Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, MP for Assin Central, claims that Akosua Frema Osei-Opare, Chief of Staff, handed him GH120,000 to deposit in the bank account of Dome-Kwabenya MP, Sarah Adwoa Safo, so that she could be in Parliament and serve for the administration.
“I’ve pledged not to insult her, but I’m going to blast her today.” Chief of Staff Adwoa Safo contacted me, I got there, and she said, “Now this is what she’s saying,” and I swear [on] my mother’s grave, Chief of Staff gave me GH120,000 to deposit in Adwoa Safo’s bank account.”
“I put the money there, I deposited it in her Fidelity bank account, and you can ask her PA if what I’m saying is false.” I put the money in there. We are now in opposition because of how she is acting,” an enraged Kennedy Agyapong said on Asaase Radio on Tuesday, February 22.
“Now that we are in opposition, the way Adwoa Safo treats the party is plainly demonstrating that we are in opposition, and this should not be accepted at all,” he continued.
Agyapong, who has two children with the MP, has voiced concerns about her behavior in the last week.
According to him, the Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection has failed in life for requesting that she should be made a Deputy Majority Leader in Parliament.

He wondered why a cabinet minister will now want to occupy a position that is below the rank of a Minister.
Speaking on the rampant absence of Adwoa Safo from Parliament in an earlier interview with GTV, Kennedy Agyapong alleged:
“She says she wants to be Deputy Majority Leader, that woman has failed in life. A whole cabinet minister now demanding that she should be made a Deputy Majority Leader before she comes, she should go to hell.
“You don’t come to Parliament and you are on TikTok dancing? Dome Kwabenya is not for Apostle Kwadwo Safo, get it straight. I am very furious because people are insulting me because I went there to campaign for her. Mike Oquaye the Speaker, the man that I respect very well, I campaigned against his son because Adwoa used my kids, calling me and begging me to help her. And now everybody is insulting me for doing that but I have not regretted it, she is very responsible when it comes to the kids,” he said on GTV Monday, February 21.
Asked how many days she has been absent from Parliament, he answered, “More than 15 days and the law says 15 days.”
Asked again whether Ghanaians should expect her seat to be declared vacant, he said: “Why not? She should go and contest on TikTok.”
Some members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) believe she is sabotaging the government.
Also, MP for New Juabeng South, Micheal Okyere Baafi, had stated that she is making the work of the government in Parliament difficult.
“All the problems the government is facing are attributable to Adwoa Safo. Clearly, her intention and posture show that she wants to sabotage NPP,” he said on Kumasi-based Hello FM
