Ghanaian legislator Sam George has openly criticized the National Peace Council, labelling it a partisan entity that supports the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).
He has urged for the dissolution of the organization, accusing them of turning a blind eye to the faults of the current government while being vocal during the previous administration led by John Dramani Mahama.
Furthermore, Sam George confronted the Council after they stated that they had not yet decided on his efforts against gay rights in the country.
“The Peace Council is a disgrace and a shame. I have said this before and I will say it again. They are hypocrites—extremely hypocritical.
“We’ve seen the posture of the Peace Council. The Peace Council has become a political organisation; it should be disbanded for the sanctity of Ghana’s peace. The Peace Council is a threat to our peace, yes ” he fumed during an appearance on 3FM’s Sunrise on March 5, 2024.
Sam George criticized the Council members for betraying their principles, drawing a parallel to the biblical tale of Esau and Jacob.
“It’s a bunch of hypocrites who have sold their conscience like Essau sold his birthright for a bowl of porridge. The men and women who sit on the peace council, if they have a conscience and if they fear the God that they say they serve and worship, should bow their heads in shame, he fumed.
