The former Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya, Sarah Adwoa Safo, has voiced her concerns about how the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is handling her disciplinary proceedings.

Her concerns arose after she arrived at the NPP headquarters to respond to misconduct allegations, only to be told by a party officer that the meeting had been canceled.

According to her she was not informed of this in advance. Speaking to reporters on Monday, April 7, Safo questioned why she was not personally notified of the cancellation.

“There was no committee sitting. I had an engagement with one of the party’s national officers. There was no hearing, so I am asking myself why I was served on a Sunday to appear when there’s no committee sitting. And then, if there was a change of plan, why wasn’t I served personally or summoned to be told?” she said.

She continued, “If there was a change of plan, why wasn’t I served personally or phoned to be told…I am prepared for a committee hearing, and I come and there is no sitting, so I just pack my bag and just come out.”

Safo expressed disappointment in the party’s handling of the matter, highlighting her frustration with the lack of professionalism.

“I just think that as a party we ought to be a bit serious about these things because, as a lawyer, when a client is referred to a disciplinary committee, the presumption is that the person has done something untoward and you are going to be disciplined.”

“…So why ridicule me in public and come here and tell me that the committee is not even sitting…I thought there was a better way to do this,” she added.

However, NPP’s Deputy General Secretary, Haruna Mohammed, who received Safo at the party’s office, disputed her claim.

He clarified that the former MP had been properly informed about the change of plans through her legal representatives.
