Check Out The Ruling Of Speaker Bagbin On The Adwoa Safo Absenteeism Brouhaha. The Parliament of Ghana has resumed sittings after the 3 months recess or break. One of the pending issues before the break was the fate of the Dome Kwabenya lawmaker, Honorable Sarah Adwoa Safo, following her absence in Parliament.
Today, the Speaker of Parliament has delivered his ruling on this matter. The Speaker of Parliament stated emphatically that Parliament will debate the removal or otherwise of Adwoa Safo. As part of parliamentary standing orders, after the debate, the Members of Parliament will vote on whether she should vacate her seat. In other words, the fate of the Honorable Member of Parliament is no longer in the hands of the Speaker of Parliament. It is in the hands of the Members of Parliament.
