The family of the late Madam Gertrude Essie Quashigah has addressed the corruption claims against the former school feeding boss.

The former NPP MP's aspersions cast on the former school feeding boss are part of her efforts to hold her own against her party for throwing her under the bus.

Gertrude Quashie's family speaks

The family of the late say they were taken aback by Adwo Safo's comment.

They petitioned the embittered MP to consider retracting her words and desisting from tainting their mother's legacy.

A huge part of the family's disappointment stemmed from the allegations against their deceased mother came from someone they consider to have a well-meaning relationship with, by virtue of their family's long-standing historical ties.

The statement further urged Ghanaians to honour the memory of Madam Gertrude Quashigah, highlighting her lifelong dedication to the welfare of Ghanaian children and national service.

Our mother, who served as National Coordinator of the GSFP from 2019 until her untimely passing in 2023, carried out her responsibilities with the highest levels of integrity, dedication, and selflessness. Under her stewardship, the Programme witnessed remarkable expansion, touching the lives of thousands of Ghanaian schoolchildren and significantly improving nutrition and welfare standards across the country.

Adwoa Safo referred to disciplinary committee after recent rant against NPP figures

It is deeply painful that such unfounded and unfortunate accusations are being levelled against our mother at a time when she is no longer present to speak for herself. These remarks have caused distress not only to us, her children, but to all who respected her contributions to national development.

We are particularly disheartened given the historical relationship between our late father, Major Courage Quashigah (Rtd), and Hon. Safo's father, Apostle Kwadwo Safo. Both families have shared bonds rooted in mutual respect and public service, making these claims all the more disappointing.

We respectfully call on Hon. Sarah Adwoa Safo to retract her statement, issue an unqualified apology, and refrain from further casting aspersions on the legacy of our late mother.
