Constituents of Dome-Kwabenya have responded to their Member of Parliament, Sarah Adwoa Safo's recent apology.

In a Facebook video posted on September 14, the MP apologized to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for the controversies caused by her extended absence from parliamentary duties.

She acknowledged her actions were unjustified, citing personal challenges, and expressed regret. She extended her apologies to President Akufo-Addo, Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia, the Chief of Staff, parliamentary leadership, the party hierarchy, and her constituents.

While some constituents have accepted her apology, Theophilus Ansah Larbi, in an interview with JoyNews' Samuel Mbura, stated that although the apology is acknowledged, Sarah Adwoa Safo will not be considered for the parliamentary election in 2024.

He emphasized that while no one can prevent the MP from contesting, the delegates have the ultimate say. He also expressed the belief that the party has sufficient individuals to represent the constituency and that they are weary of hearing the constituency's name associated with negative news.

“Okay, we accept your apology but we think enough is enough. When you go to the marketplaces and ‘trotro’ [bus] stations, people say that if we don’t know and we bring Adwoa Safo back,they will vote against her,” he said.

Constituents appear divided on the issue, however. While some were willing to accept her apology and give her another chance, others were of the view that they ought to give her a taste of her medicine.

“Adwoa Safo’s administration is very poor, you see her around when it’s time for election with ‘macho’ men that is what all of them are up to,”’ one constituent said.

Another said “They are there for their own interest. What are they doing to help the constituency so that I get the benefit of the vote cast?”

“The MPs are many, we want them to be downsized”one said.

“Human beings offend humans, so if she has done something and realizes her wrong, who are we to say no? We will forgive her… For apology, it is accepted but to give the person the chance to do that again, it will not happen.”
