Former Dome-Kwabenya Member of Parliament, Sarah Adwoa Safo, has criticized the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) committee established to investigate the party’s defeat in the 2024 elections, labeling it as lacking credibility and being agenda-driven.
She alleged that the committee was deliberately formed to push a specific agenda rather than conduct an impartial fact-finding mission.
Speaking during an interview with Joy FM, Adwoa Safo asserted, “It is a very bogus committee. A committee that is put together just to find certain facts and push a particular candidate away from the candidacy so that we can bring our own, you call that a credible fact-finding committee?”.
Adwoa Safo specifically questioned the appointment of Prof. Mike Oquaye as the committee’s chairman, citing a potential conflict of interest.
She challenged Prof. Oquaye to first address the reasons behind his son, Mike Oquaye Junior’s loss of the Dome-Kwabenya parliamentary seat before assessing the party’s overall electoral performance.
Safo argued that the party should have selected a more neutral and experienced individual to lead the committee, suggesting that the current leadership undermines the committee’s objectivity and effectiveness.
“If Prof Mike Oquaye thinks he has integrity and credibility, I want to see the first page of his fact-finding report explaining why his son Mike Oquaye Junior lost the Dome-Kwabenya seat. If he does that with transparency, without bias or prejudice, then I will accept any findings he presents against Dr Bawumia. Otherwise, that report will not hold in this party.
“His son has lost, and you think he is the best person to lead a fact-finding committee that includes that very constituency? Why not choose an independent person? Couldn’t we find anyone else in the party to chair it?” Adwo Safo asked.
