The former New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament for Dome Kwabenya, Sarah Adwoa Safo, today stormed the party’s headquarters at Asylum Down with her supporters.
This was to follow up on an invitation to appear before the party’s disciplinary committee, unfortunately, the committee did not sit today.
Addressing the media at the party’s headquarters, Adwoa Safo
said she was unaware of the decision to suspend her appearance before the disciplinary committee today.
“There was no committee sitting today. I had an engagement with a national party officer, but there was no hearing. I’m left wondering why I was served a summons on a Sunday for a meeting that didn’t take place. If there was a change of plans, why wasn’t I personally informed? Why wasn’t I contacted by phone? Some of you have my number directly,” she said.
She further added, “As a party, we need to take these matters more seriously. I came here ready for the committee meeting, but now I find myself in a situation where there’s no hearing, no committee, and no explanation. This could have been handled much more effectively.”
“The message being sent to the public is that I have done something wrong, something untoward, and that I have come here to be disciplined,” she said.
The former Member of Parliament expressed frustration, “I’ve come here, but there is no one here, which suggests the case is either baseless or there is no finding on it. I thought this matter could have been handled better, which is why I came here today to see what was happening, only to find nothing has been done.” Is this how I’m being treated? It’s disheartening.”
Adwoa Safo reaffirmed her commitment to the party “I will be available to appear before the party whenever I’m called upon.”
The party summoned her to the disciplinary committee following her comments on JoyNews’ The Pulse show, which was considered as a direct violation of an earlier directive prohibiting members from discussing matters that could create disaffection and unrest within the party.
