Stop Telling The Lies; We Never Sacked  Adwoa Safo –Gender Ministry Tells Ghanaian Politicians

According to the ministry, Mrs. Sarah Adwoa Safo, remains the substantive Minister of the MoGSP, saying that that the Minister sought leave of absence for personal reasons and that the Caretaker-Minister would be in charge until further notice.

This clarification was contained in a statement copied to Soireenews in which the Ministry stressed that no communication had been given from the Presidency about a change in her status as Minister.

We have not received any such official communication from the Presidency, the Public Relations Unit of the Ministry told GNA on Wednesday, February 23, 2022.

They subsequently asked the public to disregard such discussions in the media.

Reports have become rife that the Minister who doubles as Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya had been relieved of her role as Minister.

Mrs. Adwoa Safo has come under fire from elements within her party for 'abandoning' Parliament and the Ministry, with calls for her removal from both roles continuing to mount.

In October last year, a statement from the Presidency signed by the Director of Communications, Mr. Eugene Arhin, and copied to the Ghana News Agency, said President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, had directed Madam Cecilia Abena Dapaah, the Minister of Sanitation and Water Resources, to act as a Caretaker Minister of MoGCSP.

This was after the President extended the leave of absence from the office of Madam Safo, which was to have ended on August 31, 2021, the statement said.
