The president and the Dome-Kwabenya MP have had a falling out over the MP's long absence from Parliament and her former post as minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection.

The lawmaker also flouted standing orders of Parliament on absenteeism, prompting a motion to kick her out of the Legislature too. That process remains inconclusive and she still is a lawmaker.

In photos shared on Facebook, Sarah Adwoa Safo can be seen flanking the president on his left as he cut a ribbon to launch the model school.
