A former Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya, and a New Patriotic Party (NPP) stalwart, Sarah Adwoa Safo, was, on Monday, April 7, 2025, summoned to appear before the party’s disciplinary committee. The invitation, contained in a letter dated March 24, 2025, requested Adwoa Safo’s presence at the party’s headquarters at Asylum Down, Accra, to assist in an ongoing inquisition. The letter, signed by William Yamoah, on behalf of the Secretary of the Disciplinary Committee, Patrick Boamah, stated that the former MP’s appearance was pursuant to directives from the committee’s leadership. It advised the former MP to bring along any documentary evidence or witnesses and informed her of her right to legal representation during the proceedings. “The Party remains committed to upholding principles of transparency, fairness, and due process. Your cooperation in this regard is greatly appreciated”, the letter read in part. The reason behind the disciplinary invitation can be attributed to her recent media outbursts, in which she spelled out unfair treatment meted out to her by some party loyalists. The party had issued a warning to its members to desist from any form of public engagements that had the potential to create more problems for its ongoing efforts to bridge gaps and build unity. The party leadership believes her recent media engagement is an affront to the said directive and hence the invitation. The communication was also copied to the NPP’s National Chairman, the General Secretary, and the Chairman of the Disciplinary Committee, underscoring its seriousness. However, there is a new development as it may appear that Sarah Adwoa Safo wasn’t appropriately legally served to appear before the committee. Adwoa Safo was at the party’s headquarters on Monday, April 7, in honor of the letter, but disappointingly couldn’t meet the disciplinary committee. Although no reason has been adduced yet to explain why the committee couldn’t uphold the date of summon, a number of factors have come up, introducing a twist to this development. Adwoa Safo’s invite before the committee was served on Sunday, April 6, which was a weekend. “I was served today (Sunday). Legally weekends and public holidays are not days one can be served”, the former lawmaker remarked while commenting on the action taken against her. According to Ghana’s legal norms, weekends and statutory public holidays are generally exempted from the service of official notices or the conduct of formal hearings, unless under exceptional circumstances. Observers argue that scheduling such a hearing on a weekend does not only raise legal questions but may also expose the party to claims of procedural irregularities or political targeting. It remains to be seen whether the scheduled hearing will be rescheduled in accordance with legal norms or if it will proceed despite the weekend, potentially setting a precedent in the party’s internal disciplinary processes.
