According to Adwoa Safo, she didn’t vote for the e-levy, and I have no regrets about my decision.

She further asserted that if the e-levy was truly a good tax, why did we still end up at the IMF?

Speaking on JOYNEWS, Adwoa Safo detailed, “I didn’t vote for the e-levy, and I have no regrets about my decision. I refrained from supporting it because I believed it wouldn’t benefit the people of Ghana. Instead, it would take away from their already limited resources, especially the most vulnerable members of society”.

“Ghanaians voted against us partly because of the E-levy”, she stated.

She further added, “Individuals who were most affected were those working in low-paying jobs, who relied on sending money back to their families in the villages. These individuals were already struggling, and the e-levy took away the little they had. It was a tax on their hard-earned money, further deepening their difficulties”.

“We were told that by introducing the e-levy, Ghana could avoid going to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). However, in the end, we still ended up seeking IMF support. Despite implementing this tax, the government was unable to avoid the very financial assistance it promised we could manage without”, she stated.

According to Adwoa Safo, she feels vindicated about not voting for the e-levy.

The former MP stated, “I feel vindicated, if the e-levy was truly a good tax, why did we still end up at the IMF? How can we justify taxing those who are already struggling, especially when it didn’t even prevent us from seeking IMF support?”.

“It just didn’t make sense. The e-levy hurt ordinary Ghanaians, and in the end, it didn’t achieve what it promised”, she added.

Meanwhile, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has dragged the former member of parliament for Dome-Kwabenya Sarah Adwoa Safo to its National Disciplinary Committee over her media ranting.

The NPP had earlier urged its members to desist from airing their dirty linen in public.

The party issued a directive to its members on Thursday, March 20, 2025. Signed by the party’s General Secretary, party faithful were urged to refrain from discussing internal party matters in the media that could lead to disaffection and unrest.

This comes in the wake of the party’s defeat in the recent elections, which has left many members expressing their frustration and disappointment publicly.

In a statement on Thursday, March 20, Justin Kodua Frimpong, General Secretary of the Party emphasized the need for calm and unity among members, citing the party’s Constitution under Article 10(7)(5), which mandates coordination of party activities.

“Let us uphold the values of the NPP and work together to rebuild a stronger party for the future,” the statement read.

In a follow-up statement the same day March 20, 2025, NPP General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong stated that Adwoa Safo’s rants defy the NPP directives.

The statement stated, “As she is aware, the directive explicitly states that all party members must cease discussing party issues that create unrest, negativism, and disaffection in the media and other related platforms. Her actions are not only in disregard of this directive but also undermine the Party’s efforts to rebuild and move forward.

“As a former Member of Parliament, Former Deputy Majority Leader, and Former Minister of State under the erstwhile NPP government, she was expected to set a good example and adhere to the principles of discipline, loyalty and unity that have always defined our great party.

“Her failure to do so not only reflects poorly on her but also in contravention of Article 3(5) of the Party’s constitution, which, among others enjoins us to promote ar.d defend the good name of the Party.

“In breach of the above provision of the Party’s constitution and the directives issued earlier, Hon Sarah Adwoa Sarfo is hereby referred to the National Disciplinary Committee of the Party for rusher action”, the statement added.
