NPP reportedly holds crunch meeting over Adwoa Safo’s absenteeism from Parliament
The Dome Kwabenya MP has been out of Parliament since the beginning of the year after a leave of absence she took from being the Minister of Gender, Children and Social Protection was extended.
President Akufo-Addo has reportedly summoned a crunch meeting of the National Executive Committee of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) over the absenteeism of Dome Kwabenya MP, Sara Adwoa Safo.
Her absenteeism is significantly affecting the ruling party’s ability to form a common front in Ghana’s hung Parliament, where the NPP needs all hands to push through controversial legislations like the Electronic Levy (e-levy) that over 90% of Ghanaians have rejected.

According to reports, the meeting at the Jubilee House over Adwoa Safo’s “pissing in” went into full gear on Monday, February 21st and was aimed to reach a firm resolution as to what to do the NPP parliamentarian who has abstained from Parliament and consequently making the ruling party the minority in the legislative chamber.

The Dome Kwabenya MP has been out of Parliament since the beginning of the year after a leave of absence she took from being the Minister of Gender, Children and Social Protection was extended.
It is not exactly clear why Adwoa Safo has been abandoning her parliamentary duties but some members of the Majority side in parliament, including ex-lover, Ken Agyapong, have said she is absent in protest of her being changed as the Deputy Majority Leader.
In the past, there have been reports that she got peeved after her recent dismissal of the Head of School Feeding program, one Madama Quashiga, was reversed by President Akufo-Addo.
Following that, Adwoa Safo flew to Europe and has remained there until recently, she began posting videos of herself dancing on the social media site, Tik Tok and using innuendos to jab her party.
The videos have since annoyed people, including Ken Agyapong who has said that her seat will be declared vacant.
Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, the foul-mouthed NPP MP for Assin Central, recently took to the cleaners Adwoa Safo, with whom he has two children.

In an interview on GTV, Ken Agyapong angrily vows that the Dome-Kwabenya seat that Adwoa Safo occupies will be declared vacant and that the woman can either “go to hell” or go and contest for MP on Tik Tok, where she has been hanging out after abandoning parliament.
“Yeah, she should go and contest on Tik Tok,” he told GTV, saying Adwoa Sarfo has exceeded a 15-day absence from parliament.
The cheeky advice is in reference to the Dome Kwabenya MP’s video posts on Tiktok while staying away from parliament. In one of such posts, the MP is seen rocking to gospel music and dishing and aiming some of the lyrics at her “enemies”.
“It is my father, Apostle Kwadwo Sarfo who once said that in life, God has time for everyone and when your time comes He will elevate you to the consternation of those who look down on you,” Adwoa Safo said in one of her videos.
The MP’s leisurely hangout on TikTok is despite the fact that the NPP Majority group in parliament is at its wit’s end as it is increasing failure to get the obnoxious e-levy approved because of their disadvantage in numbers.
According to Ken Agyapong, Adwoa Safo, who is also supposed to be the Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, has been deliberately staying away from parliament in petulant protest of the Majority side’s decision to make Effutu MP, Alexander Afenyo Markins, rather than her, Deputy Majority Leader.
“She says she wants to be a deputy Majority Leader, that woman has failed in life….a whole cabinet Minister now demanding that she should be made deputy Majority Leader before she comes,” Ken Agyapong explained, adding, “she should go to hell.”
When asked if she has specifically requested to be made the deputy Majority Leader, Ken Agyapong replied in the affirmative.
