Communications minister turning into an Idi Amin

According to him, Sam Nartey George is fast becoming an Idi Amin in the office he is occupying and needs to be checked.

His comments come on the back of the recent closure of radio stations, dismissal of staff, and calls on directors to resubmit their CVs.

To Hassan Tampuli, the actions of the minister must be checked, as he is doing more than he has been mandated to do.

“What the Minister is doing is to probably later on request that every promotion that will take place at NCA must be brought to the Minister for him to authorize before. Even staff salaries would have to be sent to the minister for him to pay. Mr Speaker, it looks like we have an Iddi Amin in the making.

This house will not watch for an Idi Amin to emerge at the Ministry of Communication. We are sending a signal to the Minister of Communications to relax; the exuberance is getting too much,” he said while addressing Parliament.

However, the Majority Leader, Mahama Ayariga explained that the Communications minister cannot be likened to a dictator, but Hassan Tampuli insisted that he had not mentioned him being a dictator but rather they look alike in terms of body size.
