There was a ‘no show’ at the New Patriotic Party (NPP) headquarters at Asylum Down, Accra, where former Dome-Kwabenya Member of Parliament (MP) Adwoa Safo was scheduled to appear before the party’s Disciplinary Committee.
Accompanied by a charged crowd singing solidarity songs, Adwoa Safo arrived at the party premises ahead of the meeting initially scheduled for 11:00 am on Monday, April 7.
However, upon arrival, she discovered that there was no committee sitting—only a party official was present to meet her.
In an interview with the media, an infuriated Adwoa Safo questioned why the party leadership failed to communicate the changes to her.
She said she was served the summons letter on Sunday, April 6, 2025, but honoured the invitation as a law-abiding citizen.
“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 fumed.
She also criticised the party leadership for failing to act seriously and professionally.
“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,” she lamented.
As a lawyer, she pointed out that when someone is referred to a disciplinary committee, the presumption is that they have committed a wrongdoing and are facing disciplinary action.
“That is the purpose of the disciplinary committee. So why ridicule me in public and then tell me that the committee isn’t even sitting?
“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 stated.
The former Gender Minister reaffirmed her commitment to the party and confirmed her availability for any future disciplinary hearings, should she be called upon.
“I will be available to appear before the party whenever I’m called upon. 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,” she concluded.
