The Alliance for Social Equity and Public Accountability (ASEPA) has called on parliament to immediately constitute a committee to investigate the alleged impersonation of lawyer Sarah Adwoa Safo, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Dome Kwabenya on November 30, 2021, when the Majority side of the House approved the 2022 budget after the rejection of same was reversed.
ASEPA says it has submitted the footage of proceedings on the day and added pictures of the MP to a forensic expert who has concluded that the woman who came to parliament on the day was not the MP.
The alliance has expressed readiness to submit the findings from the expert and also willing to testify if necessary.
In their petition, they want the matter to be probed and all persons engaged in the criminal act punished by the laws of Ghana.
They also want the House to investigate claims that the Chief Justice, His Lordship Justice Anin Yeboah held a meeting with the Majority before the purported approval of the budget on Tuesday.
This ASEPA believes amounts to an interference in the work of the legislature.
