“The prerogative lies with the President, and he knows exactly what I am capable of doing and I have done for the party, what I have done for Parliament, and he knows that I won’t intentionally abandon my duties if I had no just reasons, and he won’t allow me to stay for the family if he didn’t know exactly what is happening.”
On the same show, Sarah Adwoa Safo also disclosed that she has not been served any notice to appear before Parliament’s Privileges Committee.
