The Dome-Kwabenya Member of Parliament, Sarah Adwoa Safo, has revealed that she has not been served any notification to show up before Parliament's Privileges Committee.
In a selective meeting on JoyNews' The Pulse on Thursday, the Gender Minister said she just knew about the gathering through her meeting on the channel. "I'm not mindful something like this has been given to me. I'm simply hearing it from you. Right now, I don't realize that I have been welcomed. A Ranking Member on the Committee, Ricketts Kweku Hagan, told JoyNews in prior interview that the Committee has formally kept in touch with each of the three New Patriotic Party's MPs alluded to the Committee.
"Taking everything into account, I have not been educated by the Clerk that they have said they can't come or whatever, so I expect to be that on the off chance that they have gotten the welcome, we hope to see them. "Just Hon. Kennedy Agyapong is the one that I know has requested authorization which myself and the Chairman examined and we obliged that he can have that," he expressed. Be that as it may, Madam Adwoa Safo has kept any information from getting the meeting.
In the mean time, she says she will get back to the country from the United States when her child is fit and solid.
Adwoa Safo made sense of that she is at present dealing with her unwell child and needs to guarantee everything is settled before she continues her obligations as a MP and a Gender Minister. The troubled lawmaker was supposed to show up before the Privileges Committee of Parliament on Friday, May 27, yet the booked gathering has been deferred until additional notification.
Reference to Privileges Committee
Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, alluded three individuals from the House to the Privileges Committee, for their persistent nonattendance in Parliament. The three are; the Dome-Kwabenya MP, Sarah Adwoa Safo, Ayawaso Central MP, Henry Quartey and Assin Central MP, Kennedy Agyapong - all from the New Patriotic Party (NPP's) side of the House.
As indicated by the Speaker, the three administrators had penetrated the 15-day nonappearance rule, consequently his choice to allude them to the Privileges Committee for the essential moves to be initiated. Conveying his decision on the floor of Parliament on Tuesday, April 5, Mr Bagbin made sense of that in view of the pertinent arrangements of the 1992 Constitution and the Standing Orders of Parliament, the named NPP legislators are at fault for the non-appearance edge for Members of Parliament. "I have in like manner reach the compelling decision that a Member who absents oneself from 16 sitting long periods of Parliament in a specific gathering, without the consent recorded as a hard copy of the Speaker, falls soundly inside the ambit of Article 97, provision 1(c) of the 1992 Constitution and Order 16(1) of the Standing Orders of Parliament," he expressed. However, responding to this decision, the Minority Chief Whip, Mohammed Mubarak Muntaka, contradicted the Speaker.
As he would like to think, the Speaker might voluntarily at any point allude the expressed Members to the Privileges Committee. As per the NDC legislator, on the off chance that such a decision is permitted to win, a dangerous show will be made for Parliament. He, in this manner, asked his partners on the two sides of the separation to mobilize against the Speaker's order concerning the three NPP legislators.
"The risk, partners, as we sit in this chamber is this; in the event that we permit Speakers to take petitions from untouchables and suo mut.
