Sam George reacting to this in an interview on Citi Eyewitness news, Tuesday said Double was just acting.

According to him, "Double was coached to come and give the testimony…(by) his paymasters. Ask yourself why it took this long for Double to appear before the Commission. Motorbikes and others were all part of what he was told to come and say"
