The Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Dome-Kwabenya Constituency, Robert Osei Bonsu, is surprised about the renewed energy by Member of Parliament Sarah Adwoa Safo to serve in Parliament.
Mr Osei Bonsu told TV3‘s Richard Bright Addo in an interview that “it may be too late” in the day for the three-time MP.
In the interview on Wednesday, August 17, the Constituency Chairman said he has not even heard from Ms Safo in about a year and does not even know where she wrote her letter from.
“Even as the Constituency Chairman, I have not heard from her,” he said. “Not at all, for about a year now. It’s unfortunate.”
He, however, lauded the past two terms of the MP, describing it as “fantastic”.
“We love her, that’s why we have given her three term as a Member in Parliament. But has she finished with what she is doing in the [United] States now? Is she coming back to be an absentee Parliamentarian or is she now coming back to work? It may be a bit too late for her.”
This follows the former Deputy Majority Leader’s resolve to turn her attention to her constituency duties after her appointment as Minister of Gender, Children and Social Protection was revoked last month by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
“It is with profound gratitude that I express utmost appreciation to you for the opportunity to serve as Minister in both terms of your government,” she stated in her response to President Akufo-Addo.
“Cognizant of my duties to the 75,000 constituents who elected me, this development is opportune and will afford me more time to concentrate on my Parliamentary responsibilities and Constituency engagements as well as consolidate the gains we have made as a government at the Constituency level in our quest to break the eight.”
