The Member of Parliament for Dome Kwabenya, Sarah Adwoa Safo has denied claims from the minority that she was impersonated.
The legislator who double as the Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection has been the topic for discussion in the media space following allegations by the Minority that she was impersonated during Tuesday’s proceedings in the House as the Majority wanted to at all cost accept the 2022 budget which the minority had earlier rejected.[ads2]
Adwoa Safo has been absent from parliament after she was granted leave by the President and later had it extended.
But according to the member of Parliament for North Tongu, Okudzato Ablakwa videos and photos available to them reveal that Sarah Adwoa Safo wasn’t in Parliament on last Tuesday but was represented by a different woman who was wearing a nose masks.[ads3]
Mr. Ablakwa disclosed that the Minority has already begun investigating the matter.
In Parliament today, December 1, 2021 Sarah Adwoa Safo denied the claims, stressing that she was in Parliament last Tuesday.
“Mr. Speaker, I was present in this house yesterday [Tuesday],” she insisted on the floor of Parliament on Wednesday, December 1, 2021.
Adwoa Safo however dismissed Okudzeto Ablakwa’s claims, saying “I cannot force Hon. Okudzeto Ablakwa, who is my friend on the other side, to dress the way I want him to dress, that is an insult to womanhood so those making that noise should withdraw.”[ads5]
