Speaker of Parliament expected to determine Adwoa Safo’s fate today

The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin is expected to make a pronouncement on the fate of Dome Kwabenya Member of Parliament, Sara Adwoa Safo today, Thursday, July 28, 2022.

This follows the laying of the Privileges Committee’s report on her absence in Parliament. The report delivered a split decision on whether or not her seat should be declared vacant.

The committee failed to achieve a consensus in its recommendations on whether absenting herself for more than the mandatory 15 days without permission warrants her seat being declared vacant.

According to a copy of the report, available to Citi News, the Majority wants the seat declared vacant without delay in line with stated constitutional provisions, while the Minority argued that according to the principle of natural justice, the seat should not be declared vacant because Adwoa Safo did not provide her side of the issue to the committee.

The Speaker according to Citi News sources will give a verdict on the matter before the house goes on recess today.
