Adwoa Safo and two other NPP MPs, Kennedy Agyapong and Henry Quartey, were recently referred to the Privileges Committee of Parliament for absenting themselves for more than 15 consecutive sittings without permission. But the NPP General Secretary, John Boadu, has defended the trio in an interview on Joy News channel stating that all three MPs sought permission before staying out of Parliament. He also mentioned that Adwoa Safo’s stay outside was prolonged due to her son’s surgery. “I don’t think the party will have any other position than to canvass the position of the fact that all of them sought permission before staying outside. I expect [them to be cleared by the privileges committee],” Mr. Boadu said in the interview that aired on April 26.
