Member of Parliament (MP) for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has asked his colleague MP, Kennedy Agyapong to desist from rebuking Adwoa Safo for her continuous absence from Parliament.
According to the lawmaker, Kennedy Agyapong is guilty of being absent from Parliament as well.
Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong has confirmed reports that, Dome Kwabenya Member of Parliament, Sarah Adjoa Sarfo is demanding the Deputy Majority Leader position in Parliament.
According to him, the stance taken by the Dome Kwabenya MP indicates that she is a total failure in life for demanding that position when she is still a Cabinet Minister.
Adwoa Safo, is reported to have expressed the desire to be announced publicly as the Deputy Majority Leader in Parliament in addition to her position as Minister for Children, Gender and Social Protection.
Confirming the reports on GTV on Monday, Mr Agyapong said, “yes, she says she wants to be the Deputy Majority Leader. That woman has failed in life. A whole Minister Cabinet Minister is now saying she should be made the deputy majority leader before she comes, she should go to hell!

”Because I have two kids with her so I can’t speak the truth? I will speak the truth even at a gun point, I will speak the truth and die. Mr. Agyepong angrily spoke out.
Reacting to the development in a Facebook post, Member of Parliament (MP) for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa noted that between October 26, 2021 and November 24, 2021; Ken Ohene Agyapong and Henry Quartey were absent without permission from the Rt. Hon. Speaker, Alban S.K. Bagbin, for 18 working days each.
“I am therefore perplexed and wondering, in all sincerity, the basis for the discriminatory and unprincipled attacks on Sarah Adwoa Safo by our colleagues on the NPP side of the House, and particularly from Ken Ohene Agyapong who is equally guilty of the same offence he’s been raving and ranting about,” Okudzeto added.

From a thorough and unimpeachable assessment of the Votes and Proceedings of Parliament — between October 26, 2021 and November 24, 2021; two NPP MPs: Ken Ohene Agyapong and Henry Quartey who is also Greater Accra Regional Minister were absent without permission from the Rt. Hon. Speaker, Alban S.K. Bagbin, for 18 working days each.
I am therefore perplexed and wondering, in all sincerity, the basis for the discriminatory and unprincipled attacks on Sarah Adwoa Safo by our colleagues on the NPP side of the House, and particularly from Ken Ohene Agyapong who is equally guilty of the same offence he’s been raving and ranting about.
In all fairness, we expect and will also ensure that the Privileges Committee considers the matter of three absenting MPs and not one. Article 97 (1) (c) of the 1992 Constitution and Order 16 (1) of our Standing Orders must not and will not be applied selectively.
Realistically, Ghanaians should be preparing for three by-elections in Assin Central, Ayawaso Central and Dome/Kwabenya.
