Sarah Adwoa Safo the former New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament for Dome Kwabenya has broken her silence on her long absence in parliament and as a Gender Minister.
According to Adwoa Safo, she lost her baby and her eldest son fell ill in the USA.
She further asserted that only a witch would choose work over her children
Adwoa Safo further cried out that there was a character assassination against her.
According to Adwoa Safo, there was a need for her to set the records straight and nobody should tell her that she was discussing party issues on TV or Radio.
Speaking in an interview with JOYNEWS, Adwoa Safo narrated, “There was a character assassination, and there was the need to set the record straight nobody should tell me that I am discussing party issues on TV, or radio so I should stop. Reputation is everything that anybody has got things that we said, things that we did and said about me are stuck in the minds of Ghanaians.
I have been branded the way I am not supposed to be branded and I owe it to myself to clear it up, to let Ghanaians know my side of the story, and that is not selling my party”.
She added, “As humans, we are bound to face challenges and I faced challenges in my career and those who ought to know I made them know. You remember in 2020 when I was going for the elections I was heavily pregnant, yes I have a role to play as a mother, I lost my baby and I didn’t get what I was expecting out of the term of my pregnancy.
It didn’t end there, in the time of my grieving my eldest son fell ill in the United States I had to be there and I made sure I notified those who ought to know, and I wasn’t there the way they made the picture look. I was making sure that what ought to be said and communicated to all those that matter I did.
As a minister, you can’t travel out without permission from the Chief of Staff, I expected mothers to feel my pains, and I expected fathers to feel my pain, and that is what happened. My son was on the verge of death I had the choice to stay as a mother and take care of my son or take up my position as a member of parliament and a minister”.
Adwoa Safo added, “Any mother watching me today should put herself in my shoes what choice will you have made? Of course, if you are not a witch you are gonna choose that of your child and that I did and I don’t regret it”.
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.
