Commenting on the issue on Atinka FM’s AM Drive with host Kaakyire Ofori Ayim, Mensah Thompson, Executive Secretary for Alliance for Social Equity and Public Accountability (ASEPA) said his outfit 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 Sarah Adwoa Safo.
He maintained that the imposter did not exchange pleasantries with his supposed colleagues on Tuesday but the ‘original’ Adwoa Sarfo was seen exchanging pleasantaries with her colleagues the next day.
“After watching closely the proceedings in Parliament on Tuesday, we at Asepa had our suspicions and doubts about the person who claimed to be Adwoa Sarfo. After the proceedings we took screen shots and videos and sent it to a forensic expert outside Ghana. A feedback from the expert confirmed our suspicions. This is a serious issue and we will have our investigations,” Mensah Thompson told Kaakyire Ofori Ayim.
