NPP Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya, Sarah Adwoa Safo, has incurred the wrath of the Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the party over her absence from Parliament and alleged misconduct towards the party.

Adwoa Safo's Misconduct

Lawyer Sarah Adwoa Safo has for months now not stepped a foot in Parliament to join her colleagues in the deliberation of matters as she is based in the United States of America.

She was earlier said to be on an extended leave of absence but it later turned out that she has refused to return to her parliamentary duties.

Her refusal to come back to Parliament has gravely affected the NPP, particularly nearly sabotaging their will to implement the Electronic Transaction Levy (E-Levy).

Despite all attempts to sweet-talk her to return home and continue her parliamentary assignments as her absence has left her constituents orphan, Lawyer Adwoa Safo remains unperturbed and unwilling to heed the party's pleas.

We Saw It Coming 

Speaking in an interview with host Kwami Sefa Kayi on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo' programme Thursday morning, the NPP Greater Accra Regional Chairman, Divine Otoo Agorhom sounded very fed up with the behavior of Adwoa Safo.

He noted that the party foresaw she would one day exhibit such rude behavior towards them but were still willing to help her.

"We saw it coming", he said, expounding that one signal that perhaps should have made the party aware of Adwoa Safo's behavior is that the Dome-Kwabenya MP abstained from the inauguration of her own campaign team during the 2020 elections.

"This problem that we are experiencing at Dome-Kwabenya, I saw it long [long] before the elections. Would you believe that when we were doing the inauguration of the campaign team for Dome-Kwabenya, the then MP/candidate refused to partake? . . . She didn't even appear on the scene," he stated.



Adwoa Safo Rejects NPP's Help

Mr. Divine Otoo Agorhom further disclosed that, although Adwoa Safo refused to attend the inauguration, the Regional leadership of the party decided to assist her to win the elections, therefore, he (Divine) sent a key member of the party, Hon. Adjei Sowah, to Dome-Kwabenya constituency to join the campaign train of Lawyer Adwoa Safo.

But "she insulted him till the man packed his belongings and said no, no, no; I won't do this again and left," he narrated.

He added that the leadership didn't give up but also assigned the former Member of Parliament, Akua Afriyie, who had then lost her seat to Madam Sheila Bartels, to also help Adwoa Safo but the latter continually annoyed her (Akua Afriyie) and did everything to make her job a "living hell".

Mr. Otoo Agorhom also revealed that he once reported lawyer Adwoa Safo's character to the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
