Isaac Aidoo, the lawyer for the late Gertrude Quashigah, has said the family is in deep pain following recent remarks on corruption by former Minister for Gender, Sarah Adwoa Safo, during her tenure as National Coordinator for the School Feeding Programme.
Speaking on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem, lawyer Aidoo slammed Adwoa Safo’s claims, stating that any audit reports against Madam Quashigah, should have been made public during her lifetime.
“If you had the audit report, you were supposed to bring it to the public, not wait until she’s no longer here to defend herself,” he said.
He further stated that the late Gertrude Quashigah made significant contributions to the School Feeding Programme, ensuring better nutrition for children.
“This woman did a lot for this country, especially for the School Feeding Programme. She had a good heart for the children,” he added.
Meanwhile, the family has called on Adwoa Safo to immediately retract her comments and offer an unqualified apology.
The lawyer has therefore warned that if Adwoa Safo fails to apologize, the family will pursue other legal avenues.
“The law will still take its course if she does not apologise,” he stated.
