The New Patriotic Party's (NPP) Disciplinary Committee has announced a postponement of the scheduled hearing for former Dome-Kwabenya MP, Sarah Adwoa Safo. Originally, the hearing was set for Monday, April 7, 2025, as outlined in a letter dated March 24. The reason for the hearing stemmed from alleged violations of a party directive that prohibits members from publicly discussing issues that could create disaffection within the NPP.
However, a subsequent letter from the committee, issued on Sunday, April 6, 2025, revealed that the hearing has been formally postponed. The committee cited "emerging scheduling adjustments and internal considerations" as the reasons for this delay. They also assured that a new date and time for the hearing would be determined and communicated to Adwoa Safo promptly. "I bring you warm greetings from the national secretariat of the party. Further to our earlier correspondence dated March 24, 2025, with reference number NPP/HQ/GS/2025/24/03/DC, inviting you to appear before the Disciplinary Committee on Monday, April 7, 2025, we wish to notify you that the said hearing has formally been postponed," the letter stated.
The committee expressed its appreciation for Adwoa Safo's cooperation and reaffirmed the party's commitment to upholding the values of fairness, due process, and procedural integrity throughout its deliberations.
Sarah Adwoa Safo was initially referred to the NPP's disciplinary committee on March 20, 2025, following comments she made on the Pulse Show of Joy News. General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong issued a statement asserting that her comments were a "clear contravention" of directives issued to all NPP members to refrain from discussing party matters that could cause unrest or disaffection in the media.
The statement emphasized that Adwoa Safo, as a former Member of Parliament, Deputy Majority Leader, and Minister of State, was expected to set an example of discipline, loyalty, and unity. The party argued that her actions undermined its efforts to rebuild and move forward, and were in breach of Article 3(5) of the NPP's constitution, which mandates members to promote and defend the party's good name.
"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 undermines the Party’s efforts to rebuild and move forward," Frimpong stated. "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 further action," he wrote.NPP Disciplinary Committee Delays Adwoa Safo Hearing
