Your Behavior Is Very Offensive – Sylvester Tetteh Scolds Adwoa Safo

Member of Parliament for Bortianor-Ngleshie Amanfro, Sylvester Tetteh has advised lawyer Sarah Adwoa Safo, Dome/Kwabenya Member of Parliament, to stop holding the government to ransom.

Lawyer Adwoa Safo’s absence in Parliament is disturbing the Majority in Parliament as their e-levy policy remains hanging without her vote.

Adwoa Safo, who doubles as Minister for Gender, is presently based in United States and  making demands before she comes back to Parliament.

She wants the President to remove the Deputy Majority Leader in Parliament and hand over the position to her, according to Assin Central MP, Kennedy Agyapong.

She is said to have threatened not to return to her Parliamentary duties if the President refuses to heed her demand.

Hon. Sylvester Tetteh, in response, has admonished Adwoa Safo to reconsider her decision.

He asked her not to forget the good things that the NPP has done for her stressing ”it’s the party’s (NPP) ticket that brought you to Parliament, so you should be grateful to the party first and be grateful to the President”.

He added; ”We, in Parliament, are 138 and the people who voted for NPP are over 5 million, I don’t think the President can give everyone an appointment in his eight-year tenure as a President. And so, if you are blessed to be given that opportunity, you must accord the President respect. You must respect Parliament, your leadership. You don’t make further demands. The demands she is making, what it means, is that you are insulting all the Parliamentarians.”

Hon. Tetteh found Adwoa Safo’s behavior very offensive to the NPP saying ”I feel Adwoa Safo knows very well what she is doing…If she has a problem, she must let us know but until we know she has any specific problem, we see her conduct as very offensive to the majority caucus; very offensive to her constituents”.
