OUR PARTY HAS NO ISSUE WITH HON.ADWOA SARFO – GENERAL SECRETARY,NPP
Justin Kodua Frimpong,General Secretary for the Nana Addo led New Patriotic Party (NPP), has disclosed that the party is satisfied with the current output of the Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya Constituency and hold no case against her.
“Yes, issues happened in the past and she came back to apologise to the party and now I can tell you that she is doing her work as Member of Parliament for her constituency,” he said.
“So,far as the party is concerned now, currently we are satisfied with what she is doing as a Member of Parliament for her constituency.” he added.
Adwoa Safo had absented herself from Parliament for more than a year in 2021, prompting a parliamentary inquiry. Judgement is yet to be delivered by the Speaker after the Privileges Committee submitted its report in 2022.
The former Deputy Majority Leader apologised to the rank and file of the party over her absence, which provoked a lot of constituents, particularly members of the NPP, to demand her removal.
“Mr Kodua Frimpong said “everything” is fine between the party and the former Minister of Gender, Children and Social Protection.
But he insists the delegates will have the final say in February, 2024.
“The issues that happened belong to the past but at the end of the day, the party will have internal elections, so it is up to the constituents in her constituency to decide.”
He conceded the party was not happy with what ensued during the period of Adwoa Safo’s absence and that affected its fortunes, especially in Parliament “but now everything is fine”.
