Adwoa Safo, Assin Central MP, Kennedy Agyapong and Ayawaso Central MP, Henry Quartey were dragged to the committee absenting themselves from Parliament for a long period of time.

Although Mr Agyapong and Mr Quartey have been reached privately with summons, Adwoa Safo has not been served.

She recently claimed that she did not even know she needed to appear before the Privileges Committee to answer for her over three months continuous absence from Parliament.

Adwoa Safo insists she does not know when she will return to Parliament because her son, who is resident in the United States, needs her.

Her position as Gender and Social Protection Minister has been temporarily assigned to Sanitation Minister, Cecilia Dapaah.
