Former Dome-Kwabenya Member of Parliament (MP), Sarah Adwoa Safo, has opened up about the mistreatment she faced from New Patriotic Party (NPP) members.
The former Gender Minister disclosed that she was sidelined from committee work and removed from the parliamentary platform after her dismissal as Gender Minister on July 28, 2022.
Some individuals even labeled her a traitor.
“At one point, I was not given any parliamentary committee. After I complained, I was assigned to the Judiciary Committee, but meetings were never called,” she shared in an interview on Accra-based Okay FM.
She further explained that while it’s the new leader’s responsibility to consult predecessors on committee preferences, her case was different. “I was just in parliament and even removed from the MPs’ platform with claims that I was a traitor,” she lamented.
Adwoa Safo expressed disappointment over being wrongly accused, despite her dedication to the party, and emphasized that she never abandoned her ministerial and parliamentary duties.
This comes after she recently revealed she was moved to the backbench as a first-time MP following her removal as Deputy Majority Leader.
