“The Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya will be present after Parliament’s recess and will take any decision the Speaker of Parliament gives in good stride,” citinewsroom.com reports
The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, suspended his ruling on the fate of Sarah Adwoa Safo as the Member of Parliament for Dome Kwabenya Constituency on July 28, 2022.
The speaker, ahead of Parliament’s recess, was expected to deliver a final ruling on the matter of the MP who was referred to the Privileges Committee for absenting herself for more than 15 sittings of the house without permission.
The committee, by a majority decision, had recommended the declaration of Adwoa Safo’s seat as vacant, paving the way for a by-election in Dome Kwabenya.
However, during the House's debate before the recess, the majority and minority sides took diverging views on what should become the fate of the absentee MP.
Whereas the majority led by Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu called for a declaration of Adwoa Safo’s seat as vacant, the minority led by Haruna Iddrisu argued otherwise.
