Seth Osei Kissi, the Chief of Staff for Dome-Kwabenya Member of Parliament and lawyer Sarah Adwoa Safo, has disclosed that the lawmaker was absent from work for an extended period due to circumstances beyond her control.

In an interview with Nyankonton Mu Nsem on Rainbow Radio 87.5FM, Kissi explained that the MP had traveled because she was expecting a child, but unfortunately, she experienced a miscarriage.

Adding to her distress, the MP received news that her first son had fallen ill and was at risk of losing his ability to walk.

These unfortunate incidents greatly traumatized the MP, necessitating her longer absence from work to address these personal challenges.

"The MP’s absence was not intentional,” he said. "She was pregnant and due to give birth, so she travelled to give birth, but she, unfortunately, lost the child during childbirth. During the same period, the first son became ill and nearly lost his ability to walk. The two stories were devastating, but she remained steadfast and strong throughout. These were the reasons she was gone for so long. She had no plans to leave the district or her job for that long. Her absence was due to the circumstances of the time.”

Kissi further shared that the viral video of the MP singing occurred after the doctor attending to her son informed her that his surgery had been successful and that he would regain the ability to walk.

The disclosure of these details was prompted by constituents persistently seeking answers regarding her prolonged absence. Additionally, Kissi confirmed that the MP will seek re-election in the NPP's parliamentary primaries.

Meanwhile, he has revealed that the MP has met with the youth and women organisers in the constituencies and that she will soon meet with the organisers, secretaries, and leaders in the constituency to inform them that she will run again.

He claimed that her meetings so far have been positive and that the delegates have declared a ‘No Adwoa Safo, No Vote’ campaign.
