Former Dome-Kwabenya Member of Parliament (MP), Sarah Adwoa Safo has expressed deep concerns about the impact of her role on the safety and well-being of her family.
The former Gender Minister has disclosed that her life was threatened with the safety of her children in jeopardy during the 2012 election.
She revealed this in an interview on Asempa FM Ekosii Sen, stressing the threats occurred on multiple occasions and she had to take a brave decision.
This, she explained, was the reason she had to send her two children abroad for their well-being and safety.
“I sent my children abroad during the 2012 election because my life was being threatened including that of my children.
“Someone went into my children’s school on two occasions to impersonate my driver in order to pick them. But fortunately, the school called me to verify and I couldn’t watch it happen a third time,” she stated.
Although she did not mention which people were involved, she acknowledged that it could have been from any front, considering that herself and the children’s father are all politically exposed persons.
She made the revelation while recounting the sacrifices she has made for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), highlighting a court case over a fraud detected in the parliamentary results in 2012.
“So I have sacrificed a lot for the NPP to deliberately hurt them but once things don’t go well and you speak up, you are tagged as bad,” she said.
