MP calls for fair treatment of Adwoa Safo amid NPP disciplinary probe

Member of Parliament for Mpraeso Constituency in the Eastern Region, Davis Opoku Ansah, has urged the New Patriotic Party (NPP) leadership to exercise sensitivity and fairness in its handling of former Dome-Kwabenya MP, Sarah Adwoa Safo, who has been referred to the party’s Disciplinary Committee.
In a statement, Opoku Ansah admitted that Adwoa Safo endured intense criticism during the 8th Parliament, with many—including himself—judging her harshly without fully understanding her struggles.
He expressed regret over how she was treated, particularly as she navigated personal and maternal challenges.
"Many of us, myself included, judged you harshly.
We blamed you for actions and inactions that we believed had dire consequences for our party.
But today, with reflection, I say—we were wrong," he stated.
He further questioned why Adwoa Safo's recent remarks should warrant disciplinary action when others within the party have spoken freely without facing similar consequences.
Calling for engagement rather than retribution, he emphasized that party unity should take precedence over punitive measures.
"Instead of coercion, we must seek understanding.
Instead of alienation, we must draw closer," he urged.
He also called on the NPP to acknowledge Adwoa Safo’s concerns regarding the committee, chaired by Prof. Mike Oquaye, and to ensure a fair process that fosters dialogue rather than division.
The call for restraint comes after Adwoa Safo was referred to the Disciplinary Committee following her recent interview on JoyNews, where she opened up about her experiences in the party and Parliament.
