A member of Parliament’s Privileges Committee has urged Sarah Adwoa Safo, the Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya Constituency, to resign from the legislature.
Michael Okyere Baafi said the beleaguered lawmaker should not compel the Majority caucus in Parliament to table a motion for her expulsion because the majority of members are dissatisfied with her recent behavior.
“She has not done herself well in my opinion,” the New Juaben South MP told Komla Klutse of Media General in an interview on Tuesday, April 5.
“And her political ratings will now immediately fall because people are dissatisfied with her, particularly members of the Majority group.”

“And so I think she should take the decision and that she shouldn’t sit down for any person in leadership or in caucus to table a motion for her to be expelled from the party or to be pushed out.”
This suggestion by Mr Okyere Baafi comes after Adwoa Safo and two other MPs were on Tuesday referred to the Privileges Committee by Speaker of Parliament Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin.
The three including Assin Central’s Ken Ohene Agyapong and Ayawaso Central’s Henry Quartey are said to have absented themselves from sittings more than 15 times in contravention of the Standing Orders.
They, therefore, face expulsion.
The New Juaben South MP insists that in the case of the Dome-Kwabenay MP, “she is well and she is doing well” and it will serve her best interest to resign for “the good people of Dome-Kwabenya to get good representation in Parliament”.
“She cannot treat them like that. It is not too good.”
