Samuel Nartey George

Samuel Nartey George is a Ghanaian politician who represents the Ningo-Prampram constituency in the Greater Accra Region and who has become one of the NDC's more prominent parliamentary voices on technology, telecommunications and digital economy issues, a focus that reflects both his personal professional background and the growing importance of digital policy in Ghanaian governance.

He was born in Ghana and built a career in the technology and telecommunications sector before entering parliamentary politics as a member of the National Democratic Congress, winning the Ningo-Prampram seat in a Greater Accra constituency that sits along the coastal strip east of Accra. His professional background in technology has given him a policy credibility in digital governance debates that most of his parliamentary colleagues cannot claim.

His parliamentary work has centred substantially on questions of telecommunications regulation, digital infrastructure, cybersecurity and the governance of Ghana's growing digital economy. He has served on and engaged with the parliamentary committee most relevant to those issues and has been a consistent voice in media debates about the management of spectrum, the regulation of fintech and mobile money services, and the policy framework for Ghana's ambition to become a digital hub in West Africa.

He has been particularly vocal on questions about the e-levy, the controversial tax on mobile money transactions introduced by the Akufo-Addo government, which generated significant public debate and which he opposed on both policy and equity grounds. His technical background gave his arguments on that issue a credibility that made him one of the more effective parliamentary critics of the policy.

Samuel Nartey George continues to represent Ningo-Prampram and to engage with national digital and technology policy through his parliamentary work and public commentary, a politician whose professional background has given him a genuine and distinctive contribution to make to some of the most consequential policy debates of Ghana's digital transition.
