Dome Kwabenya’s Sara Adwoa Safo Sacked as Gender Minister

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has revoked the appointment of Hon. Sara Adwoa Safo, as the Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection.

A press release issued on Thursday evening, July 28, 2022 and signed by the Director of Communications at the Presidency, Eugene Arhin on, indicated that the President’s decision was to take immediate effect.

According to the release, the Minister for Sanitation and Water Resources, Cecilia Abena Dapaah, will continue to act as caretaker Minister until such a time that a new substantive Minister is appointed.

The beleaguered Member of Parliament for the Dome Kwabenya Constituency, has been the talk of town lately for a long absence in performing her parliamentary duty and Ministerial duties.

She has been referred to the Privileges Committee for a determination of her fate either to declare her seat vacant or not for breaching the provisions of the constitution which prohibits Members of Parliament to absent themselves in Parliament for at least 15 sittings within a single meeting.

Interestingly, Parliament failed to take a concrete decision on her issue because the House could not agree on the right procedure to adopt in handling the recommendation by the Privileges Committee to declare her seat vacant.

Rt. Hon Speaker, Alban Bagbin asked to be given more time to give a full ruling on the subject after the House returns from recess in October this year.
