According to Tamale Central lawmaker Ibrahim Murtala Mohammed, the only thing the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Members of Parliament (MPs) wanted was for the Majority in Parliament to handle the issues involving Dome-Kwabenya MP Sarah Adwoa Safo, who has been fired as Minister of Gender, Children, and Social Protection, in accordance with the law.
He claimed that the NDC lawmakers disagreed with Adwoa Safo’s behaviour in skipping out on Parliament without authorization.
“We never supported Adwoa Safo, all we wanted was that they should respect the law,” he said on the New Day show with Berla Mundi on TV3 Wednesday, July 3.
He added, “Adwoa Safo’s conduct as Minister is completely insulated from her conduct as a Member of Parliament. Our argument as far as her role as Minister was concerned was that the president needed to have fired her if indeed she abandoned her post for over a year.
“Let’s insulate that from her parliamentary duty. Absenting herself from parliament for 15 days was the reason the speaker referred to the Privilege Committee,” he said.
