Kevin Taylor Criticises Adwoa Safo's Rants, Claims She Wants To Be Bawumia's Running Mate

• Kevin Taylor in a video criticised Adwoa Safo's recent rants and corruption allegations implicating NPP in graft when the opposition was in power
• The broadcast journalist has questioned why the former MP for Dome-Kwabenya did not speak up when the NPP was governing the nation
• He alleged Adwoa Safo's rants were an attempt to whitewash the image of former Vice-President Bawumia and secure the opportunity to be his running mate

Broadcast journalist Kevin Taylor has criticised former Dome-Kwabenya MP Adwoa Safo over her recent allegations of corruption in the school feeding program during the New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration.

He accused her of making these claims for political gain and questioned her credibility.

Adwoa Safo, who served as Minister for Gender, Children, and Social Protection, said the program was mismanaged and funds were not properly accounted for.

She claimed that when she tried to audit the scheme, some officials, including the late National Coordinator Gertrude Quashigah, ignored her calls and used political connections to avoid scrutiny.

Kevin Taylor condemned her for mentioning Quashigah, saying it was unfair to bring up allegations against someone who is no longer alive to defend themselves.

He also questioned why Safo remained silent about these issues when the NPP was in power. He suggested that she was now speaking out to align herself with Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.

Adwoa Safo has defended Bawumia and rejected claims that he should be blamed for the NPP’s poor performance in the election. Kevin Taylor alleged that she was positioning herself as a possible running mate for Bawumia.

In addition to the school feeding claims, she also spoke about her absence during the 2022 Electronic Transfer Levy (E-Levy) vote. She said she did not participate because she believed the policy would not help Ghanaians.

However, her explanation has raised doubts, as many recall reports of a masked woman taking her seat during the vote.
