The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has summoned former Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya Constituency, Lawyer Sarah Adwoa Safo, to appear before its disciplinary committee.

The three-term MP will face her party's disciplinary committee on Monday, April 7, 2025, at 11:00 AM to answer allegations of anti-party behaviour.

Lawyer Sarah Adwoa Safo is being hauled before the NPP's disciplinary committee for allegedly violating the party's directive.

Recall that the former legislator went public to share her frustrations about some happenings in the NPP, which she believed resulted in their humiliating defeat in the December 7, 2024, general election.

She further accused some key members of the party, including the former National Coordinator of the Ghana School Feeding Programme (GSFP), Mrs Gertrude Quashigah, who is now deceased, of corruption and mismanagement.

In the case of Mrs Gertrude Quashigah, Adwoa Safo alleged that the former director of the Ghana School Feeding Programme tried adding non-existent schools as beneficiaries of the School Feeding Programme so she could pocket the money.

Mrs Quashigah's family demands an apology

The family of the late Mrs Quashigah's family in a strongly worded statement on the issue denied the allegations.

The family then demanded an apology from Sarah Adwoa Safo, who served as the former Minister for Gender, Children, and Social Protection.

“Our mother carried out her responsibilities with the highest levels of integrity, dedication, and selflessness,” the statement read in parts.

Following this, the NPP's General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, issued a statement banning its members across the country from publicly discussing issues that may cause disaffection within the party.

"This is selective party disciplinary. What happened to freedom of speech? What disciplinary action was taken against others who similarly spoke out? Leave Adwoa alone!"

@kwesi_sol replied:

"Warning from talking about bad governance that affected their reelection...they prefer you don't say nothing or just lie that they did a good job."

@eddy_mens21 reacted:

"They don’t like the truth, they always want to lie and steal that’s why Ghanaians have sidelined them."
