If you’ve never been sick before, then go ahead and insult people — Yaw Baafi fires at Sam George

Yaw Adomako Baafi, a former Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has criticized Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram, Sam George, for what he described as a lack of humility and spiritual discipline in his political conduct.

Speaking during a program on Movement TV, monitored by GhanaWeb, Baafi voiced his concerns about the perceived inaction of Archbishop Charles Agyin-Asare, founder of Perez Chapel International, in addressing the behavior of Sam George, who is reportedly a senior member of the church.

Baafi expressed surprise that someone holding such a position within a religious institution would not exhibit greater modesty and restraint, suggesting that the church leadership had a role to play in guiding its members, especially those in the public eye.

He compared this to his own experience, stating that his actions are closely observed by his church leaders, family, and even his children, implying that such accountability fosters better conduct.

“If you are a politician and you’ve never been sick before, then go ahead and insult people. But if you’ve ever had a headache, that alone should teach you a lesson,” he said.

Extending his criticism beyond Sam George, Baafi lamented what he sees as a general lack of compassion among some politicians.

He argued that personal experiences with illness, bereavement, or even walking past a cemetery should inspire empathy and humility in public servic

Baafi added that arrogance has significantly damaged the MP’s public persona.
