Majority Leader,\u00a0Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, has stated that numerous attempts have been made to get Dome Kwabenya Member of Parliament\u00a0Sarah Adwoa Safo\u00a0to return to the country but all proved futile.<\/p>\n
In an interview with Accra-based Okay FM, the Suame MP detailed that in of such instance, an unnamed revered person who is a close associate of\u00a0Sarah Adwoa Safo\u2019s family went to visit her abroad in a bid to persuade her to return but was unsuccessful.<\/p>\n
According to Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, the Dome Kwabenya MP said she did not have time to return to the country.<\/p>\n
Post the visit of the revered person, the Majority Leader said that\u00a0Sarah Adwoa Safo\u00a0reached out to him saying that her return to the country was imminent however Covid-19 testing abroad was frustrating her.<\/p>\n
He stated that he was in contact with Adwoa Safo but failed to return even though she indicated she will be in the country by Easter.<\/p>\n
\u201cA respected person who is even friends with her father went to see Adwoa Safo [to] appeal to her. The respected person spent two weeks there. In the end, she didn\u2019t come. She said she doesn\u2019t have time to come to Ghana. She didn\u2019t come.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was the when she called me and told me she\u2019s on her way but Covid test [frustrating her]. She sounded like she was at the airport already and it was only left with the Covid test to be done for her but they were saying a lot of things.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey said she didn\u2019t come early so unless she goes home and comes the following day before they can do it for her. In the course of that, she said she has moved the test to the weekend. The weekend too she said she thought they will do the Covid test for her. The matter was complicated.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe day she went, it was a public holiday so they couldn\u2019t do it for her and for that reason it had to move to the following day again. All this time I was engaging her on that. In the end, I wasn\u2019t hearing from Adwoa Safo for 2 weeks on whether or not she has been successful with the Covid test to allow her to come back to Ghana.<\/p>\n
\u201cDuring that time, she mentioned that she will come back during Easter. This was in the first meeting of Parliament. She didn\u2019t come during Easter. May, June, and July is ending and she hasn\u2019t come. When she says she\u2019s been politically witch-hunted, I don\u2019t understand her,\u201d\u00a0Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu\u00a0said.<\/p>\n
Sarah Adwoa Safo\u00a0has been absent from Parliament since the beginning of this year.<\/p>\n
According to her, she needs time off to sort out family issues abroad.<\/p>\n
Her absence made the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, direct her together with two other MPs to appear before the Privileges to respond to why they have been absent without permission<\/p>\n
While the two MPs,\u00a0Kennedy Agyapong\u00a0and Henry Quartey appeared, appeared\u00a0Sarah Adwoa Safo\u00a0did not appear.<\/p>\n
