Deputy Majority Leader in Ghana’s Parliament, Sarah Adwoa Safo, has corrected what she calls the false impression being created by the media about her regarding her receiving a Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) scholarship.
According to the Minister of State in charge of public procurement, she was awarded the scholarship for a training programme at the Harvard Kennedy School to improve herself and also benefit the country.

The Member of Parliament (MP) for Dome Kwabenya says the publication of the media on the GETFund matter on Monday, February 24, 2020, “smacks of an attempt to smear” her reputation.
She noted in a letter that the account of the media on the GETFund scholarship awarded her is erroneous.
“[The media publication] smacks of an attempt to smear my reputation as a Member of Parliament and Minister of State and box me into a self-serving public official.”
The Deputy Majority Leader of Parliament also indicated that the purpose of receiving the GETFund support, “was to attend a programme at the Harvard Kennedy School to enable me to serve my constituents, parliament and nation better” and urged the public to “disregard the said publication and treat it with the contempt it deserves.”
