The disciplinary committee of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has summoned the former Member of Parliament (MP) for Dome Kwabenya, Sarah Adwoa Safo.
A letter from the party to the former legislator indicated that she is required to appear before its disciplinary committee on Monday, April 7, 2025, at the party’s headquarters in Asylum Down.
The letter stated that Adwoa Safo, a former Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, is to appear before the committee to assist with an investigation into a matter currently under consideration.
“Pursuant to the directive of the Chairman of the Disciplinary Committee, you are hereby invited to appear before the Committee to provide assistance in an inquiry into a matter currently under its consideration,” part of the letter reads.
The party also stated that the former MP should provide evidence related to the matter being investigated, adding that she may appear before the committee with her lawyer.
“You are advised to present any documentary evidence or witnesses pertinent to the matter under investigation. Furthermore, you are entitled to legal representation during the proceedings should you so require. Kindly acknowledge receipt of this correspondence and confirm your attendance.
“The Party remains committed to upholding principles of transparency, fairness, and due process. Your cooperation in this regard is greatly appreciated,” it added.
Background:
The NPP referred former Member of Parliament for Dome Kwabenya, Sarah Adwoa Safo, to the National Disciplinary Committee of the party for anti-party conduct.
In a statement dated March 20, 2025, and signed by the General Secretary of the party, it was stated that Adwoa Safo is expected to set a good example and adhere to the principles of discipline, loyalty, and unity that define the party.
Her failure to do so contravenes Article 3(5) of the party’s constitution, hence the party’s action against her.
“Following the directives issued to all members of the New Patriotic Party to cease discussions on matters that create disaffection within the party in the media, Hon. Sarah Adwoa Safo’s comments in the media, particularly on the Pulse show on Joy News, are a clear contravention of the directive issued to all NPP members.
“As she is aware, the directive explicitly states that all party members must cease discussing party issues that create unrest, negativism, and disaffection in the media and other related platforms. Her actions are not only in disregard of this directive but also undermine the party’s efforts to rebuild and move forward,” part of the statement read.
The statement further explained that directives have been issued to all party members and leaders to refrain from making utterances that create disaffection within the party in the media.
Hence, Adwoa Safo’s recent media comments contravene this directive.
“As a former Member of Parliament, former Deputy Majority Leader, and former Minister of State under the erstwhile NPP government, she was expected to set a good example and adhere to the principles of discipline, loyalty, and unity that have always defined our great party.
“Her failure to do so not only reflects poorly on her but also contravenes Article 3(5) of the party’s constitution, which, among other things, enjoins us to promote and defend the good name of the party.
“In breach of the above provision of the party’s constitution and the directives issued earlier, Hon. Sarah Adwoa Safo is hereby referred to the National Disciplinary Committee of the party for further action,” the statement added.
Adwoa Safo, in a recent media tour, expressed what she referred to as her long-endured unfair treatment, despite her previous apology to the party and her constituency after having family issues and abandoning her constituency for some months.
