Privileges committee publishes Adwoa Safo’s invitation publicly after several attempts to serve her failed
Legislator for Dome-Kwabenya, Sarah Adwoa Sarfo has been summoned to appear before the privileges committee on July 6 2022 over her chronic absenteeism in the house.
Joseph Osei Owusu who is a Chairman of the committee has instructed that the summons be published publicly as the Member of Parliament has been unreachable.
“The Chairman of the Privileges Committee has directed that summons to the Hon. Member for Dome Kwabenya to appear before the Privileges Committee of Parliament on 6th July 2022 at noon at Parliament House, New Administration Block, Committee Room 1, 2 & 3 under Article 103 (6) of the Constitution and Order 205 of the Standing Orders of Parliament be published in all relevant media. This comes after all attempts to reach the Honourable Member by the Committee failed,” a statement from the Parliamentary Service said.
Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin has tasked The Privileges Committee, to engage Adwoa Safo, Kennedy Agyapong and Henry Quartey over complaints of perpetual absenteeism brought against them.
The three are expected to give justifiable reasons for their absenteeism, failure of which actions will be taken to remove them from Parliament.
The Committee said it “has employed all available means, both official and unofficial, to serve the Member with an invitation letter, including sending the invitation letter to her office and pigeonhole in Parliament,” but it is yet to get any response from her.
In a previous interview with Joy News, Adwoa Safo said she was in the US and had not been served any invitation from the committee.
