A communicator of the New Patriotic Party(NPP), Emmanuel Appienti, has applauded President Akufo-Addo for revoking her ministerial appointment.
He said this on Movement In The Morning Show With Kwaku Dawuro.
He said, ”the E-levy took a long time to be passed because of Adwoa Safo’s absence. If the President says he has revoked her ministerial appointment, I agree with him. Parliament should do the needful and first think about the progress of the country than their political parties. If it is by-elections, we should go. It is better than she being around and won’t get her support. Sacking her is the right thing’’.
On Thursday, 28th July 2022, President Akufo-Addo under article 81(a) of the constitution, revoked the ministerial position of Hon. Sarah Adwoa Safo after absenting herself from her parliamentary duties.
A release signed by the Director of Communications for the office of the President, Eugene Arhin read;
In accordance with article 81 (a) of the Constitution, the President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has revoked the appointment of Hon. Sarah Adwoa Safo, Member of Parliament for Dome Kwabenya, as Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, with immediate effect.
The Minister for Sanitation and Water Resources, Madam Cecilia Abena Dapaah, will continue to act as caretaker Minister for the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection, until such a time that President Akufo-Addo appoints a substantive Minister.
